Knicks (-7.5) vs. 76ers (-110)

There are dominant victories, and then there are what the Knicks did to the Hawks on Thursday to advance. The Knicks defeated the Hawks by 51 points (140-89) in a rout from the start. After dropping two of the first three games of the series to Atlanta, the Knicks won three straight by an average of 32 points, with all three wins coming by at least 15 points. OG Anunoby played a huge role for New York, highlighted by his 29 points on 11-for-14 shooting on Thursday. He averaged 21.5 points against Atlanta compared to 16.7 ppg during the regular season, and if he continues to play like that while being surrounded by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks will be tough to beat. The Knicks are 29-14 against the spread at home this year, and the model projects New York to cover in 60% of simulations.  Back the Knicks by claiming the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here :

Timberwolves (+13.5) vs. Spurs (-115)

The Timberwolves closed out the Nuggets without Anthony Edwards, who remains week-to-week with a knee injury, in a 110-98 win on Thursday. Minnesota defeated the Nuggets in six games, and neither of its losses came by more than 12 points. Minnesota went 12-9 in 21 games without Edwards during the regular season, and they went 2-1 against Denver in games Edwards either missed or failed to finish. The Timberwolves went 2-1 against the Spurs during the regular season, with their only loss coming by three points. The Spurs only covered a 13.5-point spread once in three home games against the Trail Blazers in Round One, and Minnesota won seven more games than Portland this year. The model projects Minnesota to cover in 57% of simulations.  Back the Timberwolves by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here :

Braves (+145) vs. Mariners

"Logan Gilbert has lost four of his seven starts this year, but he's a huge favorite against the Braves, who have baseball's best record at 25-10," SportsLine expert Micah Roberts said.  "The Mariners are 16-19 and only 10-10 at home. If you bet the Braves all season, your profit margin is plus-796, but if you bet the Mariners, you're minus-804. The Braves have been doing it with their hitting (No. 1 in hitting at .276), but their pitching has been the main source of their success as they are No. 2 in baseball with a 3.19 ERA. The Braves have won both of JR Ritchie's starts this year. Braves at plus money is a play."  Back the Braves by claiming the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here :
