My unbeaten run to start April continues, and I plan on building a proper heater this month. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, April 3rd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, April 3rd
Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
My road to the riches continues to be paved by playing tanking teams on the spread. It isn’t a strategy easy on the nerves, but it’s been a profitable one this season.
The tanker in this matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets is, of course, the Nets. Brooklyn would have been crummy just naturally with their roster, but they’ve ensured it with creative uses of their injury list. Regardless, my line for this game is only Atlanta -8.5, so the Nets should cover at home.
Best Bet: Brooklyn +16 (-113)
Toronto Raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Memphis Grizzlies are taking the same approach to their injury report as the Nets – if a player starts playing too well, he immediately acquires a season-ending injury. The NBA – I love this game.
But, once again, like the Nets, I’m in on the Griz on the spread at home. After crunching the pertinent numbers, my line is Toronto -3.5, so there is plenty of value on the Grizzlies plus the points, regardless of who they suit up.
Best Bet: Memphis +13.5 (-113)
2025/6 Overall Record: 170-133 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,980.39
Return on Investment: 7%
