NBA Best Picks Today - Wednesday, February 5th 🏀

Hey everyone! I’m exploring ways to get you access to all my picks and still do the deep dive into the data and analysis. I had a good call with Dub Club today and like what they’re doing, so some of the picks might move onto their platform next week. The benefit of that is I can send you alerts and info in real-time. For example, I often do live bets to hedge or I make last minute changes. None of that can really be sent out in a timely way via email so I’m exploring better ways to get those picks out.

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Hornets’ offense is one of the worst in the league, ranking 28th in scoring (107.0 PPG) and 30th in field goal percentage (43.0%). Meanwhile, the Bucks rank 12th in scoring (113.9 PPG) and are second-best in three-point shooting (38.7%).

Time: 4:00 PM ET
Spread: Spurs -5 (-105) | Hawks +5 (-115)
Moneyline: Spurs -180 | Hawks +155
Total: O/U 243.0 (-110)

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Spurs head into this game after back-to-back losses, but they just acquired De'Aaron Fox, which could provide an instant boost alongside Victor Wembanyama. Meanwhile, the Hawks have struggled, losing eight of their last ten games, and have been poor defensively (119.0 PPG allowed, 28th in the NBA).

San Antonio has been strong in assists (7th in the NBA) and leads the league in assists per field goal made (0.705), while the Hawks rank 25th in opponent assists per game (28.5). This could allow Wembanyama and Devin Vassell to thrive.

Atlanta just snapped an 8-game losing streak with a win against the Pistons, but their interior defense remains weak, allowing 49.9 points in the paint per game (24th in the NBA).

San Antonio won the previous meeting 133-126 in OT, and with Fox now in the mix, they could control the tempo against Atlanta’s weak defense.

Betting Trends & Key Stats

San Antonio Spurs:

✅ Covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 games vs. Atlanta
✅ Spurs are 6-1 ATS with 2-3 days off (85.7% cover rate)
✅ Fox should give a major offensive boost to a team already ranking 7th in assists per game (28.6).
❌ Struggling on the road (7-13 record).

Atlanta Hawks:

✅ Covered in 6 of their last 9 games as home underdogs.
✅ **Atlanta is 2nd in steals per game (10.3), which could help disrupt Fox early.
❌ Have allowed 130+ points in 3 straight games.
❌ Without key defensive piece Jalen Johnson, and Clint Capela is questionable.

Best Bets & Predictions

1. Spurs -5 (-105)

2. Under 243.0 (-110)

3. Victor Wembanyama Over 23.5 Points (-120)

4. Trae Young Over 10.5 Assists (-133)

Final Score Prediction:

🏀 San Antonio Spurs 123 - Atlanta Hawks 114

Best Bets Recap:

✅ Spurs -5 (-105)
✅ Under 243.0 (-110)
✅ Wembanyama Over 23.5 Points (-120)
✅ Trae Young Over 10.5 Assists (-133)

The Hawks are still a mess defensively, and the addition of De'Aaron Fox should help the Spurs take control early. Expect Wembanyama to dominate inside and the game to stay under the total. 🚀

Spread: Grizzlies -9.5 (-110) | Raptors +9.5 (-110)
Moneyline: Grizzlies -440 | Raptors +330
Total: O/U 238.0 (-115)

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Memphis Grizzlies enter this game red hot, winning 9 of their last 10 games, including a dominant 128-109 win over the Spurs. They are currently the #1 scoring team in the NBA (123.5 PPG) and are 2nd in rebounding (56.9 RPG). They also destroyed Toronto 155-126 in their last meeting on December 26.

The Toronto Raptors are on the second night of a back-to-back after facing the Knicks on Tuesday. They are just 2-6 on back-to-backs this season and could be without RJ Barrett (concussion protocol). If Barrett is out, that leaves a significant scoring void for a team already struggling offensively (18th in PPG, 28th in FT%).

Memphis' elite interior scoring (2nd in PPG in the paint, 56.4) should expose a Toronto defense allowing 49.0 PPG in the paint (22nd).

Betting Trends & Key Stats

Memphis Grizzlies:

✅ 9-1 in their last 10 games, covering 66% of spreads this season (33-17 ATS).
✅ #1 offense in the NBA (123.5 PPG) & 2nd in rebounds (56.9 RPG).
✅ Won the last two matchups vs. Toronto, including a 29-point blowout earlier this season.
✅ 11-1 ATS with a rest disadvantage.
✅ 78.9% ATS in non-conference games.

Toronto Raptors:

✅ 7-3 in their last 10 games but struggled on back-to-backs (2-6).
✅ Covered in 72.7% of games as a home underdog this season.
❌ RJ Barrett (leading scorer) is questionable with a concussion.
❌ Ranked 28th in free-throw percentage (74.7%) and 29th in made threes per game.
❌ Allowed 155 points to Memphis in their last matchup.

Best Bets & Predictions

1. Grizzlies -9.5 (-110)

2. Under 238.0 (-110)

3. Ja Morant Under 22.5 Points (-118)

4. Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 24.5 Points (-112)

🏀 Memphis Grizzlies 120 - Toronto Raptors 110

Best Bets Recap:

✅ Grizzlies -9.5 (-110)
✅ Under 238.0 (-110)
✅ Ja Morant Under 22.5 Points (-118)
✅ Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 24.5 Points (-112)

Memphis is simply the better team here, and with Toronto on a back-to-back and possibly missing RJ Barrett, expect the Grizzlies to dominate inside and secure a convincing win. 🚀

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Brooklyn Nets (26-23-1 ATS) host the Washington Wizards (19-28-2 ATS) in a battle between two struggling offenses. The Wizards rank 27th in scoring (107.3 PPG) while allowing the most points per game in the NBA (121.7 PPG, ranked 30th). The Nets are 29th in scoring (105.4 PPG) but have a top-12 defense (112.1 OPPG, ranked 12th).

Brooklyn has dominated this matchup, winning 7 of the last 10 meetings, including a 122-119 (OT) win earlier this season. The Wizards have won just 2 of their last 10 games, while the Nets have won 3 straight.

The Wizards recently traded Kyle Kuzma for Khris Middleton, but Middleton is unlikely to play tonight. This leaves Jordan Poole as Washington’s primary scoring option, but he has struggled with inconsistency.

Best Bets Recap:

Brooklyn should control the pace of this game with their defense and slow tempo, leading to another low-scoring game where they secure a close win at home. 🚀

Time: 4:30 PM ET
Spread: 76ers -1 (-108) | Heat +1 (-112)
Moneyline: 76ers -110 | Heat -106
Total: O/U 220.0 (-110)

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Miami Heat (20-28 ATS) take on the Philadelphia 76ers (19-28-2 ATS) in a tight matchup missing its two biggest stars: Jimmy Butler (trade speculation/suspension) and Joel Embiid (resting). This leaves Tyrese Maxey and Tyler Herro as the primary offensive options for each team.

Both squads have been trending towards the Over, with Philadelphia hitting the Over in four of its last five games and both teams combining to go 16-6 to the Over since mid-January.

The Heat won the last matchup 106-89 on January 14, 2025, but that was with a different lineup. The 76ers have struggled defensively in the absence of Embiid, ranking 23rd in defensive rating (115.9) over the last 19 games.

Betting Trends & Key Stats

Miami Heat:

✅ Covered the Over in 8 of their last 10 games.
✅ Hit the Over in 14 of their last 20 games.
✅ Rank 7th in three-pointers made per game (14.3 3PM).
❌ Struggle on the road (9-16 ATS as an away team).
❌ Rank last in blocks per game (3.8).

Philadelphia 76ers:

✅ Hit the Over in 9 of their last 10 home games.
✅ Rank 5th in steals per game (9.3), forcing turnovers.
✅ Tyrese Maxey is averaging 34.1 PPG over his last 9 games.
❌ Have covered just 40.4% of their games ATS.
❌ Rank 30th in defensive effective FG% (57.0%).

Best Bets & Predictions

1. Over 220.0 (-110)

2. Tyrese Maxey Over 30.5 Points (-103)

3. Miami Heat +1 (-112)

Final Score Prediction:

🏀 Miami Heat 112 - Philadelphia 76ers 110

Best Bets Recap:

✅ Over 220.0 (-110)
✅ Tyrese Maxey Over 30.5 Points (-103)
✅ Miami Heat +1 (-112)

With no Embiid and Butler, expect a fast-paced, high-scoring game where Maxey and Herro shine, but Miami’s three-point shooting gives them the edge late. 🚀

Spread: Timberwolves -12 (-105) | Bulls +12 (-115)
Moneyline: Timberwolves -625 | Bulls +430
Total: O/U 226.0 (-110)

Game Overview & Key Matchups

The Chicago Bulls (23-26-2 ATS) take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (26-21 ATS) in a matchup between one of the NBA's most dynamic offenses and one of its top defenses.

Chicago boasts the 6th-best scoring offense (116.8 PPG) but has a bottom-tier defense (29th in opponent PPG at 120.0). Minnesota, on the other hand, ranks 4th in opponent PPG (108.0) and is known for its defensive intensity, led by Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels.

A major storyline is Zach LaVine’s departure to Sacramento, which means Coby White takes on a bigger offensive role for Chicago.

Betting Trends & Key Stats

Chicago Bulls:

✅ Covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 road games.
✅ Top 3-point shooting team (37.4% from deep, 7th in NBA).
✅ Averaging 31.3 PPG in the 3rd quarter (2nd in the NBA).
❌ Only 33.3% ATS in non-conference games.

✅ Rank 4th in defense (108.0 OPP PPG).
✅ 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games.
✅ Covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 games at home.
❌ Struggled ATS as double-digit favorites (only 50%).
❌ Lost outright as heavy favorites to Sacramento last game.

Best Bets & Predictions

1. Coby White Over 19.5 Points (-115 at Bet365)

2. Bulls First Half +6.5 (-110 at Bet365)

3. Timberwolves -11.5 (-106 at DraftKings)

Final Score Prediction:

🏀 Minnesota Timberwolves 118 - Chicago Bulls 104

Best Bets Recap:

✅ Coby White Over 19.5 Points (-115)
✅ Bulls First Half +6.5 (-110)
✅ Timberwolves -11.5 (-106)

Chicago will start strong behind Coby White’s scoring, but Minnesota’s elite defense and depth will take over late. The Wolves cover the spread, but the Bulls keep it close early. 🚀
