Best bets on Tuesday, May 5

The Thunder are the reigning champs, and they looked the part with a dominant four-game sweep of the Phoenix Suns in the first round. The Lakers, even while missing Luka Doncic for the entire series and being without Austin Reaves for most of it, took down the Houston Rockets in six games to advance to the second round. Doncic remains out for Game 1. The two Western Conference rivals square off in Game 1 Tuesday night, with the No. 1 seed Thunder playing host. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, thinks the Lakers will cover the wide spread of 15.5 points, as they cover in 53% of simulations. 

Game 1 between the Avalanche and Wild was, well, wild. The two Central Division foes combined for a whopping 15 goals as the Avs won 9-6. Colorado was the top team in the league in the regular season, leading the NHL in both goals scored and goals against. It's a good sign for Minnesota that it had so much success offensively, but the Wild will need to bounce back defensively in Game 2 in order to stay competitive. The Wild win in 40% of the SportsLine model's simulations, returning value at current money line odds. Bet on Lakers vs. Thunder, Wild vs. Avalanche and more at BetMGM using the promo code CBSSPORTS to get your bonus bets:
