A 3-1 run is just what I needed to get me hopefully back on track with my NBA bets. Let’s keep trending in the right direction tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, February 26th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, February 26th
Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
Just like there’s always money in the banana stand, there is always money to be made fading the Los Angeles Lakers. That’s the case again tomorrow night as they head to Phoenix to face the Suns.
Phoenix is really banged up, with Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks among the names that will be missing in action tomorrow night. However, even taking these absences into the mix, my line is Phoenix -0.5, so the Suns plus the points is the play.
Best Bet: Phoenix +5.5 (-110)
New Orleans Pelicans vs Utah Jazz
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
It’s dangerous making plays on Utah Jazz games, with the team so actively tanking. However, the New Orleans Pelicans are not a good basketball team, are 6-21 on the road, and will be missing Trey Murphy III tomorrow night.
So I’ll take a chance on the Jazz on the spread. My line is Utah -2, so even if Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George miss the game tomorrow, that is still enough wiggle room to play the Jazz.
Best Bet: Utah +4.5 (-115)
2025/6 Overall Record: 126-109 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $373.01
Return on Investment: 2%
