We only have five games on the NBA schedule on Friday to find some winners from, and at least three of the teams involved are actively tanking. But don’t worry – I’ve got this. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, February 27th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, February 27th
New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
Luckily, the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t tanking, because if they were, they would be failing at it. Despite no Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court, the Bucks have won back-to-back games and five of their last six.
Will they beat the New York Knicks tonight? I’m not going to be that bold, but they will at least cover the spread. My line is New York -5, so the Bucks plus the points it is then.
Best Bet: Milwaukee +8.5 (-111)
Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks
Start Time – 8:30 PM EST
Did someone say tanking?! We’ve got two such teams right here, as the Memphis Grizzlies travel to Dallas to face the Mavericks. Just gaze at those injury reports for each team.
When two tanking teams face each other, in theory, the tanking should cancel each other out. Or something. And the Mavericks can’t win at home, dropping six straight in front of their home fans. My line is Dallas -0.5, so the value is on the Memphis side.
Best Bet: Memphis +5.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 126-109 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $373.01
Return on Investment: 2%
