NBA Picks for Sunday, March 23, 2025 (1-1, -$100)
Philadelphia 76ers at Atlanta Hawks.
Line: Hawks by 10.
6:00 PM ET
We bet the Hawks last night, but will be fading them this evening. They exerted a lot of energy against the Warriors and should be flat in this matchup. I know the 76ers suck, but they’ve been blown out only once since their March 6 tilt against the Celtics.
Player Prop: Justin Edwards has been on a tear since Tyrese Maxey and Paul George were knocked out with injuries. The Hawks are very soft against forwards. The best number is over 13.5 points -117 at BetRivers. You can Get $500 in Second-Chance Bets from BetRivers by clicking the link.

NBA Picks for Saturday, March 22, 2025 (2-0, +$300)
Golden State Warriors at Atlanta Hawks.
Line: Warriors by 2.
7:00 PM ET
I talked about this recently, but the Warriors have had issues covering the spread – 2-6 ATS in their previous eight games – because the oddsmakers have inflated their spreads following the initial success with Jimmy Butler. This is another example of that. The Warriors, missing Steph Curry, should not be favored in Atlanta.
Player Prop: The Warriors are weak against big men. We had success betting Onyeka Okongwu recently, and we’ll do it again. He should continue to produce well with Clint Capela still sidelined. The best number is over 13.5 points -122 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Hawks +2 +101 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: Onyeka Okongwu over 13.5 points -122 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Friday, March 21, 2025 (2-0, +$310)
Orlando Magic at Washington Bullets.
Line: Magic by 9.
7:00 PM ET
The Magic went through some severe struggles recently, but they appear to have gotten over them with some nice wins lately. Most of their recent opponents have been top teams, so this will be an easy game for them, as Washington is not fielding a competitive lineup right now.
Player Prop: The Bullets are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. They’re especially bad against front-court players. Paolo Banchero has been on a tear recently, so I love him tonight. The best number is over 26.5 points -125 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Magic -9 +105 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$210
NBA Player Prop: Paolo Banchero over 26.5 points -125 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Thursday, March 20, 2025 (2-0, +$300)
Chicago Bulls at Sacramento Kings.
Line: Kings by 6.5.
10:00 PM ET
We bet the Kings last night, but we’re going to fade them in this game. They exerted all of their energy to come back and beat the Cavaliers. They’ll be out of gas versus the Bulls, who are fighting for a playoff spot.
Player Prop: The Kings are weakest against centers, so I like Nikola Vucevic tonight. Vucevic is rounding into shape from his injury, and he should have some nice performances moving forward. The best number is over 16.5 points -115 at BetMGM.
NBA Pick: Bulls +6.5 +101 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: Nikola Vucevic over 16.5 points -115 (1 Unit) – BetMGM — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Wednesday, March 19, 2025 (1-1, +$75)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Sacramento Kings.
Line: Cavaliers by 4.
10:00 PM ET
The Cavaliers are well ahead of everyone in the Eastern Conference, so I don’t know why’d push it in a back-to-back this late in the season, even after a loss. The Kings, meanwhile, are fighting for a playoff spot. They just beat the Grizzlies, so perhaps this positive momentum can carry over into tonight’s game.
Player Prop: We’re attacking what we did last night with our replacement prop. The Cavaliers allow tons of rebounds to power forwards, so Keegan Murray should be able to eclipse the posted total. The best number is over 5.5 rebounds -125 at BetRivers. You can Get $500 in Second-Chance Bets from BetRivers by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Kings +4 +103 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: Keegan Murray over 5.5 rebounds -125 (1 Unit) – BetRivers — Incorrect; -$125
NBA Picks for Tuesday, March 18, 2025 (2-0, +$300)
Milwaukee Bucks at Golden State Warriors.
Line: Bucks by 2.
10:00 PM ET
The Warriors are home underdogs because they lost last night to the Nuggets scrubs. However, they didn’t exert much energy in that game, as it was apparent that they were saving their effort for tonight. The Bucks are obviously a good team, but not great enough to be favored in Golden State.
Player Prop: Steph Curry is out, so we’re going to look at another prop. This is from the other night game. I like Kawhi Leonard over rebounds. The Cavaliers give up plenty of rebounds to opposing power forwards, and Leonard has eclipsed 5.5 rebounds often recently. The best number is over 5.5 rebounds -125 at ESPNBet.
NBA Pick: Warriors +2 -101 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: Kawhi Leonard over 5.5 rebounds -125 (1 Unit) – ESPNBet — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Monday, March 17, 2025 (0-2, -$325)
Miami Heat at New York Knicks.
Line: Knicks by 6.
7:30 PM ET
The Heat have failed to cover their previous seven games, so this seems like a good time to buy low on them. The Knicks aren’t in great shape either. They’ve lost four of their previous six games with Jalen Brunson sidelined, and they’re coming off a West Coast trip, so they could be jet lagged.
Player Prop: The Knicks are at their weakest defending point guards. That would explain why Tyler Herro has averaged 28 points per game against them this year. The best number is over 22.5 points -125 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Heat +6 +100 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Incorrect; -$200
NBA Player Prop: Tyler Herro over 22.5 -125 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Incorrect; -$125
