NBA Picks for Sunday, March 16, 2025 (1-1, -$100)
Atlanta Hawks at Brooklyn Nets.
Line: Hawks by 7.5.
6:00 PM ET
We bet the Nets yesterday, but we’ll be looking to fade them tonight. They played a tough game against the Celtics and nearly prevailed. This is now the latter of a back-to-back, and the third game in four nights. I don’t see the Nets being competitive today.
Player Prop: The Nets are weak to centers, so with Clint Capela out, Onyeka Okwongwu should have a strong game. The best number is over 14.5 points -110 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.

NBA Player Prop: Onyeka Okongwu over 14.5 points -110 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Saturday, March 15, 2025 (2-0, +$305)
Boston Celtics at Brooklyn Nets.
Line: Celtics by 10.
6:00 PM ET
The Celtics are locked into the No. 2 seed, and this is the latter half of a back-to-back, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they sat their key players in this game. Meanwhile, the Nets have played nothing but close games since D’Angelo Russell returned from injury, hanging with the Cavaliers and Warriors.
Player Prop: The Celtics are at their weakest against shooting guards. Keon Johnson will have more playing time tonight with Cam Thomas out. The best number is over 11.5 points +100 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Nets +10 +103 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$205
NBA Player Prop: Keon Johnson over 11.5 points +100 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Friday, March 14, 2025 (0-2, -$300)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Memphis Grizzlies.
Line: Cavaliers by 2.
8:00 PM ET
The Cavaliers are eight up on the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They don’t need to win these games, which would explain why they’ve failed to cover three of their previous four. Also, Donovan Mitchell is out, which doesn’t help. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, are fighting for the No. 2 seed.
Player Prop: The Cavaliers have a good defense, but they’re much weaker against power forwards than every other position. Jaren Jackson Jr. is the play tonight. The best number is over 19.5 points -102 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.

NBA Player Prop: Jaren Jackson Jr. over 19.5 points -102 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$100
NBA Picks for Thursday, March 13, 2025 (1-1, -$100)
Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors.
Line: Warriors by 6.5.
10:00 PM ET
The Warriors were a covering machine when they first acquired Jimmy Butler. However, the sportsbooks have adjusted. They’ve inflated their lines, which would explain why they haven’t covered the spread in the past three games. This should be another close one, as the Kings are battling for the eighth seed.
Player Prop: We’re going to bet on DeMar DeRozan tonight. The Warriors are at their weakest defending wings. This would explain how DeRozan had 34 and 32 points in his previous two matchups against the Warriors. The best number is over 21.5 points -120 at FanDuel.

NBA Pick: Kings +6.5 +102 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Incorrect; -$200
NBA Player Prop: DeMar DeRozan over 21.5 points -120 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Correct; +$100
NBA Picks for Wednesday, March 12, 2025 (1-1, +$80)
Los Angeles Clippers at Miami Heat.
Line: Heat by 2.
8:00 PM ET
The Clippers embarrassed themselves last night with a loss to the Pelicans. I think they’ll bounce back tonight against a Miami team that probably shouldn’t be favored in this sort of a matchup, even if Kawhi Leonard is out.
Player Prop: We’re going to bet on James Harden tonight. The Heat aren’t very good against point guards, which would explain why Harden had 26 points in the previous matchup. The best number is over 24.5 points -120 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Clippers +2 +101 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: James Harden over 24.5 points -120 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Incorrect; -$120
NBA Picks for Tuesday, March 11, 2025 (1-1, +$85)
Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers.
Line: Bucks by 2.
7:30 PM ET
We faded the Pacers last night, but we’re going to be on them in this game. I suspected that Indiana would be saving its energy for the Bucks, and now we get a nice discount on them as home underdogs.
Player Prop: We’re going to bet on Tyrese Haliburton tonight. The Bucks are weak to point guards, so Haliburton should do well in this big game. The best number is over 18.5 points -115 at FanDuel. You can Get $200 in bonus bets from FanDuel by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Pacers +2 +101 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200
NBA Player Prop: Tyrese Haliburton over 18.5 points -115 (1 Unit) – FanDuel — Incorrect; -$115
NBA Picks for Monday, March 10, 2025 (1-1, +$90)
Indiana Pacers at Chicago Bulls.
Line: Pacers by 3.5.
8:00 PM ET
The Pacers won’t have their best player tonight as they prepare to take on the Bucks tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Bulls have been hot of late, covering seven of their previous nine games. I like Chicago tonight.
Player Prop: We’re going to bet on Matas Buzelis tonight. The Pacers are weak against fours, so Buzelis should do well. The best number is over 12.5 points -120 at DraftKings. You can Get $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings by clicking the link.
NBA Pick: Bulls +3.5 +105 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$210
NBA Player Prop: Matas Buzelis over 12.5 points -120 (1 Unit) – DraftKings — Incorrect; -$120
