We have 12 NBA teams in action tomorrow, and only two of them are tanking. Hopefully, that means we can get some good reads on our bets. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, February 25th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, February 25th
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
This should be the premier matchup on the slate tomorrow, but the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams means it is not. It’ll still be interesting to see how the Detroit Pistons bounce back from their loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
I think the Pistons will be just fine. When considering the absences for the Thunder, plus Detroit’s home court advantage, my line is Detroit -8.5, so the Pistons plus the points is the way to go.
Best Bet: Detroit -5.5 (-108)
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
Are the Milwaukee Bucks tanking? I didn’t include them on my tanking list because I think they’re just a really poorly built team missing Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Yet, I’m taking them tomorrow as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Fiserv Forum. The Bucks have actually won three of their last four games, so maybe they aren’t as bad as I thought. Plus, my line is only Cleveland -5, so the Bucks plus the points is the play.
Best Bet: Milwaukee +9.5 (-122)
2025/6 Overall Record: 123-108 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $206.71
Return on Investment: 1%
