NBA Quick Picks Today For Every Game
New York Knicks @ Boston Celtics (10:00 AM PST)
Spread: Knicks +8 | Total: 231
Pick: Celtics -8
Boston dominates at home, and with the Knicks dealing with key injuries, the Celtics should cover. The Celtics always seem to beat the shit out of the Knicks at home.
Dallas Mavericks @ Golden State Warriors (12:30 PM PST)
Spread: Mavericks +9 | Total: 229
Pick: Mavericks +9
Golden State is the better team, but this number is inflated has enough firepower to keep it within the number. This is a number I’d expect with Irving out and he’s not out.
LA Clippers @ Indiana Pacers (2:00 PM PST)
Spread: Clippers +4 | Total: 230.5
Pick: AVOID
If Kawhi sits, this is a strong play on Indiana. No real read on this game. I’ll pass.
Detroit Pistons @ Atlanta Hawks (3:00 PM PST)
Spread: Hawks +3 | Total: 239
Pick: Hawks +3
With Trae Young in, Atlanta should have the offensive firepower to cover at home, but I’m avoiding this game — these teams are too hard to predict.
Phoenix Suns @ Toronto Raptors (3:00 PM PST)
Spread: Suns +1 | Total: 228
Pick: Suns ML
Toronto is in a rough stretch, and Phoenix has enough talent to get it done on the road. I don’t feel super confident here but the Suns are better. I won’t be betting on them though since they are banned.
Washington Wizards @ Orlando Magic (3:00 PM PST)
Spread: Wizards +13 | Total: 217.5
Pick: Wizards +13
Orlando is a below-average team and doesn’t deserve a double-digit spread against anyone. Wizards should keep it close. It’s not a fun bet to make but it’s been the bet that I have consistently hit this year.
Miami Heat @ Milwaukee Bucks (4:00 PM PST)
Spread: Heat +4.5 | Total: 223.5
Pick: Bucks -4.5
If Giannis and Dame play, Milwaukee should roll. Miami’s inconsistency makes them a tough bet. Giannis and Dame seem like they’re playing but Giannis is on a clear minutes restriction right now. I don’t have a great read here given the minutes restrictions and oddities of this game. I’d avoid.
San Antonio Spurs @ New Orleans Pelicans (4:00 PM PST)
Spread: Spurs +1 | Total: 239.5
Pick: Over 239.5
Both teams play fast, and this has all the makings of a high-scoring game. Hard to get a good read with Spurs not having Wemby and the Pelicans being super inconsistent.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Cleveland Cavaliers (4:30 PM PST)
Spread: Grizzlies +5.5 | Total: 248.5
Pick: Under 248.5
This number is too high. Cleveland plays solid defense against guards, and I expect it to stay under. Memphis really needs to show they can hang with really good teams.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Minnesota Timberwolves (6:30 PM PST)
Spread: Thunder -9.5 | Total: 229
Pick: Timberwolves +9.5
Minnesota is too solid defensively to be catching this many points at home and they did beat up on OKC before the all-star break at home. Minnesota far better as an underdog vs. being favored.

✅ Mavericks +9
✅ Wizards +123
✅ Bucks -4.5
✅ Over 239.5 (Spurs/Pelicans)
