All 30 teams are in action this Friday as the NBA season winds down. NBA TV will have a double-header featuring the Bucks vs Pistons game at 7 pm ET, followed by the Rockets vs Lakers at 10.30 pm ET. I’ve gone in-depth and prepared a best bet for every single game.
Head over to our NBA picks page for picks on the side and total but now let’s look at my best bets for Friday’s games!
Bucks vs Pistons Best Bet: Pistons ML (-225)
Detroit needs the win, which sets up a winner-take-all scenario in Sunday’s final game of the season with the Bucks.
Magic vs Pacers Best Bet: Pascal Siakam Over 0.5 Made Threes (-225)
Siakam has canned a 3 in 16 of his last 20 games, including his last 7 in a row.
Hawks vs 76ers Best Bet: Dyson Daniels to Record 6+ Rebounds (-210)
DD is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game in his last 10 outings and has cleared this line in 7 of those games. Philadelphia allows the fifth-most rebounds per game this season.
Hornets vs Celtics Best Bet: Hornets +19.5 (-115)
The spread is just too big for me. Boston will be playing its bench guys and they just lost by 20 to Orlando after scoring only 76 points.
Cavaliers vs Knicks Best Bet: Knicks -10 (-108)
Cleveland has secured the #1 seed, so it will be resting everyone. The Knicks need the win to finish 3rd in the East.
Wizards vs Bulls Best Bet: Matas Buzelis 2+ Made Threes (-113)
Buzelis been shooting the lights out from 3 in the past 10 games averaging 2.6 makes on 49.1% efficiency. He has cleared this lien in all but 1 of those games.
Raptors vs Mavericks Best Bet: Anthony Davis to Record a double-double (-135)
AD has notched a double-double in 2 of his last 3 games, falling short by just 1 rebound in the third game. He has achieved this feat in 3 of the last 4 meetings with the Raptors, as well.
Nets vs Timberwolves Best Bet: Nets +18.5 (-105)
These 2 teams met a week ago and Minnesota won by 15 points. The spread is too big for my taste, especially after Minnesota just played last night in Memphis.
Grizzlies vs Nuggets Best Bet: Jaren Jackson Jr. 2+ Made Threes (-162)
JJJ is making 2.7 triples per game over his last 10 outings on 43.5%. Last night vs Minnesota he went 4-for-7.
Spurs vs Suns Best Bet: Devin Booker 6+ Assists (-192)
Booker just had 14 assists in the loss to OKC; over his last 10 games he’s at 7.9 dimes per game.
Warriors vs Blazers Best Bet: Warriors -11.5 (-115)
Golden State needs the win after losing to the Spurs at the buzzer in their last game. Portland is without most of its starters, eager to tank the final 2 games.
Clippers vs Kings Best Bet: Ivica Zubac to Record a double-double (-340)
Zubac has recorded a double-double in 13 straight and has failed to do so just once in his last 20 games.
Rockets vs Lakers Best Bet: Lakers -9.5 (-110)
Houston will be resting everyone with the #2 seed wrapped up. The Lakers still have everything to play for, so expect them to dominate at home.
