Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

Point Spread PickBest Bet
MIL Bucks -5.5(-110)

The Memphis Grizzlies are taking on the Milwaukee Bucks today, and it is hard to see how they are even able to put together a team for the contest. There are 15 players listed on their injury report. They enter this contest after a 32-point loss to the Toronto Raptors where just 3 of their players managed double-digit points. Of the 3, GG Jackson and Cedric Coward are doubtful to play and Javon Small is out. While the Bucks are no world beaters, they will have veteran scorers like Kyle Kuzma available to them and will be able to put together lineups that have seen far more NBA minutes together.

With Myles Turner available for the Bucks, they have been good at protecting the rim. Over the last 10 games, they have been in the top half of the league in opponent points in the paint. The Grizzlies are down in 28th in that same category. The ability to score easier and more efficient points inside should prove to be a major difference tonight. The Milwaukee Bucks rank 21st in true shooting percentage over that 10-game stretch while the Grizzlies were down in 27th, and that was with guys like Jackson available. Considering the G-League level team that will be on show here, take the Bucks to comfortably outscore them and cover the spread.

Grizzlies vs Bucks prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -7.5.

Game Totals Pick
Over 230.5(-110)

Just yesterday, the Washington Wizards were in action against the Miami Heat in a game that combined for 288 points. While their game today is unlikely to reach similar heights, we should still have a high-scoring game in their clash against the Brooklyn Nets. This will be the 4th meeting between these teams this season, with 2 of them clearing the combined 230-point mark. That includes their last game in February, which saw them combine for 240-points. The Wizards are down in 28th over the last 10 games in defensive rating and have been giving up 125.5 points per game on the second night of back-to-backs. It should be a perfect opponent for the hosts to pick up their offensive production against.

One of the reasons that the Wizards have been involved in high scoring games is the tempo they set. Over the last 10 games, they are 4th in the league in pace. During that stretch they also allow more fast break points than any other NBA team. It is something the young Nets roster should be well positioned to exploit. The visitors should be able to able to do their part scoring wise, too. Over that same stretch, they are 11th in three-pointers made per game. With the Nets allowing teams to shoot 40.1% from deep during that time, it’s something the Wizards should be able to maintain here. Back the over.

Wizards vs Nets prediction: Over 230.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to over 231.5.

2025-26 NBA Championship Winner Pick
DEN Nuggets to win NBA Championship(+1700)

The fact that the Nuggets are being ignored to this extent by the oddsmakers is shocking. They pushed the Thunder to 7 games this postseason and still have Nikola Jokic, the player who averaged a triple-double last season and was the rightful MVP in many people’s eyes. They might need to move on from Michael Porter Jr., however. If they can do that and use the cap space to supplement their depth, they will be a dangerous opponent for any team in the league.

Aaron Gordon has shown he can be the 3rd option on a great team and Christian Braun has turned himself into a great defender and a great off-ball cutter. This team might only be a couple of shooters away from rising back to the top of the league. Jokic is entering his prime years and the Nuggets have new management in place. Expect them to make win-now moves to supplement their superstar. I don’t think there is a player in the league who can elevate the play of the supporting cast more than the Serbian. He should have the Nuggets challenging in 2026.
