I’m going to send out a separate email for premium subscribers only that will give out all my favorite bets for the day, and you know as a PREMIUM sub you now get access to the Discord (live bets, thoughts, tons of other picks for every single sport, & access to other smart bettors who are crushing it!).
Get in on the action… 💰
A lot of you ask me about what books to use. It really depends where you live. I would check out BetUS for NBA betting. I’ve been getting some good lines there. They’ve been around since the ‘90s and one of the only two offshore books that I actually trust. If you live in a state that does not allow apps, this is how you can get in on the action!
🏀NBA Picks & Analysis Today - Tuesday, April 1st
Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks
Spread: 76ers +14.5 (-110) | Knicks -14.5 (-110)
Total: 222.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: 76ers +700 | Knicks -1200
Time: 4:30 PM ET
Analysis: The 76ers are straight up tanking. The Knicks, despite injuries to Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride, and Cam Payne, have seen strong contributions from Delon Wright and Landry Shamet, so they’re growing their depth a little bit. Knicks should destroy Philly.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Knicks -14.5 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Under 222.0 (-110)
Player Props: Justin Edwards - Over 13.5 Points, KAT - Over 24.5 Points
Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Spread: Suns +6.0 (-110) | Bucks -6.0 (-110)
Total: 224.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Suns +195 | Bucks -235
Time: 4:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Suns are struggling, having been outscored by an average of 28 points over their last three games. They're missing key players Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant due to injuries. The Bucks, with a 40-34 record and not playing that great lately after coming out hot from the All-Star break. Gotta think the Bucks get it together here at home.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Bucks -6.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Over 224.0 (-110)
Player Props: Devin Booker - Over 27.5 Points, Giannis - Over 29.5 Points, Ryan Dunn - Over 9.5 Points
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Atlanta Hawks
Spread: Trail Blazers +5.0 (-110) | Hawks -5.0 (-110)
Total: 237.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Trail Blazers +170 | Hawks -200
Time: 4:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Trail Blazers are dealing with injuries, with Jerami Grant listed as doubtful and Anfernee Simons questionable. The Hawks' Trae Young is probable despite right Achilles tendinitis. Atlanta's offensive firepower gives them an edge, especially at home, where they always seem to handle inferior teams.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Hawks -5.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Over 237.0 (-110)
Player Props: Shaedon Sharpe - Under 21.5 Points, Toumani Camara - Over 13.5 Points
Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies
Spread: Warriors -5.0 (-110) | Grizzlies +5.0 (-110)
Total: 236.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Warriors -200 | Grizzlies +170
Time: 5:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga is questionable and Gary Payton II remains out with a thumb injury. The Grizzlies have a strong home record but they’ve had a tough time lately and coming off a B2B loss to the Celtics. I think the Grizz might hang in this one so I like getting 5 points here if they can step up and have some damn pride on defense.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Grizzlies +5.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Under 236.5 (-110)
Player Props: Staying away from this one. Feels too unpredictable, but could be very high scoring so go with overs.
Orlando Magic vs. San Antonio Spurs
Spread: Magic -4.0 (-110) | Spurs +4.0 (-110)
Total: 217.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Magic -170 | Spurs +145
Time: 5:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Magic are the more consistent side here and should be able to slow the Spurs down. San Antonio is prone to big blowouts right now. I expect the Magic to take care of business but the spread is pretty tight, so this is a potential trap game.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Magic -4.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Over 217.5 (-110)
Player Props: Paulo Banchero - Under 7.5 Rebounds
Toronto Raptors vs. Chicago Bulls
Spread: Raptors +5.0 (-110) | Bulls -5.0 (-110)
Total: 236.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Raptors +165 | Bulls -195
Time: 5:00 PM ET
Analysis: Both teams have struggled defensively, leading to high-scoring games. The Bulls' offense has been pretty hot except for when they played the Thunder and took a massive beatdown. Expecting the Bulls to bounce back here — they did get some rest in that 4th quarter since it was a blowout.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Bulls -5.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Over 236.0 (-110)
Player Props: Josh Giddey - Over 35.5 PRA, Coby White - Over 24.5 Points, Jacob Poeltl - Over 8.5 Rebounds
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets
Spread: Timberwolves +2.5 (-115) | Nuggets -2.5 (-105)
Total: 232.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Timberwolves +120 | Nuggets -140
Time: 7:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Nuggets' Nikola Jokic is probable despite an ankle issue, while Jamal Murray is questionable. The Timberwolves are playing good lately — this should be a tight game in Denver but I like defense over offense in this one.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Timberwolves +2.5
Over/Under Bet: Over 232.0 (-110)
Player Props:
