Free NBA Picks For Friday April 1, 2022

Raptors vs. Magic, 7:00PM ET

The cue looks to be well and truly back in the rack for the Magic who have lost their last four consecutive games by an average margin of 11 points. For a Raptors team who are by no means safe from a potential date with Brooklyn in a play-in game, total domination is a must. They've won their last four on the bounce, including wins against teams in good form such as Minnesota and Boston, beating those guys with sheer offensive prowess. This one looks pretty black and white.

BET: Raptors -9.5 (-110)

Pacers vs. Celtics, 7:30PM ET

The Celts are licking their wounds after a shock loss to the Heat at home on Wednesday night, but they find themselves in a great bounceback spot against the down-and-out Pacers tonight. Indiana have lost their last five games, giving up an average of 126.2 points over that span. The Celtics have built their identity this year off of resolute defensive numbers but they are also just as powerful on the other end of the floor, going at a clip of 120 PPG over their last five outings. This looks like it could be a game played at a fast pace with a lot of points from the men in green. Only a small score from Indy of 100-105 will see this one easily sail over the points total.

BET: Total points OVER 224 (-110)

Suns vs. Grizzlies, 7:30PM ET

While this might be an early preview of the Western Conference Finals, the make up of the players we'll see on the court in this one will be vastly different to anything we see in the postseason. Memphis appear to be keeping their powder dry with all of their starters listed as either doubtful or already out, in what looks like a deliberate ploy to rest their star players. That leaves the door wide open for Phoenix to dominate; and dominate they should do as they chase rarified air as one of the best regular season teams of all-time.

BET: Suns -7.5 (-108)

🏀 Projected Suns vs. Grizzlies box score
