Time sure does fly by when you’re having fun, and this NBA season has been nothing short of magical. We are on to the penultimate day of the regular season, which means all 30 teams are in action! Amazon Prime Video will have a double-header starting at 7:00 pm ET between the Cavaliers and Hawks, followed by an all-West battle in Minnesota between the Timberwolves and Rockets at 9:30 pm ET. It took quite an effort, but I went in-depth with all 15 matchups and came up with my NBA Best Bets for every single one of them. You can also check out our expert NBA picks for tonight and every matchup throughout the 2026 NBA Playoffs!
Pistons vs Hornets NBA best bet: Pistons +4 (-106)
Cade is back! The Pistons would be smart to focus on getting him into shape in these remaining two games, so I don’t expect them to just roll over here. It’s a rare occasion to get the best team in the East as a road underdog in a cross-conference affair.

Cavaliers vs Hawks NBA best bet: Hawks -7.5 (-114)
Atlanta gets revenge for the defeat against the Cavs suffered just two days ago. They’ve been dominant in this matchup when playing at home, winning 8 of the last 9 such games. Cleveland could rest a few key players here given they’ve already guaranteed themselves the #4 seed.

Heat vs Wizards NBA best bet: Under 249.5 (-108)
As bad as the Wizards have been defensively, this number is just too high for me. These two have gone under the total 6 times in 10 meetings, averaging 231.9 points per game during this stretch.

76ers vs Pacers NBA best bet: Over 235.5 (-106)
The Pacers have nothing left to play for, so why not put on one more show for the home fans on the offensive end against a shorthanded 76ers team? These two average 235.2 combined points per game in the last 10 meetings.

Pelicans vs Celtics NBA best bet: Under 223.5 (-106)
The under is 10-4 in the last 14 Pelicans games and 13-7 in the last 20 for the Celtics. The two teams saw just 212 points in the first meeting earlier this year, while the last 10 games head-to-head have averaged 220 points — cashing the under 7 times.

Raptors vs Knicks NBA best bet: Knicks -6.5 (-110)
New York has dominated all meetings so far, winning by double digits and keeping the Raptors under 100 points in 3 of them. There’s still a mathematical possibility they get the #2 seed from the Celtics, so I expect a focused Knicks team to show up here.

Magic vs Bulls NBA best bet: Magic -15 (-110)
Orlando has put together a 4-game win streak, impressing on the offensive end with at least 123 points in 3 of those games. Chicago beat the Wizards in back-to-back games, but it’s hard to take those results seriously, as the Wizards are losing on purpose. Orlando dominates here.

Nets vs Bucks NBA best bet: Nets +9.5 (-105)
It’s been a rough stretch for the Bucks lately. They are in all kinds of shambles right now, so losing to the Nets would not be a surprise at all. Brooklyn just beat them by 6 points in a game played 4 days ago.

Mavericks vs Spurs NBA best bet: Mavericks ML (+870)
It’s very likely the Spurs will rest players here, while the Mavs will go all out for Cooper Flagg to boost his case for the ROY award. Who knows, even a Mavs win isn’t out of the question. I think it’s worth backing them at these odds.

Thunder vs Nuggets NBA best bet: Nuggets -11.5 (-108)
OKC has secured the number one spot, while the Nuggets still need to win to be safe in the #3 seed. They’ve won 10 in a row, putting up incredible numbers offensively. I think they go all out and beat the Thunder reserves by a lot here.
Read our full Thunder vs Nuggets prediction
Grizzlies vs Jazz NBA best bet: Jazz -4 (-106)
It’s the final home game of the season for Utah, and I think they’ll do their best to treat their fans with one more win before it’s all said and done. Memphis has lost 6 games in a row overall and 9 in a row on the road.
Read our full Grizzlies vs Jazz prediction
Timberwolves vs Rockets NBA best bet: Rockets -10.5 (-110)
Houston is still in play for home court and the #4 seed in the West, and a win over Minnesota combined with a Lakers loss to the Suns gets them there. The T’Wolves have struggled a lot lately without Ant Man and Jaden McDaniels, and I don’t expect hem to turn things around against one of the hotter teams in the NBA right now.
Read our full Timberwolves vs Rockets prediction
Warriors vs Kings NBA best bet: Kings +11.5 (-110)
It’s a meaningless game for both sides. Sacramento has done well against the spread lately, covering 5 times in 7 games, and considering it’s their final home game of the season, I don’t think they’ll roll over in front of the home fans on this occasion.
Read our full Warriors vs Kings prediction
Clippers vs Trail Blazers NBA best bet: Clippers +2 (-115)
This is a massive game for both teams, as it’ll decide the #8 seed in the West. If there’s one advantage the Clippers have here, it’s experience. Kawhi has played in a ton of high-pressure games in his career, and the same cannot be said about most of the Trail Blazers roster. LA is the safer pick in this one.
Read our full Clippers vs Trail Blazers prediction
Suns vs Lakers NBA best bet: Lakers ML (+110)
The Suns are locked into the #7 seed, while the Lakers still have everything left to play for. A win keeps them 4th, and despite the injuries to their 2 best players, I expect LeBron to will this team to a victory against what could be a resting Suns squad on Friday.
