The NBA playoffs are heating up, and Monday night features a doubleheader that every basketball fan needs to see. Whether you're a die-hard follower or just looking to add some excitement to the games, now is the perfect time to get in on the action with a fantastic offer from DraftKings. New users can claim $100 in bonus bets instantly after placing just their first $5 wager—a slam dunk of a deal for anyone ready to dive into postseason betting.
First up, the New York Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers at 8 p.m. ET. The Sixers are riding high after shocking the Boston Celtics in Round 1, but the Knicks are coming off one of the most dominant wins in playoff history—a 140-89 demolition of the Atlanta Hawks. New York won three straight games to close out that series, all by more than 15 points and an average of 32 points. The Knicks have also owned the 76ers lately, going 9-3 against them over the last three regular seasons, with six of those wins coming by eight points or more. According to the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, the Knicks are projected to cover the 7.5-point spread in 60% of simulations.
Then at 9:30 p.m. ET, the San Antonio Spurs take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves pulled off an upset of their own by knocking out the Denver Nuggets in Round 1, but they face a tough challenge on the road. The model sees value in backing Minnesota as 13.5-point underdogs, making this a potential high-reward pick for your betting slip.
If you're looking to combine these insights into one play, a Monday parlay featuring the Knicks to cover and the Timberwolves to cover would pay out at +634 odds at DraftKings. That means a $100 bet could turn into $634 in profit—all while using bonus bets you get just for signing up.
And it's not just NBA action. One of SportsLine's top experts has also locked in MLB best bets for Monday's matchup between the Dodgers and Astros, so there's no shortage of opportunities to put that bonus cash to work.
The SportsLine Projection Model has been on fire this season, entering the second round of the playoffs on a 26-9 roll (74%) on top-rated NBA spread picks. Over the past eight-plus seasons, it has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 bettors on its top-rated picks. That kind of track record makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to make smarter bets.
So don't miss out: place your first $5 wager on any of Monday's games, and DraftKings will instantly credit your account with $100 in bonus bets. It's the perfect way to add some extra excitement to an already thrilling night of sports.
