The NBA bids farewell to 2025 with 18 of its 30 teams in action tomorrow. Let’s hit another couple of winners to enter 2026 on a roll. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, December 30th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, December 31st
Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets
Start Time – 1:00 PM EST
Don’t look now, but the Charlotte Hornets are a kinda competent NBA team this season. While their 11-21 record does not hint at this fact, there’s plenty of good stuff going on under the hood, which should result in more wins incoming.
Will the Hornets beat the Golden State Warriors tomorrow? I’m not predicting that – my line is Golden State -2.5. But that means that the Hornets should cover the spread for us.
Best Bet: Charlotte +7 (-110)
Orlando Magic vs Indiana Pacers
Start Time – 3:00 PM EST
This game between the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers tomorrow epitomizes what the NBA is today. The best player on the Pacers is out for the year with a calf injury. The Magic will probably be missing three of their top four players as well. Fun times.
That being said, regardless of who is out for the Magic, they should be able to handle the miserable Pacers. My line is Orlando -8.5, so the Magic on the spread is the move.
Best Bet: Orlando -3.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 74-59 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $634.77
Return on Investment: 5%
