Best NBA Totals Today: (5-1 This Week!) Side Bet Picks, Predictions and Odds (January 25)

Updated January 25, 2024 | 11:53 am CDT by Eytan Shander

One up and one down brings our weekly total to 5-1, not bad after three days of work. The TNT double header features the Heat looking to bounce back at home as they host the Celtics, followed by the Kings in Golden State. That’s not the only action, as one of our top plays finds itself in Indy for the Sixers-Pacers battle. Let’s look at the top NBA side and total plays for tonight!

Best NBA Side Bet: Sixers-Pacers

Earlier in the season the Sixers were riding a nice seven game win streak only to have that snapped at home by, you guessed it, the Pacers. The Sixers are out for revenge and are cruising into this game, winners of their last six. The Pacers are still without Tyrese Haliburton while Joel Embiid is not listed on the injury report. Granted, the game is at Indy, but the Sixers are still less than a 6 point favorite. That’s great news for Philly backers as they know the Sixers hit the floor 22-9 ATS as favorites. It’s even better with the line under 7.

The Pacers are clearly missing Halburton as they look to avoid a fourth straight loss. They’ve barely kept above water winning just four of their last ten games. If the Sixers weren’t out for same season revenge this game would seem more of a let down spot for Philly – who hasn’t done their best work on the road. But Philly is 8-1 ATS in same season revenge after losing by 5+ points.

Joel Embiid is out to win the MVP in every game he plays, that’s a massive problem for the Pacers. We lay the points.

Best NBA Total Today Bet: Kings-Warriors O/U 242.5

It was an emotional night to say the least as the Warriors paid tribute to their assistant coach Dejan Miosevic who recently ed away, then proceeded to run the Hawks out of the building. Even Klay Thompson got in the mix, the Warriors were simply too much. The Kings also come off a win on Monday night, giving them a rest advantage of two days. The Warriors have played to the under in seven of the last eight games fitting this exact situation, coming off a back to back while their opponent has two days rest.

Add just the emotional letdown from such a big night, one much larger than basketball, and it’s hard to think both Steph Curry and Thompson start up the Splash Brothers reunion tour. The Kings defense has been lackluster at times, probably putting it nicely, but that’s countered by the overall offensive struggles seen by not just Curry in Golden State.

This also isn’t a low number by any means, it’s just too high to go over. The Kings and Warrirors will play to a high 230’s total, but ultimately fall short. Take the under
