Latest NBA Predictions

DAL Mavericks -5.5 Point Spread & Under 209.5 Total Points
vs LA Clippers
Reason for tip

With Kawhi Leonard hobbled and the Clippers struggling to score, the deeper and more talented Mavericks are lined up for a potential blowout home victory in Game 4. Dallas’ balanced offense and elite defense should allow them to not just win, but cover the -5.5 spread convincingly.

Elite defensive intensity has turned this series into a grind, with neither team able to generate consistent offense. Kawhi Leonard’s potential absence would further stifle the Clippers’ scoring, while Dallas’ balanced defensive attack has stymied Luka Doncic. Expect another defensive slugfest with the Under 208.5 total as the sharp play.

MIL Bucks +9.5 Point Spread
@ IND Pacers
Reason for tip

Milwaukee covered the spread in 2 of the 3 games so far in this series, I like their chances of doing so again in Game 4. Their backs are against the wall and that should bring out the best out of them. They fell behind by 17 in the first quarter of Game 3 and were still able to come back and be competitive. For those who are brave I would recommend backing the Bucks on the Money Line, but let’s stick with the safer option of Milwaukee to cover here.

MIN Timberwolves Money Line
@ PHX Suns
Reason for tip

Minnesota has dominated all three games this series, winning each by double digits. The Timberwolves have had the same strategy each game defensively, defend the Suns big three straight up with Gobert roaming the paint, and to win the rebounding battle. The Suns have had no adjustment all series. Timberwolves will complete the first postseason sweep in franchise history tonight.

NY Rangers -1.5 Puck Line
@ WAS Capitals
Reason for tip

The Washington Capitals just don’t have the offensive depth to keep up with the New York Rangers. They’ve scored just 5 goals in 3 games and aren’t generating nearly enough scoring chances. The Rangers have very few holes in their lineup and can get scoring from all 4 of their lines. The Capitals will throw everything they have at Igor Shesterkin, but they will still come up short.

New York Knicks each-way
NBA Championship 2023/24
Reason for tip

The Knicks are great outsiders to win the Eastern Conference but backing them each-way for the title offers a better return. The Knicks were second in the regular season and they’ve improved since adding OG Anunoby midway through the campaign. The former Toronto Raptor has been on a title-winning roster, while he’s a solid postseason option and a defensive superstar. The Knicks have Jalen Brunson in the form of his life, so they’re fantastic outsiders to win the East.

Minnesota Timberwolves to win
vs Phoenix Suns
Reason for tip

The Timberwolves’ huge frontcourt is fancied to cause problems for a Suns side who lack the defensive options for a long postseason run. The Suns have struggled to impress in the last couple of playoff runs and they finished eight games behind a Timberwolves side who were the clear best side in the West before Karl-Anthony Towns went down with injury. With Towns back to fitness, back Minnesota to progress.

Dallas Mavericks to win
vs LA Clippers
Reason for tip

The Mavericks are flying right now and they meet an LA Clippers side who have gone cold. The Clippers roster is packed with players known for shrinking in the postseason and their star man Kawhi Leonard is an injury doubt.

Indiana Pacers to win
vs Milwaukee Bucks
Reason for tip

The Bucks had a shaky finish to the season and they lost four of five meetings with Indiana this season. The Pacers’ chances will be boosted by the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss out early in this series.

Orlando Magic to win
vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Reason for tip

The Magic have all the tools to expose this Cavs side and they rank third defensively this term, which bodes well for the postseason. Cleveland lost 15 of their final 25 games this season, with their roster lacking cohesiveness and rumours swirling that star man Donovan Mitchell is heading for the exit.

Dallas Mavericks to win
NBA Championship 2023/24
Reason for tip

The Mavericks’ 16-2 run down the stretch proved they can be a postseason force. They’ve got the best backcourt in the West, while defensive upgrades in February have made them really hard to stop. The Mavs have become very efficient offensively in the back-half of the campaign and in Luka Doncic they boast a near unstoppable offensive force, alongside NBA champion Kyrie Irving.

NBA Predictions FAQs

What time do you post tonight’s NBA picks?

On weekdays our basketball tips are posted at around 6pm UK time. During weekends this is a little earlier, at around 4pm. We try to get them up as early as possible to take advantage of early lines and to make sure we get in before the odds start moving and we lose value. Bookmark and check this page regularly to ensure you get in on the action!

What NBA tips do you offer?

Each night our expert tipsters put up the following NBA picks:

Accumulator – These are not only our most popular bet type but also one of our most confident NBA predictions. Our experts pick out the best NBA bets and put them into an accumulator, where we try to win big from a small stake.

Mega Odds Accumulator – Busy fixture schedule this week? This could be the bet for you. Our analysts pick out solid bets when there are eight or more games on and put them into a mega odds accumulator, usually between 50/1 and 150/1. Naturally, winning returns can be enormous!

Daily Double – Our tipsters pick out two of their favourite NBA tips from tonight’s games and put them into a double. If you’re looking to double your money each night then this is the bet for you.

Do you cover today’s NBA games on TV?

We preview all live NBA games shown on UK television. 170 games are broadcast by Sky Sports every season, and since these tend to be the week’s best games, we analyse them in extra detail. 

How to bet on NBA basketball

In literal terms, you’ll first need to find the right betting site. You can see all of our recommended bookmakers, as well as compare their welcome offers, on our free bets page. 

While our expert tips do all the research you’ll ever need, you can supplement our tips with some of your own research too. What should you take into account when betting on basketball?

The home team will normally have an advantage, particularly if the away team has a long way to travel (the US is huge!). In-play betting is also very popular in the NBA since most games see big swings in momentum –  sometimes you can sense one team making a comeback from a mile off. But the best way to beat the bookies is to analyse form and statistics. But no stress, our tipsters will do that for you!

Who will win the NBA championship?

Formally known as the NBA Finals, this is a championship series played in June between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.

For live standings, you can check out the official league table here.

NBA betting terms explained

Money Line – This is an American sports term simply meaning ‘to win’. If you are backing a team on the money line then they must win for your bet to come in.

Point Spread – This is a handicap system based on points, and works the same as handicaps in football betting. For example, a Miami Heat -2.5 point spread means they must win the game by 3 clear points or more for your bet to come in, with the opposite being the case for a +2.5 point spread. If the spread is a whole number and the team end up winning by or losing by exactly that number, then the bet becomes a push and your money is refunded.

Alternative Point Spread – This is the same as a standard point spread but with a different number of points. Not many bookies offer this market but some, like bet365, offer 10 points either side of the point spread line. We love putting accumulators and banker doubles onto these as part of our NBA tips!

Game Totals – This is simply betting on the total number of points scored in a game. This might look like: Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat – Over/Under 195 =. This means you need 196 or more total points in the game to win the Overs and 194 or less to win the Unders. If the game total is a whole number and ends up being the same as the total points scored then your bet becomes a push and your stake is refunded. Note that all of the above includes overtime!

Alternative Game Totals – This is the same as ‘game totals’ but with a different number of points. Again this can be found on bet365, found under the alternative game totals tab.

Parlay – This is an American term for an accumulator. But don’t worry, our basketball betting tips use the British term!
