Can These Bold Bets Spark Game 3 Turnarounds in Celtics-Knicks and Timberwolves-Warriors Showdowns?

Ah, the thrill of victory—brief and sweet—before the harsh sting of reality sets in. That blazing 11-3 run, crowned by a four-game winning streak just days ago, now feels like a distant dream after a brutal four-game losing skid swept through like a cold front. My so-called “best bets” last Friday? Let’s just say they took a nosedive faster than the Indiana Pacers getting trampled by the Cavs, and the Thunder failing to hold serve as favorites against Denver. But hey, doesn’t every gambler know that the only cure for a slump is to keep rolling (wisely, mind you)? Despite the heartbreak, I’m charging forward—with bias firmly in place, because come playoff time, this New Yorker never bets against his Knicks. This series—with Jalen Brunson lighting it up and Boston’s key players battling injuries and inconsistency—feels like déjà vu with a twist. So, here’s my take: when the Celtics look like the old version of themselves but can’t quite close the deal, maybe the points at The Garden are the smart play after all. Curious why I’m sticking to my guns despite the odds and the media chatter? Then strap in—there’s more to unpack. LEARN MORE.Well, it was fun winning in the 2025 NBA Playoffs while it lasted. An 11-3 run, including a four-game winning streak earlier this week, was ruined by an active four-game losing skid. My “best bets” Friday were 🗑️. The Indiana Pacers got stomped by the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder lost outright as -5.5 favorites to the Denver Nuggets.
