Total Over 224.0 (-110)

I expect this game to be a wide open up and down the court type of game. New York was able to make Boston look bad but it really wasn't good defense it was the fact that Boston couldn't shoot the ball in the Ocean in several of the games. Boston lived and died by the 3. Indiana is one of the best offensive teams in the NBA add that to their lack of defensive skills and this has all the makings of being a high scoring Free wheeling type of game. Note that going back to the 2024 season when Indiana has faced a team with a 60% or higher Win % they have gone 22-8 to the OVER.

Total Over 223.0 (-110)

We're taking Over 223 points on Wednesday in the Eastern Conference Finals matchup between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks.

Mini Breakdown

• Both teams came through as huge underdogs in their semi-final pairings, and we expect that momentum to carry over to their respective offenses on Wednesday. New York's offensive efficiency rating has increased noticeably across their last three starts, well north of their full season average, while Indiana's pace has risen significantly also.

Aaron NeSmith 12+ Points

Nesmith has been consistently delivering, going over 11.5 points in 8 of his last 9 games. He’s averaging 10.2 shot attempts per game and shooting a sharp 52% from the field, showing both volume and efficiency. He’s also hit at least one three-pointer in 38 straight games, giving him a reliable scoring floor. The matchup adds even more value—the Knicks are allowing 21.4 points per game to opposing small forwards. With shooting rhythm, volume, and a favorable matchup, Nesmith is in a great spot to hit this again.

NBA Betting Picks Today, NBA Predictions Tonight 

One of the most refreshing aspects of NBA picks free from WagerTalk is the frequency with which they're offered.  These are not AI picks that are just churned out nonsensically a week in advance.  These NBA picks free that are made available for today and for tonight's NBA games reflect the most recent news, injury reports, trades, matchup evaluations and much more.  They're fresh, they're frequent, and they're spectacular. 
 

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks

ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors.  They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.

Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

Free NBA MoneyLine Predictions

NBA moneyline betting picks are free and common from WagerTalk.  You'll see them every day from WagerTalk's team. NBA moneyline betting could not be simpler. And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.

Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA Predictions 

Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.

If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.

If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!

Props & Parlay NBA Betting Picks - Free NBA Picks & Parlays

WagerTalk gives you free NBA player props and team props throughout the year.  The undisputed online leader in NFL and MLB player props, WagerTalk's expert prop bettors apply that knowledge to NBA props as well. 

Is there a tasty NBA player prop out there that you haven't noticed?  Maybe a not particularly good at rebounding guard is playing against a team that bombs away from long-range and bricks hard.  Maybe that player's over/under rebounds line is something like 3.  Well, in this matchup, he's got a good shot at knocking well past that 3 rebounds, making him a great NBA player prop pick - WagerTalk can find that prop.
