Knicks to Prevail in Brooklyn

Nets and Knicks go head-to-head at Barclays Center in a tasty midweek NBA fixture. New York’s form has been up and down in 2025, but can Tom Thibodeau’s men get the win in Brooklyn?

Nets are in bad form, losing 11 of their last 13 games. They have picked up just 14 wins this season. In contrast, Knicks are riding high in third place in the Eastern Conference after 28 victories. Back the away side to win -7.5 at 1.55.

Heat Too Hot to Handle for Trail Blazers

Miami and Portland square off at Kaseya Center this week. Heat bounced back from three straight defeats with a win against San Antonio Spurs last time out. Can the hosts make it back-to-back home victories?

Portland ended a five-game losing streak with a much-needed 113-102 victory over Chicago Bulls in their last one. However, we fancy Heat to get the job done in Florida. Take a punt on Miami to win -13.5 at 2.42.

Easy Home Win for Lakers

Lakers welcome Wizards to Crypto.com Arena this week for an NBA fixture. Los Angeles are sixth in the Western Conference, with Washington sitting rock bottom of the East. As expected, the hosts are the overwhelming favourites.

JJ Redick’s side are looking to bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Los Angeles Clippers. Before that, Lakers had seen off Miami and Brooklyn. Washington have lost every game since New Year’s Day. We are backing Lakers to win -18.5 (2.95).
