NBA Picks for the 2025-26 Season:
NBA Picks for Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2025
Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls.
Line: Bulls by 2.5.
8:00 PM ET
We’ve gotten burned by two East Coast teams losing to West Coast teams thus far, so we’ve learned our lesson. In fact, in all four games we’ve picked thus far, the West Coast team has covered. We’re going to ride the trend with the Clippers, who are available at a discount because Kawhi Leonard is sidelined. Even without Leonard, however, the Clippers are still the better team in this matchup.
Player Prop: The Bulls are woeful against centers. We’re going to play Ivica Zubac tonight. The best line for him is over 15.5 points -124 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
Alt Line: The best values are Clippers -6.5 +270 or -8.5 +350. We’ll go with the bigger payout.
I may post another pick later or add a unit to this game. If so, I’ll tweet it out. I’ll have updates on Twitter – @walterfootball.

NBA Picks for Monday, Jan. 19, 2025 (0-2, -$355)
Miami Heat at Golden State Warriors.
Line: Warriors by 4.5.
10:00 PM ET
The Warriors have won seven of their previous 10 games, but most of their victories have come against lower-end competition or injured teams. They’re going to have a tough battle against the Heat, who beat the Thunder recently.
Player Prop: Bam Adebayo has a great matchup against a Warriors team that struggles against centers. The best number for points + rebounds is 28.5 -106 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
Alt Line: FanDuel has a pair of 25-percent boosts, up to $25. We’ll use those on the alt line.
NBA Pick: Heat +4.5 +106 (2 Units to win 2.12) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$200
Player Prop: Bam Adebayo over 28.5 points + rebounds -106 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$105
Alt Line: Heat -6.5 +440 (0.5 Units to win 2.2) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$50
NBA Picks for Friday, Jan. 16, 2025 (1-0, +$125)
Washington Bullets at Sacramento Kings.
Line: Kings by 8.5.
10:10 PM ET
The Bullets have been destroyed in every game since trading C.J. McCollum. That should continue against the Kings, who are hot.
Player Prop: No player prop in this game because it’s likely to be a blowout. However, I’m going to bet the alt line instead. We’re going with Kings -18.5 +340. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Kings -8.5 +112 (2 Units to win 2.24) – FanDuel — Correct; +$225
Alt Line: Kings -18.5 +340 (1 Unit to win 3.4) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$100
NBA Picks for Thursday, Jan. 15, 2025 (0-1, -$300)
New York Knicks at Golden State Warriors.
Line: Warriors by 5.5.
10:10 PM ET
We faded the Knicks last night, thinking that they’d save some juice for this game. We’ll come back with a bet on them tonight. This spread is mispriced because it’s factoring in the back-to-back, but the Knicks starters didn’t even play the full game last night. FanDuel and DraftKings has some profit boosts we’ll utilize for this game.
Player Prop: No player prop in this game because some questionable players are making it difficult to predict player stats. However, I’m going to bet the alt line instead. We’re going with Knicks -5.5 +340. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Knicks +5.5 +106 (1.5 Units to win 1.59) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$100
Knicks +5.5 +138 (0.5 Units to win 0.69) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$50
Knicks -5.5 +340 (1 Unit to win 3.4) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$100
NBA Picks for Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2025 (2-0, +$335)
New York Knicks at Sacramento Kings.
Line: Knicks by 9.5.
10:10 PM ET
Our NBA picks are back. We’re looking to bet the Kings tonight, as they’ve played better basketball lately. The Knicks, meanwhile, could be unfocused with a tougher game on the horizon. FanDuel and DraftKings has some profit boosts we’ll utilize for this game.
Player Prop: Zach LaVine has the best matchup for the Kings. The best number is over 19.5 points -125 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Kings +9.5 +114 (1.25 Units to win 1.45) – DraftKings — Correct; +$145
Kings +10.5 +123 (0.5 Units to win 0.61) – FanDuel — Correct; +$60
Kings +10.5 +124 (0.25 Units to win 0.31) – DraftKings — Correct; +$30
