TST Best Bets: April 21, 2026
#28 F Rui Hachimura of the Los Angeles Lakers makes a pass during an NBA game against the Portland Trailblazers on October 27, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA. The playoff debut of Victor Wembanyama was galvanizing for San Antonio Spurs fans, captivating for neutral fans and absolutely terrifying for fans of other Western Conference contenders. The unanimous Defensive Player of the Year in his third season lit up the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1, scoring 35 points while going 5-for-6 from the three-point line and being his usual dominant self on the defensive end.
The Trail Blazers will look to have a better answer for the Frenchman on Tuesday night, as they hope to avoid going back to Portland 0-2 in the series. In the nightcap, all eyes are on the availability of Kevin Durant, who was a surprising late scratch in game one of the Los Angeles Lakers – Houston Rockets series. The Houston offense was absolutely rudderless without its best player, while LA found a savior in Luke Kennard, who scored 27 as the Lakers found a way to go up 1-0 despite missing two of their top three players.
After two absolute classics between the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks and the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, tonight’s slate promises to keep up the thrilling non-stop action we’ve seen thus far this NBA Playoffs.
