NBA Predictions for 06/03/2025
The Celtics are the favorites as they meet with the Blazers: Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers
- Date: 06/02/2025
- Tip Off: 0:00 UTC
- Second-placed in the East, the Celtics, with a 43-18 record, will take on the Blazers, currently 12th in the West with a 28-34 record. The Celtics have won the last four H2H meetings by 14 points or more.
The defending champions, the Boston Celtics, bounced back in style after two defeats and beat the Denver Nuggets 110-103 on Sunday. It was the Celtics’ third home win in four games, during which they allowed their opponents to score 105 or fewer points.
The turning point was the Celtics’ success from the arc as they made 41.2% of their shots (14 of 34). The Portland Trail Blazers are in good form coming into this game, having won five of their last six games, and the only defeat in this period was against the Cavaliers in overtime. The Blazers overcame the 76ers in Philadelphia last time out by 119-102 in a game where Simmons scored 34 points for the visitors. Portland made 57.8% of their shots from mid-range. Considering the H2H advantage of the Celtics, we will back a home win.
Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction: Celtics to Win with a -5.5 Point Handicap
Two bottom-of-the-table teams meet in this matchup: Washington Wizards vs Utah Jazz
- Date: 06/03/2025
- Tip Off: 0:00 UTC
- The Wizards, who are at the bottom of the table in the East with an 11-49 record, will host the Jazz, who are last in the West with a 15-46 record. The Utah Jazz won the last three H2H meetings.
With the 106-90 road defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat in the previous game, the Washington Wizards suffered their third loss in five games. The Wizards made just 36.9% of their shots, and their best scorer was Middleton with 16 points. Playing at home, the Wizards have lost 13 of their last 14 games. The Utah Jazz also suffered defeat in their last game when they hosted the Detroit Pistons and went down by 134-106. It was the Jazz’s fourth defeat in four games. Playing on the road, the Utah Jazz are on a nine-game losing streak. With both teams’ shooting percentages quite low in recent games and their average points per game being 108.1 for the Wizards and 112.3 for the Jazz, we predict under 225.5 points in this game.
Washington Wizards vs Utah Jazz Prediction: Under 220.5 Points
The Nuggets to make up for their recent losses: Denver Nuggets vs Sacramento Kings
- Date: 06/02/2025
- Tip Off: 02:00 UTC
- Third-placed, the Denver Nuggets with a 39-22 record, will face off against the Sacramento Kings with a 32-28 record. The Nuggets won the last three H2H meetings.
In a series of four road games by the Nuggets, they won two and lost two. Their last game was in Boston, where they went down to the Celtics 110-103 in a game where they were up to par in almost every stat but still wasn’t enough to win. The Nuggets have won eight of their last nine home games, with their only defeat coming in the last game at the hands of the Lakers.
The Sacramento Kings recorded their fourth consecutive win by beating the Mavericks in Dallas on Tuesday. It was a tremendous defensive display by the Kings, forcing the Mavericks to commit 14 turnovers and allowing them to shoot just 26.9% from the arc. The Nuggets will be eager to bounce back in this game, and we think their experience will win them the game.
Denver Nuggets vs Sacramento Kings Prediction: The Nuggets to Win
The Clippers are expected to bounce back in this game: Los Angeles Clippers vs Detroit Pistons
- Date: 06/03/2025
- Tip Off: 03:30 UTC
- The Clippers, who are seventh in the West with a 32-28 record, will square off against the Detroit Pistons, who are currently sixth in the East with a 35-27 record. The Clippers have won the last five H2H meetings in Los Angeles.
The Clippers are not in their best shape, as they lost five of their six games, with the last two being against city rivals the Lakers. In those two games, the Clippers made less than 45% of their shots, and despite Leonard’s efforts in the last game with 33 points and ten rebounds, they still lost. Maybe, it is relevant to host the Pistons, who haven’t beaten the Clippers in LA in five games. The Pistons, on the other hand, are in superb form, winning ten of their last 11 games. They had an amazing offensive performance on Tuesday, beating the Jazz 134-106 on the road. The Pistons made 55% of their shots and 78.4% from mid-range. Against such opposition, we can’t predict a home win, and we prefer to bet on over points.
