Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Timberwolves at Pacers at 7 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves are enjoying a strong run, winning nine of their last eleven games. They are motivated to continue this success after a commanding 134-93 home win over the Pelicans on Friday. Julius Randle led the scoring with 20 points, along with six rebounds and five assists. Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards each contributed 17 points, while Rudy Gobert added 14 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists to the team’s effort.
The Indiana Pacers have demonstrated impressive form, winning six of their last seven games. They are set to pursue a fifth consecutive victory following a close 108-103 triumph over the Nets on Saturday. Pascal Siakam led the scoring with 26 points and provided six assists, shooting 10 of 20 from the field. Myles Turner contributed significantly with 22 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks, while Tyrese Haliburton rounded out the performance with 16 points, eight rebounds, and 12 assists.
The Pick:
It is difficult to choose a side in this game without knowing if Edwards will be available for the Timberwolves, as his role is crucial. The Pacers did not impress in their narrow victory against the underperforming Nets on Saturday; however, they have shown strong form recently. I am confident they will prevail in this situation with the current line.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Orlando Magic Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Lakers at Magic at 7 PM ET
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently facing difficulties, having lost six of their last nine games. They are seeking to improve their performance after a disheartening 146-115 home loss to the Bulls on Saturday. Luka Doncic was the top scorer for the team, amassing 34 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Austin Reaves added 25 points and five assists, shooting nine of 13 from the field, while LeBron James contributed 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists. The bench did not perform well, with no player exceeding six points, and Doncic had seven turnovers, while James recorded five turnovers.
The Orlando Magic have been experiencing a downturn, having lost eight out of their last twelve games. However, they are likely to feel more optimistic following a decisive 120-105 victory against the struggling Wizards on Friday. Paolo Banchero was the standout performer, scoring 30 points and contributing eight rebounds and five assists. Franz Wagner supported the effort with 21 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, while Wendell Carter Jr. added 16 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks.
The Pick:
Coming off a solid win against the Wizards, the Magic are looking to build momentum, although they had been struggling prior to that game, which diminishes the excitement of their recent victory. The Lakers, on the other hand, suffered a humiliating defeat on Friday with James back in the lineup, but I expect them to respond positively in this contest. While it is possible for the Magic to achieve a minor upset at home, I am confident that the Lakers will bounce back and cover the spread.
Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Raptors at Wizards at 7 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors find themselves in a challenging phase, having dropped five of their last eight contests. They are looking to snap a four-game losing streak after suffering a heavy 123-89 loss at home to the Spurs last night. Scottie Barnes led the team with an impressive performance, scoring 22 points along with six rebounds and six assists on eight of 11 shooting. RJ Barrett contributed 18 points, and Jamal Shead added 17 points and six assists to the effort.
The Washington Wizards are currently facing difficulties, having lost six of their last eight games. They are eager to put an end to a four-game losing streak after being defeated by the Knicks 122-103 in an away match on Saturday. Jordan Poole led the scoring for the team with 25 points on nine of 17 shooting, while Marcus Smart added 17 points from the bench. Kyshawn George also played a significant role, contributing 15 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists.
The Pick:
It is important to check the lineups ahead of the tip-off, as the Raptors tend to rest players during this phase of the season. Moreover, they are competing in their second consecutive game. Given the uncertainty surrounding player rest, I feel more confident in predicting that the Wizards could achieve an upset in this scenario.
Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Mavericks at Nets at 7:30 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks have been in a difficult position, having lost nine of their last eleven games. However, they found relief by ending a four-game losing streak with a 123-117 home win against the Pistons on Friday. Spencer Dinwiddie led the charge with 31 points and seven assists, shooting nine for twelve. PJ Washington contributed 27 points and four blocks on nine of sixteen shooting, while Klay Thompson added 20 points. Naji Marshall also played a key role, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists.
The Brooklyn Nets are enduring a tough period, having lost 13 of their last 15 games. They are determined to break a streak of three consecutive losses after their 108-103 defeat to the Pacers on Saturday. Trendon Watford was the top scorer for the team, achieving 26 points on nine of 14 shooting off the bench. Cameron Johnson contributed significantly with 20 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, while Keon Johnson supported the effort with 17 points.
The Pick:
These days, it is difficult to back either team with certainty, yet the Mavericks proved their strength by overcoming a formidable Pistons team in their last outing. I am convinced that the collaboration of Dinwiddie, Washington, and Thompson will enable the Mavericks to succeed in this instance.
Philadelphia 76ers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
76ers at Pelicans at 8 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered defeats against both the Spurs and the Hawks. Currently, the team is scoring an average of 110.1 points with a shooting accuracy of 45.6 percent, while conceding 115.7 points at a shooting percentage of 49. Tyrese Maxey leads the team with an average of 26.3 points and 6.1 assists per game, whereas Kelly Oubre Jr. contributes with 15.1 points and 6.1 rebounds.
The New Orleans Pelicans faced losses to the Pistons and Timberwolves. They are currently averaging 110.5 points per game with a shooting accuracy of 45.3 percent while allowing opponents to score an average of 119.5 points on 48.5 percent shooting. Zion Williamson is performing notably with an average of 24.6 points and 7.2 rebounds, and CJ McCollum is contributing 20.8 points along with 3.8 rebounds.
The Pick:
Recently, the Pelicans have faced challenges, losing eight of their last ten contests, and their overall record against the spread this season is 29-42-1. This is only the ninth time since April of the previous year that they have been favored by six or more points. Their track record in these situations is concerning, as they have gone 2-7 ATS in their last nine games as such favorites. While supporting the 76ers may not be a lucrative option, if I must select a side, I would prefer to take the points in a matchup between two teams that are both struggling and eager for the season to conclude.
Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Bulls at Nuggets at 9 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls achieved victories against the Kings and the Lakers. They are averaging 117.1 points with a shooting efficiency of 46.7 percent while permitting 119.8 points at a shooting rate of 46.9 percent. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 18.6 points and 10.1 rebounds, and Coby White is contributing 20 points and 4.4 assists on average.

They are currently averaging 120.7 points per game with a shooting percentage of 50.6, while their opponents score an average of 116.8 points at a shooting rate of 46.7 percent. Nikola Jokic leads the team with an average of 29.1 points and 12.8 rebounds, while Jamal Murray averages 21.5 points and 3.8 rebounds.
The Pick:
The Nuggets are wrapping up a back-to-back game sequence and are still without their leading player, Jokic. On the other hand, the Bulls not only have the advantage of rest but have also won seven of their last nine games, successfully covering the spread in eight of those matches. Additionally, the Bulls have won five of their last seven games as underdogs. Despite last night’s victory, the Nuggets have a 3-7 record against the spread in their last ten games. Oddsmakers continue to overlook the Bulls’ impressive run, and we are reaping the rewards. I will take the Bulls along with the points.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Bucks at Suns at 10 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks triumphed over the Lakers and the Kings. They are currently averaging 114.5 points per game with a shooting accuracy of 48.1%, while their opponents score an average of 112.1 points on 45.3% shooting. Giannis Antetokounmpo is performing exceptionally, averaging 30.2 points and 11.9 rebounds, while Damian Lillard adds an average of 24.9 points and 4.7 rebounds to the team’s efforts.
The Phoenix Suns secured victories against both the Cavaliers and the Bulls. Currently, the Suns have an average of 114.7 points per game with a shooting percentage of 48.1%, while they permit an average of 115.8 points on 46.6% shooting. Kevin Durant is contributing an average of 26.6 points and 6.1 rebounds, whereas Devin Booker is averaging 25.8 points and 4.1 rebounds.
The Pick:
If the Suns continue their successful run, they could potentially surpass the Kings for the ninth seed. This season, they have secured 22 out of their 34 wins at home. I find the Suns’ recent play encouraging, as there appears to be a heightened sense of urgency for change. With one of the Bucks’ top players sidelined, this is a game the Suns ought to win. I am prepared to place my wager on them.
Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks
Celtics at Kings at 10 PM ET
The Boston Celtics triumphed over the Jazz and the Trail Blazers. They are currently averaging 116.7 points per game with a shooting percentage of 46.3 while allowing 108 points on 45.3 percent shooting. Jayson Tatum leads the team with an average of 27.1 points and 8.7 rebounds, and Jaylen Brown follows with 22.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
The Sacramento Kings faced defeats against both the Bulls and the Bucks. Currently, the Kings are scoring an average of 116.5 points with a shooting percentage of 47.8, while they are conceding 115.8 points at a shooting percentage of 47.3. DeMar DeRozan is contributing an average of 22.2 points and 3.9 rebounds, whereas Zach LaVine is averaging 21.7 points and 3.8 rebounds.
The Pick:
The Celtics continue to secure wins, and it is rare to see them favored by such a low-point spread. In fact, this will be only the ninth instance since November where the Celtics are favored by five points or fewer. The Kings are facing their own injury challenges and have just lost two home games as favorites to the Bucks and Bulls. I would need a greater point spread to consider the Kings. Thus, I will take advantage of the favorable line and support the Celtics on the road.
