With just two NBA games on Monday, April 7, there are still plenty of chances to capitalize on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here’s the full NBA schedule for April 7 (all times Eastern):
- Kings at Pistons, 7 p.m.
- Heat at 76ers, 7:30 p.m.
Kings +6.5 (-108)
The Kings will look to finish their road trip strong after back-to-back wins, including a 120-113 victory over the Cavaliers on Sunday. Zach LaVine scored 37 points, leading a balanced offensive attack alongside DeMar DeRozan (28 points) and Domantas Sabonis (27 points). Despite missing Keegan Murray and Jake LaRavia due to injury, the Kings shot 53.7% from the field and dominated with 37 points off turnovers.
Detroit is coming off a loss to the Grizzlies. Although Cade Cunningham returned after a calf injury and scored 25 points, the Pistons could be without Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren, both listed as questionable. The Pistons are still strong, but Sacramento’s recent form and Detroit’s injuries give the Kings a good shot at covering the +6.5 spread.
Heat -13 (-112)
The Heat will try to bounce back from consecutive losses, including a 121-115 overtime defeat to the Bucks on Saturday. Miami has been locked into the Play-In Tournament, but it’s still fighting for better positioning. Meanwhile, the 76ers are focused on best positioning their outlook for the NBA Draft.
Philadelphia is on an 11-game losing streak and has struggled without key players like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. Miami, led by Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, should be able to dominate a depleted 76ers squad. With Philadelphia’s defensive struggles, Miami should cover the -13 spread with ease.
Bam Adebayo Over 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Bam Adebayo has averaged 26.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in his last four games. He’s elevated his scoring production, which should help if he sustains that impact. With Philadelphia undersized in the frontcourt, Adebayo should easily exceed the 35.5 points, rebounds and assists prop. He will likely have a significant offensive and defensive impact in this one. The 76ers don’t even have their top small-ball center option with Guerschon Yabusele ruled out for personal reasons.
Zach LaVine Over 20.5 Points (-115)
Zach LaVine has been in superb form lately, especially after his 37-point performance in the win over Cleveland. He poured in that many points without even attempting a free throw. Over his last two games, he has averaged 31.0 points, showing off his dynamic shooting ability with excellent efficiency. Against Detroit’s defense, which could be weakened without Jalen Duren, LaVine should surpass the 20.5-point mark. Remember, he’s averaged 21.6 points per game since being traded.
Quentin Grimes Over 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)
Grimes has been one of the bright spots for the 76ers during a tough season. He’s averaged 26.5 points, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his last 17 games. With the Sixers struggling with injuries, Grimes has taken on a more significant role, and he’s been stepping up his performance, including a 17-point effort in the fourth quarter during their loss to Minnesota. Grimes is playing confidently and should continue to contribute in multiple areas, making the Over on 32.5 points + rebounds + assists a solid pick.
