We have NBA picks and predictions for Wednesday, October 29th, which features the Hornets vs. Heat, Kings vs. Thunder, and Knicks vs. Bucks.
Our picks include a best bet and NBA same game multi, and we’re looking forward to the NBA action this weekend.
Hornets vs. Heat Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Heat have a few injuries to contend with, but it hasn’t stopped them posting wins. They scored good wins over Memphis and New York, with the win over the Knicks standing out as a top effort considering the circumstances.
Norman Powell went off for 29 points, and he could have another big game against a Hornets team coming off an easy win over Washington. However, the Hornets aren’t always the most consistent team in the NBA.
The Heat are one of the best-coached teams, which should see them win and cover the –5.5 spread on Wednesday.
—
Same Game Multi
Bam Adebayo is the heart and soul of the Heat team, and he has made a positive start to the season. He scored 19 points against the Knicks, and he should fancy his chances of scoring more against the Hornets defence.
Conversely, LaMelo Ball could struggle to score. The Heat play a different brand of defence, and although he has been impressive so far, his scoring average could come to a crashing halt. Under 26.5 points is a good NBA multi bet inclusion.
The 239.5-point line is sizable, so we’re taking the under. The Heat are known for making games into tight defensive affairs.

Kings vs. Thunder Predictions
—
Best Bet
We are loving the +10.5 line for the Kings. They have one of the best rosters in the NBA, and although they don’t always put it to good use, this is their best chance to beat the defending champions on Wednesday.
Playing on the road isn’t easy, but with the Thunder coming off a tough game against Dallas, the Kings are fresh and ready to fire. The likes of Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine should have big games, and that’s a good three-headed attack to have.
Covering spreads against the Thunder isn’t easy, but getting a double-figure line is too attractive to pass up.

Same Game Multi
After three below-par games, we expect Sabonis to have a better performance. He’s a good player in the paint, and he should want to go toe-to-toe with Chet Holmgren down low. We’re happy with the 15.5-point line, which is worth including in NBA same game multi picks.
Dennis Schroder comes off a massive game in the assists department, and the 4.5 line is lower than expected. He should have another good game, and he has plenty of scorers to give the ball to, so expect another big total.
We predict the Kings scoring a good total, so over 227.5 is likely to cash in what should be a high-scoring contest at Paycom Center.

Knicks vs. Bucks Predictions
—
Best Bet
There isn’t much between the Knicks and Bucks, but we like what the Knicks have done so far. They are 2-1 following their first loss of the season to the Heat, but a bounce back performance is in order.
Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are a dynamic duo, and it’s only Giannis Antetokounmpo who is tough to stop on the Bucks. If they can limit the Greek Freak to under 28 points, the Knicks should have too much firepower.
We expect late money to come for the Knicks, so it could pay to take the current odds before they shorten.

Same Game Multi
Brunson is a key player for the Knicks, and we’re backing him to lead the way. He is one of the more professional players in the NBA, and he’s always a good bet for punters. Therefore, include over 27.5 points in NBA multi bets.
Antetokounmpo has a high line of 31.5 points, and although he’s a great player, we think he’ll have around 27-28 points. The Knicks play good interior defence, so he could struggle to get easy buckets.
Because of that, we’re including under 230.5 points. The final score should be around 115-112.
