BetOnline All Access: NBA West Finals Picks 2021
In this extended installment of BetOnline All Access, the crew takes a look at the NBA East Finals, offering a few picks.
NBA Playoff Betting June 24 – Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Clippers
It’s not like the Los Angeles Clippers haven’t been in this situation before. Down 0-2 in the Western Conference finals to the Phoenix Suns, the Clips face a must-win situation when the series shifts to LA for Thursday’s Game 3. No team in NBA history has overcome a 3-0 deficit, though the Clippers rallied after losing the first two games against Dallas and Utah.
NBA Draft Lottery Order Set
Tuesday night the NBA held its annual Draft Lottery, awarding the Detroit Pistons the top pick in the draft for the first time since 1970. The Pistons have been in the lottery in 14 previous seasons, but this is their first-ever win. Detroit, along with Houston and Orlando, had the best odds of winning the lottery at 14%.
NBA Playoff Betting June 23 – Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks open in this one as a 7-point favorite, the largest spread in any of their playoff games this season.
NBA Playoff Betting June 22, 2021 – Los Angeles Clippers at Phoenix Suns
The Los Angeles Clippers are in a familiar position heading into Game 2 of the Western Conference final against the Phoenix Suns. The Clips bounced back to knock off Dallas and Utah after losing the first two games of those series and they won’t have Kawhi Leonard as they attempt to even the best-of-seven on Tuesday night.

NBA Playoff Betting June 18, 2021 – Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Clippers
Injuries have been the biggest winner in the NBA playoffs. The next biggest winner could be the Los Angeles Clippers, who can advance past the second round of the postseason for the first time with a win over the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal on Friday.
NBA Playoff Betting June 15, 2021 – Milwaukee Bucks at Brooklyn Nets
This isn’t quite what the Brooklyn Nets envisioned when they swung a deal for James Harden back in January. They immediately became a favorite to win the NBA title with Harden joining Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to form the Big Three. It’s been the big two for all but 43 seconds of the Eastern Conference semifinal with the Milwaukee Bucks. And now for the pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday it’s the big uno.

Somebody once said the series isn’t over until you lose a game at home. The Milwaukee Bucks look to get back into their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Brooklyn Nets when the teams head to Milwaukee for Game 3 on Thursday night. Playing without James Harden for all but 43 seconds of the first two games, the Nets have been nearly flawless holding serve at home to go up 2-0.
NBA Playoff Betting – Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns June 19, 2021
The Denver Nuggets have the NBA’s newest MVP but more than anything they’d like a win in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal with the Phoenix Suns to even the series. The Suns used an explosive second half run to claim the opener 122-105. It was easily the most lopsided game of the season between the clubs with two of three regular season meetings going to overtime and another decided by just three points.
NBA Playoff Betting June 8, 2021 – Los Angeles Clippers at Utah Jazz
If the Los Angeles Clippers are going to make the conference final for the first time in team history they will definitely have earned it. After finishing off the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 in the first round, the Clips will now tangle with No. 1 seed Utah Jazz in a West semifinal.
Bradley Beal Next Team Betting Odds

The Nets survived the opener, 115-107, with Harden leaving the game early with a hamstring problem.
Hawks-76ers Game 1 Playoffs Prop Bets, Mavs-Clippers Elimination
The biggest question going into the series between Atlanta and Philadelphia will be the status of Philadelphia center Joel Embiid, who left Game 4 of the 76ers’ series with the Washington Wizards with a knee injury. Embiid had torn cartilage and didn’t play in Game 5, and his status for the opener of this series is up in the air.

NBA Playoff Betting May 31, 2021 – Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies
