Sunday’s NBA slate on October 25 served up five spread picks across a variety of matchups, from an early Brooklyn-Indiana battle to a lopsided Oklahoma City line that drew attention. The Nets hosting the Pacers, the Knicks taking on Orlando at home, and Sacramento trying to stay competitive against Memphis rounded out a full day of action. Meanwhile, a massive 16.5-point cushion for the LA Clippers against OKC and a tight Detroit-Philadelphia spread added some interesting angles for bettors to consider.
XO Sports finished the day 2-3 on its top picks. The wins came from the LA Clippers covering the big number against Oklahoma City, who won but only by 9 points, and the Detroit Pistons sneaking past the +1.5 spread against Philadelphia by winning outright. The losses stung a bit: Brooklyn fell short against Indiana, New York covered the win but not the 7.5-point spread against Orlando, and Memphis edged Sacramento by just enough to sink the Kings cover.
