NBA Picks March 25th
Brooklyn Nets vs. Toronto Raptors
Tipoff – 7:30 pm EST
Spread: Nets -5.5
Total: 219.5
What a stinker this one is. Would it be a total shock if both teams leave this game with a loss added to their records?! The visiting Brooklyn Nets have lost six straight games and eight of nine; the host Toronto Raptors have dropped 10 straight and 11 of their last 12. Toronto has won one game in March with basically all their key players on the sidelines looking on.
I can’t really back either of these teams to win, so let’s try our luck on a Total. And it’s an Under. Both teams struggle to get into the 100s in scoring lately; I don’t see the Total getting past the low 200s.
Best Bet: Nets/Raptors Under 219.5 (-115)
Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs
Tipoff – 8:00 pm EST
Spread: Suns -8.5
Total: 233
The Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs just played on Saturday in Phoenix, with the Suns spanking the Spurs by 25 points. Now both teams are hooking up in San Antonio, and the spread is only 8.5 points.
I don’t see why Phoenix doesn’t beat San Antonio by double figures once again. They’ve won three straight games all by 13 or more points, and seem to be healthy, knock on wood. Phoenix and San Antonio combined for 237 points on Saturday, so the Total looks lined up in the correct range.
Best Bet: Suns -8.5 (-109)
