NBA Picks for Sunday, April 6, 2025 (1-0, +$205)
Milwaukee Bucks at New Orleans Pelicans.
Line: Bucks by 7.5.
7:00 PM ET
The Bucks are coming off a tough overtime win yesterday against the Heat. It’s going to be tough for them to muster lots of energy on no rest versus the Pelicans, who have been a covering machine lately. New Orleans is 5-1 against the spread in its previous six games.
Player Prop: I’ve mentioned this many times, but the Bucks are very weak to point guards. Jose Alvarado looks great tonight. The best number is over 14.5 points -128 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.

NBA Picks for Saturday, April 5, 2025 (0-2, -$305)
Minnesota Timberwolves at Philadelphia 76ers.
Line: Timberwolves by 17.
7:00 PM ET
This is similar to yesterday’s pick. The 76ers are a complete disaster with lots of injuries. They’ve lost and failed to cover their previous nine games, and yet only three of those contests were against winning teams. And of those three winning teams, two (Knicks, Bucks) are dealing with a significant injury. The 76ers also have incentive to lose because their draft pick is top-six protected.
Player Prop: The 76ers are atrocious at defending power forwards, surrendering tons of points and rebounds to them. Julius Randle should have a big game as a result. The best number is over 24.5 points + rebounds -105 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Timberwolves -17 +104 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Incorrect; -$200
NBA Player Prop: Julius Randle over 24.5 points + rebounds -105 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Incorrect; -$105
NBA Picks for Friday, April 4, 2025 (1-1, +$80)
Utah Jazz at Indiana Pacers.
Line: Pacers by 17.
7:00 PM ET
This may seem like a high line, but I don’t think it’s high enough. Utah’s inactive list is longer than a CVS receipt. Eight Jazz players are out, and it’s clear that the team is tanking. Here’s how much they’ve lost by against their previous six opponents with winning records: 38, 36, 11, 29, 22, 26.
Player Prop: The Jazz have the worst defense in the NBA. They are at their worst when trying to defend point guards, whether it’s through points or assists. Tyrese Haliburton should have a huge game. The best number is over 29.5 points + assists -128 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Pacers -17 +104 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$210
NBA Player Prop: Tyrese Haliburton over 29.5 points + assists -128 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$130
NBA Picks for Thursday, April 3, 2025 (1-1, -$100)
Memphis Grizzlies at Miami Heat.
Line: Grizzlies by 6.
7:30 PM ET
The Heat are on fire, while the Grizzlies have dropped four in a row. However, Memphis has battled four of the better teams in the league during their losing streak, while Miami is coming off a huge upset victory over Boston last night. The Grizzlies are fighting for the sixth seed, so I believe they’ll have much more energy for this game.
Player Prop: Ja Morant has been on a scoring rampage recently, so I’m surprised to see his point total prop so low compared to his recent results. Miami surrenders lots of threes to point guards, so Morant should have a great game. The best number is over 24.5 points -102 at FanDuel.

NBA Picks for Wednesday, April 2, 2025 (1-1, +$90)
San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets.
Line: Nuggets by 8.5.
10:00 PM ET
The Nuggets suffered a crushing defeat last night. They played into double overtime and had the lead in the final minute, but blew it because of Russell Westbrook’s stupidity. Nikola Jokic played 52 minutes in that game, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s scratched in the coming hours. I don’t see why the coaching staff would run him into the ground with two weeks remaining until the playoffs.
Player Prop: As mentioned yesterday, the Nuggets are very weak to two guards. Stephon Castle has been playing much better of late. The best number is over 19.5 points -117 at BetRivers. You can Get $500 in Second-Chance Bets from BetRivers by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Spurs +8.5 +103 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$205
NBA Player Prop: Stephon Castle over 19.5 points -117 (1 Unit) – BetRivers — Incorrect; -$115
NBA Picks for Tuesday, April 1, 2025 (1-1, -$100)
Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets.
Line: Nuggets by 4.
10:00 PM ET
This is a massive revenge spot for the Nuggets. Not only did they lose to the Timberwolves in the playoffs last year; they also dropped the first two games to them this year. With some players returning from injury, and a couple of Timberwolves suspended for one game, this will be Denver’s time to shine.
Player Prop: Given that two Timberwolves are suspended, Anthony Edwards’ scoring should be higher than normal. Denver is very weak to twos, and Edwards has dominated this matchup as a result. The best number is over 27.5 points -115 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Nuggets -4 +100 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Incorrect; -$200
NBA Player Prop: Anthony Edwards over 27.5 points -120 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Monday, March 31, 2025 (0-2, -$325)
Los Angeles Clippers at Orlando Magic.
Line: Clippers by 2.
7:00 PM ET
The Clippers just had a tough battle against the Cavaliers yesterday. They’re stuck with the seventh or eighth seed, so I don’t know if they’ll bring 100-percent effort tonight against a hot Orlando squad.
Player Prop: We’re going with a different game for the player prop. Kel’el Ware has the easiest matchup of any center on tonight’s slate, as the Bullets are horrific at defending big men. The best number is over 12.5 points -115 at BetMGM.
NBA Pick: Magic +2 +102 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Incorrect; -$200
NBA Player Prop: Kel’el Ware over 12.5 points -125 (1 Unit) – BetMGM — Incorrect; -$125
