Best NBA Bets for March 22, 2025

March Madness might be stealing the spotlight, but NBA bettors know the regular season is full of sneaky value—and last night proved exactly that. We were on the right side of the action, going 1-for-2, and it came down to the wire. The Orlando Magic took care of business in dominant fashion, covering the -7.5 spread with ease by cruising to a 15-point win over the struggling Washington Wizards. That one was never in doubt.

Our only miss came in heartbreaking fashion. We were on the Houston Rockets -5.5 at home against the Miami Heat. The Rockets controlled the game most of the way, leading late by seven, but then came the dagger. Bam Adebayo, not exactly known for his three-point shooting, hit a miraculous 28-foot running pull-up three with just two seconds left. It cut the margin to four and stole the cover right out of our hands. A bad beat if there ever was one.

But we’re back at it today with two more plays we love on this Saturday slate:

🔥 Today’s Best NBA Bets – March 22, 2025:

Brooklyn Nets +10 at Indiana Pacers
The Nets may not be contenders, but they’ve been covering machines lately—6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. They’ve also split the last five matchups with Indiana, showing they can hang in this matchup. Getting double digits here is too much value to pass up.

Golden State Warriors -2.5 at Atlanta Hawks
While the Warriors have struggled a bit ATS lately (2-4), they’re flat-out winning games. Golden State is 9-1 straight up in their last 10, and with playoff positioning on the line, this is a short number to lay against a Hawks team that’s been inconsistent all season.
