It’s going to be a busy week in the world of sports as both the NBA and NHL are in the middle of their playoffs. There is also a full week of MLB baseball set to take place, but the most drama will come from postseason action. With so many sporting events set to take place, you will also find some great betting options and opportunities. Here is a look at the top sports bets this week when taking a look at many different sporting events.
Golden State Warriors ML vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Since the NBA Playoffs are still underway, you will need to include some bets from that sports in the top sports bets this week. One of the most intriguing playoff matchups is taking place in the Western Conference as the Golden State Warriors are battling it out with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers currently have a 2-1 series lead, but you shouldn’t expect them to roll through this series. Golden State is a team that has plenty of championship experience, and the players on that roster know how to respond.
The Los Angeles Lakers are three-point betting favorites on Monday night, but you shouldn’t even be looking at the spread at all in this one. Golden State is the better team, and they are going to find a way to play well in this NBA matchup.
- Take Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors to win in Game 4 on Monday night.
Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets -5.0
The other playoff series in the Western Conference should also be included in the best bets this week, as it’s a series that has been extremely competitive. The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets are all tied up at two wins apiece heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night.
Game 5 is set to take place in Denver, and home-court advantage has mattered in this matchup up to this point. Home teams have won each of the first four games, and that should be the case again in this matchup.
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets can’t afford to lose this matchup at home, and they will be locked in for this matchup. Phoenix has been able to play well over the last few days, but they haven’t proven that they can win on the road.
- Take the Denver Nuggets -5.0, as they will win this game and cover the spread on Tuesday night.
Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers -1.5
With so many big NHL games set to take place, you will be able to include some hockey games in the best weekend bets. One of the best series is taking place in the Western Conference between the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers.
This series is tied at 1-1, and Game 3 is set to take place on the NHL schedule this Wednesday night. Life in Edmonton has been rough for visitors all season long, and the Oilers are going to be ready to put on a show in this game.
Vegas is a solid team as well, but they just aren’t going to have an easy time on Wednesday night when facing the Edmonton Oilers.
- This is a great opportunity to win some big money by taking the puck line and backing the Edmonton Oilers at -1.5 in this matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Toronto Maple Leafs -125 vs. Florida Panthers
There is another NHL game to include in the top sports bets this week, and it’s a game that many did not expect to be happening. The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to take on the Florida Panthers, and they must win, or their season is over.
Toronto entered this series as a big betting favorite, but they just haven’t been able to score goals on Florida. This is why it can sometimes be tough to bet on sports because a team like the Florida Panthers is just doing everything right.
The Maple Leafs are too good of a team to get swept though, and they should let out plenty of frustration on Tuesday night.
- Bet on Toronto -1.5 to head into Florida and pick up a convincing win over the Florida Panthers in Game 4.
