NBA 2nd Round Playoffs betting – Tuesday Game 2 odds & free tips

Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks – 8pm EST, Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Celtics Lead 1-0
Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors – 10.30pm EST, Oracle Arena, Oakland, Warriors Lead 1-0

The NBA Playoffs conference Semi-Finals are in full flight and we’re getting closer to whittling down the best of the best in the 2018/19 race to the title.

Two of the most anticipated match-ups of the week are scheduled on the same day for double the action.

Firstly, it will be the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks who battle in Game Two of their series, then the Houston Rockets will make their way to Oakland to renew one of the great modern rivalries against the Championship favourites, the Golden State Warriors.

James Harden and his Rockets came unbelievably-close to knocking off the Warriors in Game One, only losing the match by four points.

Every team has players that need to step up in Game Two of their series, especially the Bucks who were embarrassed by the Celtics on their home court in Game One.

Here are our tips for the two huge NBA clashes this Tuesday.

Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Game Two Tips

Kyrie Irving Dbl-Dbl @ +200

If the first game of NBA you ever saw was Game one of this series, you would assume Kyrie Irving was the best player in the competition. His ball handling and acrobatics inside the paint have led us to believe he can easily notch up a double-double in this match. Not only did he have 11 assists in the first match, he also pulled down seven rebounds. Irving is leading this team with a point to prove and will do so again here.

Giannis Antetokounmpo 50+ Pts+Reb+Ast @ +180

Even though he was the best player for the Bucks in the first loss of their 2019 playoffs run, the Greek Freak needs to lift in Game Two. Losing by 22-points at home in unacceptable and Giannis would know that, which is why he, as the leader of the Bucks, will come out with aggression and skill, dominating all aspects of the match.

Al Horford Over 8.5 Rebounds @ -114.94

Al Horford could be one of the league’s most underrated players if he continues to play the way he did in Game One. Horford was a beast in the paint and defended extremely well, enough to force poor shots and grab easy rebounds. For a centre to have 8.5 as their Over/Under is criminal.

Milwaukee Bucks Win @ -344.83

It would be the biggest shock of the playoffs if the Celtics won both matches in Milwaukee against the top seed in the Eastern Conference. We’re going with the Bucks to win with ease.

Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors Game Two Tips

Draymond Green Over 7.5 Assists @ -114.94

You have to admire the vision and passing of Warriors big man Draymond Green. For someone as tall as Draymond to average seven assists per game is unique, making him an invaluable player on this already-loaded roster. Green had nine assists in Game One and should find himself with a similar stat line on Tuesday night.

Klay Thompson Over 3 Threes @ +190

Although he defended James Harden very well in the first match, he was nowhere to be found on the offensive end of the court. Klay Thompson is one of the most incredible shooters to ever grace a basketball court and if he can catch fire early in the match, he will easily knock down over three triples.

Kevin Durant Over 44.5 Pts+Reb+Ast @ -114.94

Across the entire playoff race, no player has been more dominant than Kevin Durant, who put up 50 points in the Warriors final match against the Clippers last week. If Durant can shoot the house down in this game, you may not even need to combine his rebounds and assists to exceed 44.5. Nobody can guard him and he is very good at passing and collecting rebounds. This looks like the absolute value bet of the day across all games, sports and formats.

Golden State Warriors Win @ -238.1

It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Rockets stole this match, but the Warriors showed they could get the job done, even when they’re not at their best. We expect an improved showing from the home team and another win.
