A short Saturday slate is in store for us in the NBA, with only five games scheduled, but there are still spots to make some money. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Saturday, February 28th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, February 28th
Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat
Start Time – 3:30 PM EST
A short slate means I’ve got to take more chances, which I’m doing in this game as the Houston Rockets visit the Miami Heat. The Heat will be missing leading scorer and NBA All-Star Norman Powell tomorrow, and have dropped back-to-back games.
Yet….my numbers still advise me to take the Heat tomorrow in Miami. The Heat always has a way of performing better than expected year in, year out. I have Miami as a half-point favorite, so I’ll take a flyer on them plus the points at home.
Best Bet: Miami +3.5 (+104)
Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 8:30 PM EST
I keep telling everyone that the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t any good, yet they keep serving us up Lakers-slanted spreads and lines. So I’ll keep taking advantage of them.
Yes, I know that Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis (probably) won’t be suiting up tomorrow – I’ve already taken that information into my calculations. My line is Golden State -3, so the Warriors plus the points is definitely my play.
Best Bet: Golden State +3.5 (-109)
2025/6 Overall Record: 126-109 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $363.92
Return on Investment: 2%
