As the NBA regular season winds down, momentum becomes everything. Teams are either fighting for playoff positioning, locking up seeds, or—let’s face it—shutting things down and getting ready for Cancun. For savvy bettors, this is a goldmine. Understanding who’s locked in versus who’s checked out gives you the edge you need to cash more tickets. This is the time of year when trends mean more and betting strategy has to be sharp.
At Hot Streak Picks, we don’t chase—we follow form, injury reports, and the motivation that drives these end-of-season games. Yesterday, that gameplan delivered perfection. Let’s recap the wins and get you locked in for tonight.
Yesterday’s Recap – 2 for 2, Let’s Go!
✅ Los Angeles Lakers -4 @ Dallas Mavericks
The Lakers didn’t just cover—they dominated. Luka Doncic made a triumphant return to Dallas in purple and gold, dropping 45 points and helping L.A. clinch a playoff spot with a 112-97 blowout. That was a clean cover and a statement win.
✅ Toronto Raptors -8.5 vs Charlotte Hornets
Raptors crushed the Hornets by 30 in a game that was never close. Rookie Jonathan Mogbo made history with a triple-double—17 points, 11 dimes, and 10 boards. That one was over early, and we never looked back.
Today’s Picks – April 10, 2025
🟩 New York Knicks +5 @ Detroit Pistons
We’re backing the Knicks on the road. They’ve been a covering machine, going 6-1 ATS in their last 7. Meanwhile, Detroit is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5. The Knicks have the grit and form to keep this one close—or win outright.
🟩 Milwaukee Bucks -14.5 vs New Orleans Pelicans
Milwaukee at home is a different beast. They’re 4-1 ATS in their last 5 and with the Pelicans struggling—1-5 straight up in their last 6—it’s hard to see them keeping up. Lay the points with confidence.
