BEST BETS: The Gazette’s best picks for today (Wednesday, April 19)

Every day the Gazette sports staff will publish its best bets:
1. Timberwolves at Nuggets (-8.5, -110): The Nuggets should sweep Minnesota, but will they?
2. Heat at Bucks (-8.5, -110): Milwaukee played poorly on ‘D’ in Game 1, still won by double-digits.
3. Lakers (-1.5, +100) at Grizzlies: Bad injuries for Memphis, bad draw for Memphis. Lakers roll.
