Lakers, Cavs, Knicks produce clutch finishes this week in the NBA - ESPN

03.03.2024 - 23:45 espn.com

The NBA slate this week contained a handful of games that ended in wild fashion. The New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons on Monday after a controversial non-call eventually led to a go-ahead layup from Josh Hart in the final seconds.

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a 10-point comeback in the final four minutes against the Dallas Mavericks, including a barrage of Cavalier 3-point shots from various distances and Max Strus' midcourt winner.

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 21-point deficit in a win over the LA Clippers on Wednesday, when LeBron James outscored the Clippers in the fourth quarter 19 to 16.

Here are how some of the NBA's wildest finishes this week played out: Although nine fouls were issued in the fourth quarter, one that could've potentially saved the game for Detroit wasn't called.

Saturday NBA slate features eight games to choose from. However, I am most interested in the game between the Orlando Magic and the Sacramento Kings. Both teams are battling for seeding in their respective conferences. This is their second and final matchup of the season. Their first game went to double overtime and the Kings won. Two prop bets from that matchup immediately caught my attention, so without further ado, let's dive into Saturday's recommendations.
