bet365 Bonus Code ACTION Reveals $200 for NBA & NHL Playoffs in NJ, Colorado, VA & Ohio

The Los Angeles Lakers head into Monday night with a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. They open as a home favorite, but it won’t be easy against a pesky Memphis Grizzlies squad. New customers can earn $200 in bonus bets using the bet365 bonus code ACTION.

New bettors must deposit $10 and wager $1+ on any market at bet365 to access the bonus bets. The first bet must be on a prop with -500 odds or longer (so -499 is OK, -501 is not). No matter the outcome of your first bet, bet365 will credit you with $200 in bonus bets.

This offer is available in Colorado, New Jersey, Ohio, and Virginia. Bettors can wager on any sporting event if they meet the above requirements.

Monday features six playoff games between the NBA & NHL and 11 MLB games. Let’s check out the best way to use your bonus bets.

Betting on the Grizzlies-Lakers at bet365

Following your first $1 bet on a prop with -500 odds or longer, you’ll have $200 in bonus bets. We suggest using your bonus bet on a plus-money prop or longshot. Bonus bets don’t allow you to keep your wager, so this is the best way to maximize your value.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a perfect start to Game 3, leading by nearly 30 points in the second quarter. The Memphis Grizzlies steadily chipped away, but they couldn’t do enough to overcome the deficit. Now, they need a road victory to avoid going down 3-1.

bet365 has the Lakers as a 4.5-point favorite, with the Grizzlies at +170 on the ML. Unfortunately, we need more value for a strong return on investment for our bonus bets. However, we can make an SGP with a pair of player props. Check them out below.

Xavier Tillman o8.5 Rebounds: I liked the Lakers coming into this series because they had such a serious size advantage with Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke missing for Memphis. There’s still a clear advantage there, but the Grizzlies have started to find at least a partial answer, and his name is Xavier Tillman Sr.

Tillman played only 22 minutes in Game 1 but had a monster Game 2 to help lead the Grizzlies to victory in his 32 minutes on the court, then played 39 in Game 3. Over that same stretch, Memphis’s third big man Santi Aldama has dropped from 24 minutes in Game 1 to 14 and then 11 minutes without a real role in this series.

Tillman’s strength and boundless energy has earned him a serious role in this series, and if he’s on the court, he’s going to get rebounds. He had 13 and 12 rebounds these last two games against the Lakers, with nine combined offensive rebounds.

For his career, Tillman is averaging 13.6 points and 9.6 rebounds in 16 games with at least 30 minutes played. He’s had at least nine boards in 12 of those 16, a 75% hit rate on this plus-money line. I’m delighted to get this at plus money.

You might also sprinkle double-double at +350 at FanDuel. The points are not always there for Tillman, but he does have a double-double in six of those 16 games with 30+ minutes, including Game 2. That’s a 37.5% hit rate vs implied 22.2% here. If you prefer just rebounds, you can play 13+ at +750 at DraftKings. Let’s just hope Tillman stays out of foul trouble and keeps banging bodies down low.

D’Angelo Russell Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists: D’Angelo Russell was much maligned after shooting 2-of-11 from the field and scoring just five points in Game 2.

While he shot just 5-of-14 in Game 3, he did score 17 points. Where he really excelled, though, was as a facilitator. Russell had seven assists against just two turnovers.

He also chipped in four rebounds to give him 11 rebounds + assists.

Russell has now hit this line in each of his past four games and in each of his last five games against Memphis. In those five games against Memphis, he is averaging 12.6 rebounds + assists.

The Grizzlies are a good matchup for Russell because they were 21st in rebounds allowed and 26th in assists allowed in the regular season, according to props.cash.

It also helps that Russell is a big guard (6-foot-5) and can help chip in on the glass.

Interestingly enough, Russell has recorded exactly 11 rebounds + assists in all three games in this series. He had four rebounds and seven assists in Games 1 and 3 and seven rebounds and four assists in Game 2.

If you want to sprinkle on something, you may be able to get plus odds on over 10.5 rebounds + assists for Russell. I would take it at +200 or higher.

However, I feel confident that Russell will reach nine to cash this over for us.

Let’s see what happens if we take $100 of our bonus bets and wager on this SGP for +260 odds.

• SGP Hits: We win $260 but don’t keep our $100 bet. We still have $100 in bonus bets remaining.
• SGP Misses: We lose our initial bet but have $100 in bonus bets left.
