Free NBA Picks For Thursday October 21, 2021

Mavericks vs. Hawks, 7:30PM (ET)

BET: Total points OVER 224.5 (Best odds -125)

📈 51.3% probability

Points, points, points. Whenever Luka and Trae go head-to-head, it's pretty safe to assume offense will be the main feature, with tonight's game no exception.

This total seems more than attainable for these two teams, with a chance it's cleared by a solid 10-15 points.

Bucks vs. Heats, 8PM (ET)

BET: Bucks at the moneyline (Best odds -120)

📈 59.6% probability

The first of two moneyline plays in this article that would see a team move to 2-0 on the season comes in the form of the reigning champs taking on the Heat.

Milwaukee absolutely destroyed Miami in the playoffs last season and even with the addition of Kyle Lowry, should be able to flex their muscles with a win here.

Based on even just one game, Giannis looks like he might go to another level this season (I know, right?!) and even DPOY contender Bam Adebayo won't be able to slow him down.

Clippers vs. Warriors, 10PM (ET)

BET: Warriors at the moneyline (Best odds -150)

📈 63.2% probability

The Clippers are a bit of mystery this season without Kawhi, meaning we're going to back in the more known commodity, in the Golden State Warriors.

The Dubs looked awesome on opening night, and considering they beat the Lakers even with Curry not shooting well, they should have enough to take care of PG and the Clips here.
