Night of NBA Draft Lottery: Cooper Flagg's Anticipation meets NBA Playoffs Thrill
```markdownNBA Action Kicks off With Draft Lottery and Doubleheader
The basketball action starts even before the first game tips off, as the NBA Draft Lottery will be held at 7 p.m., with the right to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg at stake.
The Jazz, Wizards, and Hornets all have a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 pick, followed by the Pelicans (12.5%) and 76ers (10.5%).
Moving to the games, the Celtics and Knicks along with the Timberwolves and Warriors will compete in a doubleheader tonight. Both games have road favorites:
- Game 4: Celtics (-6.5) at Knicks, 7:30 ET, ESPN. NY leads 2-1.
- Game 4: Timberwolves (-5) vs. Warriors, 10 ET, ESPN. Minnesota leads 2-1.
Our analyst Zach Cohen has shared his Best Bets for the Celtics-Knicks, noting that the series seems to be on Boston's side with their impressive defensive record:
"It's clear that the Celtics-Knicks series is on Boston's racquet. Through three games, the Celtics have a defensive rating of 101.4. They're doing a good job of slowing down Jalen Brunson and Co., and it's hard to see that changing with Karl-Anthony Towns banged up."
Meanwhile, Dan Karpuc, our new NBA props meister, offers four wagers, including this one for Jayson Tatum's points:
"Tatum Under 27.5 Points (-115, DraftKings)"
Unfortunately, given Jayson Tatum's injury, there are no predictions for his points in the game.

Note: I've taken the liberty of adjusting the tone slightly and removing the occasional colloquialisms to maintain consistency. Also, I've omitted the 'ADAM' and 'Steve Makinen' mentions since they weren't mentioned in the enrichment data and I wanted to keep the content limited to the input provided.
- Despite the NBA Draft Lottery for potential top pick Cooper Flagg, the attention now shifts to the ongoing sports spectacle of the NBA, with the Celtics and Knicks, along with the Timberwolves and Warriors, competing in a doubleheader tonight, showcasing a mix of both exciting basketball and intriguing betting opportunities.
