I’m off to a nice 2-1 start to the 2025/26 NBA season, picking up right where I left off last season. Let’s keep the good times rolling tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, October 23rd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, October 23rd
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
Surprisingly, my only miss this season was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who didn’t cover on NBA opening night. It’s surprising because the Thunder always covered last season. Things have changed?
Maybe, but I expect them to be back to normal tomorrow night as the Thunder visit the depleted Indiana Pacers, playing their first game of the season. The Thunder have quite a few names on the injury report for tomorrow as well, so let’s just call it a wash. My line is Oklahoma City -7.5 based on full rosters, so I have faith in OKC covering.
Best Bet: Oklahoma City -7.5 (-108)
Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, did cover on opening night, as I predicted. Now they have a top title challenger, the Denver Nuggets, visiting for Jokic and company’s first game of the campaign.
And guess what? The Warriors are going to cover again for me tomorrow night. My line is Golden State -3.5, so I’ll gladly take them plus the points on the spread.
Best Bet: Golden State +1 (-114)
2025/6 Overall Record: 2-1 (67%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $85.25
Return on Investment: 28%
