NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, February 28th

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

The top two teams in the East would, of course, be the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, set to do battle in TD Garden in Boston tomorrow night. And my winning play is on the visiting Cavs.

Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday are both questionable to see action tomorrow night for Boston, which naturally is a blow to the home squad. But even with them in action, my line for this game is a pick ’em, so the value is on the Cavaliers’ end of the spread.

Best Bet: Cleveland +2.5 (-110)

New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

Another top team potentially missing key players tomorrow night is the New York Knicks, with Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns both questionable for their game in Memphis against the Grizzlies.

Regardless, I still like the Grizzlies in this spot, even if those two players suit up. At 22-6, Memphis has the third-best home record in the NBA this season. Memphis -5 is my line.

Best Bet: Memphis -3.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 120-86 (58%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $2,339.99
Return on Investment: 11%
