Now that the 2025 NBA postseason has begun, the basketball betting market is hotter than ever. CBS Sports will be providing daily picks for the duration of the postseason. Sam Quinn will make at least one pick for every game between now and the NBA Finals.

My recommended Celtics-Magic bet from Game 1 was under 206. Well, we’ve seen one game, and the point total line has dropped by a whopping seven points. It’s at 199 now, and you know what? I’m still going under. If Orlando can only get to 86 points when they shoot 37% on 3s and get 59 total out of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, what happens when the 3s aren’t falling and the stars have an off-night? Orlando, meanwhile, does a better job of running the Celtics off the 3-point line than anyone in the NBA. Boston averaged 48 3-point attempts per game in the regular season but tried only 37 in Game 1 because Orlando is committed to limiting 3s. This is going to be a low-scoring game in a low-scoring series. The Pick: Under 199

Ty Jerome scored 28 points in Game 1. Is that sustainable? No. Does it need to be? No, because the Cavaliers have found a foolproof strategy in this series: just attack Tyler Herro. Jerome hunted him for the bulk of his fourth-quarter scoring explosion in Game 1, and Herro is so essential offensively that the Heat can’t take him off of the floor. If you want to bet Darius Garland’s over (19.5), I wouldn’t oppose that either. Whichever guard Davion Mitchell isn’t defending is going to score in this game. The Pick: Jerome Over 11.5 Points

Stephen Curry scored 31 points in Game 1, but think about how he got them. Three of the 3-pointers he made were downright circus shots. In his two previous games against the Rockets this season, he scored 22 combined points. Yes, Game 1 was ugly for Amen Thompson, but he’s given Curry (and everyone else) trouble all year. He’s going to rally for a better Game 2, and the Warriors will need to diversify a bit offensively in response. The Pick: Curry Under 25.5 Points

Velká pomoc pro městečko u Ženevy. Soupeř Plzně nachystal vstřícné gesto

Městečko u Ženevy, které má zhruba 12 tisíc obyvatel, se těšilo na slavného soupeře. Po losu se sportovní ředitel klubu z Le Grand-Saconnex Valentin Toffoletto vyjádřil k protivníkovi slovy: „Sbohem, finanční starosti!“FC du Grand-Saconnex hraje Promotion League, což je třetí liga a jde o poloprofesionální soutěž. Tým je po deseti kolech s pouhými třemi body předposlední. Ovšem v poháru se mu daří a za odměnu ho čeká jednadvacetinásobný švýcarský mistr.Toffoletto se těšil, že příjmy ze vstupného pomohou klubu, který má finanční problémy.

Schauffele shares lead with Greyserman at Baycurrent Classic

Max Greyserman and Xander Schauffele share the lead after Saturday's third round of the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. In rainy conditions, Greyserman, who is chasing his first PGA Tour title, finished with an even-par 71 with Schauffele carding a 67 at the Yokohama Country Club - both are on 12-under 201. Going into the final round, five players were three strokes back, including defending champion Nico Echavarria (69), Michael Thorbjornsen (66), Byeong Hun An (66), Garrick Higgo (68) and Si Woo Kim (69).However, it's a different story from Schauffele, who could add to his long resume on Sunday which includes two major championships, a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and numerous other PGA Tour titles - although he is winless in the last year.For Schauffele, a win would be particularly sentimental as it's where his mother was raised - a dream […]
