Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 – 07:30 PM EDT at Barclays Center
The AI Model thinks the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors will combine for 217 points. However, the total is currently listed at 214.5 at most sportsbooks. According to the AI Model, the Over 214.5 is a steal.
Toronto Has The Edge On Offense
It’s rare for the Raptors to have an edge against an opponent. However, the Raptors should perform well offensively tonight against the Nets. After all, the Nets rank 22nd in points per 100 possessions on defense. Brooklyn has also allowed a 56% effective field goal percentage with a 21.8 free throw rate. Ultimately, the Raptors should be able to take advantage of these areas.
In addition, the Raptors have earned 30.3% of offensive rebounds per game, another area where they dominate. The more second chances, the better.
The Nets Will Also Earn Second Chances
The Brooklyn Nets should also earn a high rate of second chances. The Nets have added 29% of offensive rebounds per game and will battle a Raptors defense that has given up 29.2% of offensive rebounds.
In addition, the Raptors have allowed a 22.8 free-throw rate, which suggests that the Nets will likely see the foul line frequently in this game. Brooklyn hasn’t been consistent in shooting the ball. But second chances and free throws should help push this game over the total.
The Pick
Let’s ride with the Over 214.5. Thank the AI Model when it hits!
NBA Pick: Raptors/Nets Over 214.5 (-110) at Bet365
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 – 09:00 PM EDT at Ball Arena
The AI Model predicts the Nuggets will earn a 115-111 victory over the Bucks. However, the Bucks are +5.5. They’d cover the 5.5-point spread with a four-point loss. Consider the Bucks in this spot.
Can The Bucks Survive Without Lillard?
Damian Lillard will be out for the foreseeable future due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. However, the Bucks still have Giannis Antetokounmpo and should be able to dominate on offense against the Nuggets.
The Nuggets have allowed 116.7 points per 100 possessions while allowing a 54.8% effective field goal percentage. Denver also isn’t very good at forcing turnovers. These are all areas where the Bucks can elevate their game. If the Bucks shoot well and keep turnovers down, they’ll be a tough out tonight.
Could Nikola Jokic Miss Tonight’s Game, Too?
The answer is no. Jokic is probable and will likely play. That said, the Nuggets still face a Bucks team that ranks 6th in defensive effective field goal percentage.
The Bucks have also limited teams to a 26.1% offensive rebounding rate and has allowed just a 17.8 free throw rate. Milwaukee will make it hard for the Nuggets to find open looks.
The Pick
We’ll rock with the Bucks at +5.5.
NBA Pick: Bucks +5.5 (-110) at Bet365
Boston Celtics vs. Phoenix Suns
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 – 10:00 PM EDT at PHX Arena
The AI Model predicts the Suns will only lose to the Celtics, 112-110. This is significant since the Suns are +4.5 against the spread at most sportsbooks. You’ll want to consider the Suns in this spot.
The Suns Are Rolling!
The Phoenix Suns have won four consecutive games and are now in 10th place in the Western Conference. They’ve limited teams to below 112 points in three of those four wins and have added at least 123 points. The Suns are doing this without Bradley Beal, who is currently out with a hamstring injury.
That said, the Suns have shot a 56.8% effective field goal percentage and rank in the top three in that category. They won’t dominate the offensive glass, but the Suns should be able to limit turnovers against the Celtics.
Boston Lacks Aggressiveness
The Celtics will shoot the ball well and keep turnovers down. However, they have also added just 27% of offensive rebounds and a super low free-throw rate of 17.4.
If the Celtics struggle in those two areas, blowing the Suns out will be hard, especially on the road.
The Pick
Take a chance with the Suns +4.5.
