NBA Betting Tips: 18 May

There is only one NBA match on Thursday morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his best bets for Boston Celtics v Miami Heat. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

18 May 02:30 Boston Celtics v Miami Heat

Jason Tatum saved Boston’s season in game 6 against the Sixers where he dropped four threes and went on to say he’s one of the best basketball players in the world. After that game he knocked out the Sixers in game 7 where he dropped 51 points, he is riding with confidence heading into this game and will lead his team to a home win here.

The Miami Heat have been impressive so far but the Celtics are better than the Bucks or the Knicks and they will see it tonight. During the regular season, the Heat struggled when it came to scoring and here Jimmy Butler and his teammates will be playing a team that can really defend. Al Horford defended against the MVP Joel Embiid really well and he will put the same defence on Bam Adebayo tonight. With Boston at home take them to cover the spread.

Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics -7.5
