NBA Betting Picks: April 17 Part 2

The NBA regular season might be winding down but things are just getting more exciting in the realm of Australian online sports betting. The playoffs are just around the corner and it’s creating a lot of buzz for Australian online bookmaker.

The playoffs have foreseeable interesting matchups. However, before we head to that, it’s time to cover the betting picks for the last game night of the NBA regular season. The regular season officially ends on April 17 with 15 games to be played. It’s a great way to end the season and a great day for Australian online sports betting.

This is the part 2 of this installment so check out the part 1 for the rest of the matchups and picks.

New Orleans Hornets vs. Dallas Mavericks

It’s an unfortunate season for the Mavs as Dirk Nowitzki had to undergo a surgery before the start of the season and the team wasn’t really able to hold the forth. Even in Dirk’s return, he wasn’t all that effective due to the fact that he is still recovering and far from being in top form. Still, the Mavs played better after the All-star break that they were in discussion of making the playoffs. Well, the playoffs are out of reach now but the Mavs should still be playing with a purpose.  Mavericks win.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio Spurs

The Wolves are a fun team to watch and with a healthier lineup, it’s nice to see Pekovic dominate the paint while Rubio makes his pretty passes. Too bad they didn’t get to be healthy for the early part of the season. The Spurs trying to pick up steam heading to the playoffs should be playing well in this game. Spurs win.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder is just so much better than the Bucks in so many ways. They can shoot consistently and figured out a style of play that gives them the highest chance of winning. Thunder wins.

Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets

The Suns should be tanking this game for a higher chance on the draft lottery while the Nuggets are looking to fine-tune their game in preparation for the playoffs. Nuggets win.

Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers need this win more and I can see Dwight Howard stepping up here. Lakers win.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Sacramento Kings

Kings are playing for nothing and Clippers are playing for everything. Clippers win.

Golden State Warriors vs. Portland Trail Blazers

This is a great tune-up game for the Warriors before the playoffs. Warriors win.
