Thursday NBA plays

One of the most exciting days of NBA basketball we've had since the return, with almost every game looking like an absolute must watch.

If you're anything like us, a great day of basketball is also a great day for betting, so get stuck into our best picks of the day from across the league.

Pelicans @ Kings

Pelicans moneyline (-189*)

A lot of fans saw the format of the return as a way of getting Zion into the playoffs and they finally got their first win in their third attempt on Monday. Take them to do the same again in this one.

Heat @ Bucks

Heat +9.0 (-105*)

With the Bucks a good chance of resting a star or two again, the Heat look good to cover the spread. Even with Butler out, Miami will push Milwaukee right to their limits in this one.

Pacers @ Suns

Suns +3.0 (+100*)

The Suns have been awesome to watch in the bubble so far and with PointsBet offering plus odds on them to cover the spread, make a play then sit back and root for them.

Clippers @ Mavericks

Total points: Under 231.5 (-110*)

Two squads here who will be looking to tighten their D with playoffs around the corner. If the unders doesn’t excite you, Luka to score over 28.5 looks tasty after his performance yesterday.

Blazers @ Nuggets

Blazers moneyline (-175*)

Lillard and co are fighting hard for that eight seed and our model doesn’t see the Nuggets standing in their way tonight.

Lakers @ Rockets

Total points: Under 227.5 (-110*)

With Westbrook in doubt and the Lakers confirmed top seed, this one may not have the sizzle you would expect from these two teams usually. The unders looks like a good play here.
