Best bets today: Celtics-Knicks among SportsLine's top plays for NBA, MLB, NHL for May 10

A couple teams look to rally from 2-0 deficits in their second-round series, as we check out what Saturday's top plays are at SportsLine

ByUpdated: May 10, 2025 3:06PM UTC . 5 min read

Home court or home ice hasn't been that big of an advantage in the second round of the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Boston Celtics and Vegas Golden Knights will each be looking to follow in the Cleveland Cavaliers' footsteps on Friday night—win Game 3 on the road Saturday after dropping the first two contests of the series at home.

We highlight the top betting opportunities with links to full game analysis and picks throughout the article while providing the top betting tips for today's matchups.

There is also a link to the best sportsbook promotion today from DraftKings. At DraftKings, new users can earn $200 in bonus bets after placing a first wager of at least $5. We'll explain the promotion more below, and make sure to also check out all the best betting apps and top sportsbook promos. 

Best NBA bets today

Boston Celtics (-5.5, 206.5) at New York Knicks: 3:30 p.m. ET

The Knicks were the first team in NBA playoff history to pull off back-to-back wins after trailing by 20 points in each game. After stealing the first two in Boston, New York will be playing in front of a fired-up Madison Square Garden crowd on Saturday afternoon. 

Even with a 2-0 deficit and having to play three road games at MSG, the Celtics still find themselves as the -125 series favorite at DraftKings, compared to the Knicks sitting at +105. After all, Boston made only 25 of its 100 3-point attempts in Games 1 and 2, and lost those showdowns by a combined four points.

The Celtics have won five of their last six games at MSG, though all of those contests have come in the regular season. 

Best NHL bets today

Vegas Golden Knights at Edmonton Oilers (-130, 6.5): 9 p.m. ET

The Oilers have been on fire with a six-game winning streak, including several comebacks when they've trailed in the third period. In Game 2 of this series, they actually blew a two-goal lead in the final period, but Leon Draisaitl gave Edmonton a 2-0 series lead with the game-winning goal in overtime. Now the Oilers find themselves as the Stanley Cup favorites at DraftKings at +330. 

A total of 6.5 may seem high for a Stanley Cup Playoff clash, but there has been lots of scoring in Oilers games this postseason. Six of their eight games have had at least seven goals, with four of them reaching nine goals. For the Golden Knights, Game 2's 5-4 defeat was their highest-scoring game this postseason, but four of their eight games have ended up with at least seven goals. 

Best MLB bets today

Los Angeles Dodgers (-120, 9.5) at Arizona Diamondbacks: 8:10 p.m. ET

The Diamondbacks were just three outs away from taking the first two of a four-game series against the World Series favorite Dodgers. Instead, an 11-8 lead turned into a 14-11 loss after a six-run Dodgers rally in the ninth, headlined by a go-ahead 3-run homer by Shohei Ohtani. 

Arizona will be sending out Corbin Burnes on Saturday night, who just picked up his first victory in a Diamondbacks uniform in his last outing against the New York Mets. The Dodgers will be countering with Dustin May, who has gone 1-2 with a 4.36 ERA so far this campaign. One thing to keep in mind with these two NL West rivals is that 10 of their last 12 matchups have gone Over the total.
