Dallas Mavericks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Mavericks at 76ers at 7 PM ET

The Dallas Mavericks are currently experiencing a downturn, having lost eight out of their last twelve games. Their recent performance may still be affected by a significant defeat against the Cavaliers, where they were overwhelmed with a score of 144-101 on the road this past Sunday. Jaden Hardy was the standout player for the Mavericks, contributing 21 points from the bench, while Dante Exum added 14 points. Additionally, both Naji Marshall and Kylor Kelley scored 12 points each. Klay Thompson had a particularly challenging game, managing only two points on a shooting performance of one for ten.

After a successful four-game winning streak, the Philadelphia 76ers seem to have hit a rough patch, now striving to avert a third straight loss following their 118-110 setback against the Celtics on Sunday. Tyrese Maxey led the scoring for the team with 34 points and six assists, shooting nine of 21 from the field. Kelly Oubre Jr. supported the effort with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while Guerschon Yabusele added 21 points on eight of 13 shooting.

The Pick:

The Mavericks are expected to respond vigorously following their recent humiliating defeat, yet the potential return of several injured players for the 76ers complicates the situation. It is challenging to confidently support either team, but it is likely that the Mavericks will demonstrate a strong reaction in this matchup.

Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Celtics at Cavaliers at 7:30 PM ET

The Boston Celtics are enjoying a strong run, having won six of their last eight matches. They are poised to secure their fourth consecutive win after a solid 118-110 away victory against the 76ers on Sunday. Jayson Tatum led the charge with an impressive performance, scoring 35 points, along with seven rebounds and 11 assists. Jaylen Brown contributed significantly with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, while Kristaps Porzingis added 18 points and five blocks. Derrick White also made a valuable contribution, finishing with 17 points and nine assists.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are experiencing a resurgence as they aim for their fifth straight win, having comfortably defeated the Mavericks 144-101 in a home game on Sunday. Sam Merrill emerged as the leading scorer with 27 points off the bench, complemented by Evan Mobley's impressive performance of 22 points, 11 rebounds, and four blocks. Darius Garland also made a significant contribution, finishing with 17 points and 10 assists.

The Pick:

This season, the teams have clashed twice, with the Celtics emerging victorious by a margin of three points in November, while the Cavaliers claimed a win with a score of 115-111 in December. It is difficult to foresee anything other than a closely fought battle, particularly as both teams enter this matchup following commendable victories. Although arguments can be made for either side, I am inclined to predict that the Cavaliers will secure a narrow win at home again.

Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Rockets at Nets at 7:30 PM ET

The Houston Rockets have shown signs of slowing down in their recent games, as they seek to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat after falling to the Knicks 124-118 in an away match last night. Amen Thompson was the team's leading performer, achieving a triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Jalen Green also made a significant contribution with 21 points, five rebounds, and five assists, while Cam Whitmore came off the bench to score 18 points.

The Brooklyn Nets seem to have put their difficult seven-game losing streak behind them, now targeting a third straight victory after a commanding 110-98 triumph over the Rockets on Saturday. Ziaire Williams led the charge with 21 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks. D'Angelo Russell contributed 18 points, Nic Claxton added 17 points, and Keon Johnson rounded out the scoring with 13 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.

The Pick:

Although the Rockets have cooled off slightly with three wins in succession and are currently playing their second game in a back-to-back scenario, they continue to be favored despite their defeat to the Nets on Saturday. The Nets enjoy the advantage of extra rest, having not participated in a game since their last meeting. Nonetheless, I believe the Rockets will respond strongly and achieve a decisive win in this contest.

New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Knicks at Raptors at 7:30 PM ET

The New York Knicks have been performing exceptionally well, winning six out of their last seven games. They are keen to continue this positive trend after a thrilling 124-118 home win against the Rockets last night. Jalen Brunson was instrumental in the victory, scoring 42 points and providing 10 assists with a shooting accuracy of 14 out of 27. Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each contributed 22 points, while Josh Hart added 19 points, along with eight rebounds and five assists.

The Toronto Raptors are enjoying a strong run, having claimed victory in eight of their last ten contests. Following their recent home win against the Clippers, which ended with a score of 115-108 on Sunday, the team is eager to sustain this positive trend. RJ Barrett was instrumental in the win, scoring 20 points and dishing out seven assists. Scottie Barnes supported the effort with 15 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, while Jakob Poeltl contributed a double-double, finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists.

The Pick:

The Knicks enter this matchup as the clear frontrunners, bolstered by their recent success and a notable comeback win over the Rockets last night. Nevertheless, the Raptors should not be underestimated, as they have been performing well with eight wins in their last ten outings. Although the Knicks are an attractive option at the modest line, I anticipate that the Raptors will continue their impressive run with another upset victory at home.

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Heat at Bulls at 8 PM ET

The Miami Heat secured a victory against the Spurs but suffered a defeat to the Cavaliers. Currently, the team is averaging 110.8 points per game with a shooting percentage of 45.7, while permitting 110.6 points on 46.2 percent shooting. Tyler Herro is contributing an average of 23.8 points and 5.5 rebounds, whereas Jimmy Butler is averaging 17 points and 5.2 rebounds.

The Chicago Bulls faced a loss to the Pistons but triumphed over the Raptors. At present, the Bulls are scoring an average of 116.5 points with a shooting accuracy of 46.6 percent, while allowing 119.9 points at a shooting rate of 47.2 percent. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 19.9 points along with 10.4 rebounds, and Coby White is contributing 18.4 points and 4.6 assists per game.

The Pick:

The Bulls are currently in a free fall, recording a 3-7 mark both against the spread and straight up in their last ten contests. They have also traded away their best player, Zach LaVine. Their home record stands at a disappointing 9-16 this season, indicating that the United Center is not providing the expected support. On the other hand, the Heat are playing more effectively and are in better health. They cannot afford to lose games like this if they are intent on evading the play-in tournament. As such, I will place my confidence in the Heat and take the points.

Los Angeles Lakers vs LA Clippers Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Lakers at Clippers at 10 PM ET

The Los Angeles Lakers achieved victories against the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks. They are currently averaging 112.2 points per game with a shooting percentage of 48.1, while their opponents are scoring an average of 112.3 points on 47 percent shooting. LeBron James is averaging 24 points and 7.6 rebounds, while Austin Reaves contributes 18.4 points and 4.3 rebounds.

The LA Clippers secured a victory against the Hornets but suffered a defeat to the Raptors. Currently, the Clippers are averaging 110.3 points per game with a shooting percentage of 47.2, while they are permitting 107.2 points on 45.3 percent shooting. Norman Powell is contributing an average of 24.1 points and 3.6 rebounds, whereas James Harden is averaging 21.6 points and 5.8 rebounds.

The Pick:

The favored team has triumphed in eight of the last ten encounters between the Lakers and the Clippers. In fact, the Clippers have emerged victorious in seven of those ten matchups against the Lakers. The Lakers must integrate their players effectively before they can be relied upon to compete against strong opponents. The recent trade has hindered their progress, as Luka is currently unavailable and AD is not present to support LeBron. I would recommend backing the Clippers and the points.

Indiana Pacers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction 2/4/25 NBA Picks

Pacers at Trail Blazers at 10 PM ET

The Indiana Pacers emerged victorious against the Hawks and the Jazz. They are currently averaging 116.2 points with a shooting percentage of 49.2, while their opponents are scoring an average of 115 points at a shooting rate of 47.3 percent. Pascal Siakam is averaging 20.5 points and 7.4 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton contributes an average of 18.2 points and 3.7 rebounds.

The Portland Trail Blazers triumphed over the Suns and the Magic in their recent games. The team is presently averaging 108.8 points with a shooting accuracy of 45.2 percent, while they allow 114.6 points on 47.2 percent shooting. Anfernee Simons is contributing an average of 18.2 points and 2.8 rebounds, and Shaedon Sharpe is averaging 17.4 points along with 3.9 rebounds.

The Pick:

The Trail Blazers have successfully defeated the Suns on two separate occasions, in addition to their earlier victories against the Magic and the Bucks. The cause of this recent improvement in the Trail Blazers' performance remains unclear, but it is certainly noteworthy and has financial implications. It is plausible that this winning streak may not last much longer. Nonetheless, I am inclined to support the Trail Blazers, taking into account their recent accomplishments and the confidence displayed by the team.
