Consistency is the key to long-term success, and that’s what we’re focused on here at Hot Streak Picks. Whether you’re riding a hot streak or trying to bounce back, it’s all about reading the right spots and trusting the data. Let’s look back at Friday’s results and get set for a strong Sunday slate.
Yesterday’s Recap (1–1 Record)
✅ We lost Cavaliers/Wizards – Under 235.5
Donovan Mitchell scored 24 points, Darius Garland added 20 points and nine assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers routed the Washington Wizards 148–115 on Friday night to improve to 1–1 in NBA Cup play.
✅ We won Bucks -4.5 vs Bulls
Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated with 41 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists as the Milwaukee Bucks opened their NBA Cup title defense with a 126–110 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Today’s NBA Picks
1️⃣ Minnesota / Sacramento Over 236
Minnesota’s defense might be elite, but both teams come in scoring well over 115 points per game. The total has gone Over in 4 of the last 5 meetings, and both offenses are in rhythm with elite pace and efficient shooting from deep. Expect a fast tempo, transition buckets, and minimal half-court stagnation.
2️⃣ Minnesota -5.5
The Timberwolves are 5–0 ATS in their last five games in Sacramento, and the Kings have struggled to cover at home, sitting 1–5 ATS in their last six. Minnesota’s depth and defensive rebounding are the difference here, especially with the Kings on tired legs. The Wolves have been a quiet ATS machine in November, and this is a prime spot for another road cover.
