I lost both of my NBA bets on Saturday by one point. Now that’s a couple of bad beats. Let’s brush ourselves off and get back at it tomrorow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Sunday, February 22nd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, February 22nd
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Start Time – 1:00 PM EST
The injury bug continues to dine on the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder, as their top two players – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams – will miss action tomorrow when their teammates welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers to town.
Yet, I’m still picking the Thunder in this matchup. Even when taking the injuries into the equation, I’ve still come up with the line of Oklahoma City -2, so the Thunder are still the play on the spread.
Best Bet: Oklahoma City +2.5 (-100)
Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
It was a costly triple-overtime win for the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, as Dillon Brooks broke his hand and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. He’ll be joining Devin Booker, who is currently out as well.
However, the Portland Trail Blazers may be without Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe. And my line is still Phoenix -0.5, so I’ll take a second home dog for tomorrow’s action.
Best Bet: Phoenix +3.5 (-104)
2025/6 Overall Record: 122-105 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $406.71
Return on Investment: 2%
