NBA Picks 2/25/22
3-0 in our first night of games post-All-Star break. The Celtics were too much for the Nets and the game was never in question. The Nuggets pulled away from the Kings in the 4th while the Timberwolves made enough plays down the stretch to defeat the Grizzlies. Let’s take a look at tonight’s slate and try to stay hot for the NBA Picks 2/25/22.
Toronto Raptors at Charlotte Hornets (+2) 7:10p.m EST
We are fading the Charlotte Hornets until they prove they can play winning basketball without Gordon Heyward. At -2, the line is low enough for us to pick the Toronto Raptors with confidence.
Pick: Toronto Raptors -2 (-110 via DraftKings)
Miami Heat at New York Knicks (+5.5) 7:40 p.m EST
With news that Kemba Walker is being sat out for the remainder of the season, one has to assume the dysfunction in the locker room is still present and/or the New York Knicks have decided to tank the rest of the season. Tanking would be in their best interest since the chance at a high draft pick would mean more to them than playing themselves into cannon fodder in the first round.
Pick: Miami Heat -5.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
Philadelphia 76ers at Minnesota Timberwolves 8:10 p.m EST
James Harden is making his debut tonight and we have to imagine the Philadelphia 76ers will play with energy and look to make a point against a Minnesota Timberwolves team on the rise.
