Our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered the best bet of the day, taking place in the Pacers vs Cavaliers matchup. In this matchup, our model has determined that Cavaliers -7.5 is a solid wager to place in tonight’s NBA slate. With the series 3-1 in the Pacers favor, the Cavaliers will have to hustle in order to come out on top. Our model suspects that with the Cavaliers being at home tonight, it’ll give them just enough edge to rack up points and cover tonight’s number. In their last win, they were able to finish with a score of 126-109 while in Indiana. We can expect to see the Cavs leave everything they have on the court knowing that tonight could be their last night of the 24/25 season.

Our next best bet our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered takes us to Oklahoma City where the Nuggets vs Thunder get ready to face off. Tonight marks the fourth game of the series, with it split down the middle 2-2. Our model suspects that with the Thunder being at home, they’ll have just enough of an edge to be able to pull through and cover this number. In the Thunders last win at home, they were able to win with a total score of 149-106. We suspect that they’ll replicate that tonight, with the Thunder covering the spread and leading the series 3-2.
