NBA Game Picks & Analysis
San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat
Spurs (19-21) at Heat (20-20)
Sunday, 3 p.m. ET
Our Pick: Heat -3.5
Miami aims to end a three-game home skid, powered by Tyler Herro’s efficient scoring (24.2 ppg, 47.7% FG). While San Antonio travels well (7-11 away) and relies on Victor Wembanyama’s all-around impact (24.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 4.1 bpg), the Spurs concede 45.7% shooting—just enough room for Miami’s offense to thrive.
Look for the Heat’s home-court energy and sharper shooting to give them the edge, covering the -3.5 spread.
Denver Nuggets vs. Orlando Magic
Nuggets (25-16) at Magic (23-20)
Sunday, 6 p.m. ET
Our Pick: Nuggets -7.5
Denver heads to Orlando with a five-game road win streak, fueled by an offense scoring 120.3 points—well above the Magic’s 104.1 allowed. Nikola Jokic (league-best 9.7 defensive rebounds) anchors a Nuggets team that outrebounds and outshoots foes, thanks to Michael Porter Jr.’s 51.4% mark.
Despite the Magic’s solid 14-7 record at home, their 8-16 mark against winning opponents suggests the Nuggets’ firepower will be too much to handle, making Denver a strong pick to cover the -7.5 spread.
