NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, April 25th

Sure, they miraculously stormed back and won, but the Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t cover the spread on Thursday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. And the Thunder ALWAYS cover the spread. I hate the playoffs. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, April 25th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, April 25th

Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

Considering they lost by 19 and eight points, respectively, in the first two games of this series, I was surprised to see the Milwaukee Bucks as big of a favorite as they are for Friday’s Game 3. But I’ll gladly take advantage of it.

The Bucks are very good at home, posting a 27-14 home mark this season, but they have shown they are an inferior team to the Indiana Pacers. My line is Milwaukee -3.5, so Indiana is the play.

Best Bet: Indiana +5.5 (-110)

Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Start Time – 9:30 PM EST

What an ugly rock fight Game 2 of the Los Angeles Lakers vs the Minnesota Timberwolves series was. Now the teams head to Minneapolis, knotted up at a game apiece. Hopefully, we get a more palatable Game 3.

The Lakers are a poor road team this season, only managing a 19-22 away record during the regular season. So I think the line here isn’t wide enough. My line is Minnesota -6.5, so the Wolves on the spread is the play.

Best Bet: Minnesota -2.5 (-115)

Overall Record: 169-142 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,229.06
Return on Investment: 4%
