Best NBA Picks with Alison

Best NBA Bets for March 15, 2025

Sometimes, betting can be frustrating, and last night was one of those nights. We took some tough losses, but that’s part of the game. Miami had a chance to cover against Boston but completely collapsed in the fourth quarter, scoring just 14 points while Boston pulled away. The Pacers vs. 76ers game was close, but after some late lineup changes, the spread moved from 11.5 to 12.5, and Indiana ended up winning by 15. Finally, Minnesota’s huge fourth-quarter surge killed our under in the Magic vs. Timberwolves game, proving once again that weekend games tend to be higher-scoring with charged-up crowds.

We’re moving on and locking in three strong plays for March 15. With Milwaukee looking for revenge, OKC in a great spot against Detroit, and Houston favored to dominate at home, we’re in a great position to bounce back and get back to winning. Let’s break it down.


Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 (-110) vs. Indiana Pacers

The Bucks are coming off a heartbreaking 114-115 loss to the Pacers just a few nights ago. But Milwaukee rarely loses to the same team twice in a short span, and they’ve been dominant at home. Indiana has struggled on the road, and with the Bucks looking for revenge, expect them to cover the spread.


Oklahoma City Thunder -5 (-110) vs. Detroit Pistons

OKC has been one of the most consistent teams this season, and Detroit continues to struggle against top-tier opponents. While the Pistons have had moments of competitive play, they don’t have the firepower to keep up with an explosive Thunder squad. This is a great spot for OKC to take control early and cover.


Houston Rockets -8.5 (-110) vs. Chicago Bulls

The Rockets have a 75% win probability, and when they win, they usually win big. Chicago’s defense has been a major liability, and Houston’s home-court advantage should make a huge difference in this game. This is a strong spot for the Rockets to cover the 8.5-point spread.


Final Thoughts

We took some tough beats last night, but that’s all part of the grind. Now, we’re looking to bounce back with three well-researched plays that put us in the best position to cash some tickets tonight. Let’s lock in these picks and get back to winning!
