NBA 2024/25 Multi bet of the Weekend | May 4

With just one matchup on the docket today, we’re bringing you a Same Game Multi. Denver hosts the Clippers in game seven, and Norman Powell has been shaky on the road, so we’re picking him to go under 16.5 points. Kawhi Leonard’s game travels however, so we like him for 20 or more points. From the home team Nuggets, there’s no pick but Jokic as we back him for 8+ assists.

The Los Angeles Clippers are back in Denver for game seven against the Nuggets in large part due to an impressive showing from Norman Powell in game six. The swingman went off for 24 points on 9/15 shooting in the victory.

That said, Powell has been a completely different player on the road compared to at home this postseason. In the three games played in LA, he has scored 20, 22, and 24 points, while shooting over 50% from the floor. In Denver however, he has struggled. Powell has scored just 12, 13, and 12 points in the three games at altitude in this series.

Role players tend to have a difficult time translating their game to hostile environments, and this has certainly been true for Powell. Because of this, we’re going to take him to go under 16.5 points at $1.95 on Betfocus.

Kawhi Leonard will likely need to have a big showing if he wants his side to advance to round two. He has been excellent this whole series, and Denver has yet to find an answer for his deadly mid-range pull up game.

Kawhi has proven that he is back to his very best, averaging 25.5 PPG on an impressive 54.5% field goal percentage in the first six games of the series. He hasn’t scored below 20 in any game this series and has hit or exceeded that mark in 21 straight games dating back to the regular season. In terms of NBA tips, taking a safe pick and tacking it onto a multi-bet is almost always a solid decision. That’s what we’re doing here, picking Kawhi to score 20 or more at $1.17 on Betfocus.

Nikola Jokic and co. have returned home to Denver looking to win game seven and clinch a second round berth. To do so, the three time MVP will have to be at his very best, scoring at a high clip and involving his teammates, as he always does.

Jokic is averaging 10.5 assists per game in this series, and when playing in front of his home crowd, that number jumps slightly higher to 11.3. NBA betting sites are offering solid value for Jokic 8+ assists. Betfocus has it at $1.35, which is a good number given his history. In his last 15 games, Jokic has dipped below 8 assists just twice, both in games in which he played just 30 minutes. Given the consistency with which Jokic hits the eight assist mark, we love this pick.
