Tomorrow might be April Fools’ Day, but I’m deadly serious about my NBA picks. No joke. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, April 1st.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, April 1st
New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
As I’m writing this, the New York Knicks are in the process of having their asses handed to them by the Rockets in Houston, so tomorrow’s game in Memphis against the Grizzlies will be the second night of a road back-to-back.
Yet the Knicks will still win this game, because the Grizzlies will let them. However, Memphis will cover the spread because my numbers say so. My line is New York -5.5, so the Grizzlies plus the points is the play.
Best Bet: Memphis +15.5 (-116)
Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
Am I really going in on two tanking teams tomorrow?! Damn right I am. The Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz just played a few days back in Denver, and the Jazz only lost by six points.
So Utah can keep up their tanking ways by stashing seven players or more on their injury list and still lose this game to the Nuggets. But they can cover the spread in the process. My line is Denver -8, so the Jazz are my second tanking home dog of the day.
Best Bet: Utah +17.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 167-132 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,818.53
Return on Investment: 6%
