Friday night picks ended up going 0-1-1, but I look to bounce back on Sunday, which features a full schedule of games. The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers. Additionally, the Lakers will battle the Phoenix Suns, and the Denver Nuggets will take on the Golden State Warriors. Below are my February 25, 2024 NBA Picks.

NBA Picks February 25, 2024
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Tipoff – 1:00 pm EST
Spread: -4.5
Total: 232
The Milwaukee Bucks were struggling, to say the least, prior to the All-Star Break and under new head coach Doc Rivers. The All-Star Break gave the Bucks an opportunity to make the adjustments and get more comfortable with Rivers’ new system.
Coming out of the All-Star Break, the 76ers are 1-1. The victory came against the wounded Cavaliers and a 14-point loss to the New York Knicks.
The 76ers are limited without reigning MVP Joel Embiid. In fact, over the last 10 games, the Sixers are #21 in offensive efficiency. I believe this is another opportunity for the Bucks to get their second win coming out of the All-Star break.
Best Bet: Bucks -4.5
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards
Tipoff: 6:00 pm EST
Spread: Cavaliers -11
Total: 232.5
These teams have lost each of their first two games coming out of the All-Star Break. However, the Cavaliers were without their All-Star Donovan Mitchell in both games. On the other hand, the Wizards have lost both games by at least 20+ points. Furthermore, the Wizards have allowed at least 130+ points in both games since the break.
Additionally, the Wizards have struggled at home this season. The Wizards are 3-23 SU and 8-18 ATS. Thus far this season, after a loss, the Cavaliers are covering the spread at 56.2% rate. I believe this is a good bounce-back spot for the Cavaliers against a team that is in full tank mode.
Best Bet: Cavaliers -11 and TT Over 122.5
YTD Record: 37-24-1 (59.5%)
