As the NBA season pushes into its final stretch, momentum becomes a key factor in handicapping. Teams are either jockeying for playoff position or already eyeing the offseason, and this dynamic can create opportunities for sharp bettors. Whether you’re chasing value in underdog spreads or hammering home court advantages, this is where strategy meets instinct—and we’re here to help you stay a step ahead.
Yesterday? Yeah, we took a couple of L’s. It happens. Trends didn’t play out the way we expected, but that’s part of the grind. We had the Pistons +1.5, and they ended up falling short by six despite a strong effort. Desmond Bane went off for 38 points, and Zach Edey dominated the boards with a career-high 21 rebounds. Memphis held strong, taking the win 109-103. Our second pick, the Timberwolves -6, came this close. Minnesota won the game but only by five, despite Philly missing eight players and sitting all three All-Stars. It was a spot to cover—and it just didn’t land.
Let’s turn the page and get to Sunday’s slate.
First up, we’re rolling with the Toronto Raptors -3 on the road against Brooklyn. Toronto has been quietly solid, going 12-6 straight up in their last 18. The Nets, on the other hand, have been struggling against the spread—just 2-4 in their last six. We like the value with Toronto stepping up.
Next, we’re taking the New York Knicks -9 at home vs. the Phoenix Suns. The Knicks have been handling business at MSG, going 4-1 against the spread in their last five. Meanwhile, Phoenix is in freefall territory ATS—0-6 in their last six. The trends are loud, and the Knicks are poised to take full advantage.
