The NBA action continues this Wednesday and I’ve got NBA betting tips for the primetime matchups. We have the Celtics hosting the Knicks at the Garden in an important East matchup. Then, the Thunder will look to make it 13 straight wins when they take on the undermanned Warriors.
New York Knicks (13-6) at Boston Celtics (11-9)
Wednesday 03/12/2025 at 12:00pm AEDT. Venue: TD Garden (Boston)
The Celtics and Knicks reignite their East rivalry this Wednesday. New York are looking for a 5th straight win but the Celtics are finding form with 7 wins in their last 10.

Last 5 Form
Boston Celtics
Boston have been in good form lately, winning 3 of their last 4. They come off an impressive road win over the Cavs 117-115. Before that, they also ended the Pistons winning streak at home last week.
New York Knicks
New York are looking to make it 5 wins on the trot. They’ve smashed the Raptors by 22 in their last game and also took care of the Bucks at home 118-109.

Best Bet
The trends are screaming Under in this matchup and I tend to agree. Overall, Boston has a 7-3 record against the Under in their last 10 and New York are 6-1 in their last 7. When these two sides, the Under is 4-2 as well. So, I expect defence to be a high priority in this clash.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Celtics against the Knicks.
- 1st Leg – Josh Hart 15+ Points: Hart is offering great value to get past 15 points again. He’s done so in 3 straight games, scoring 20, 19 and 22 pts.
- 2nd Leg – Neemias Queta 8+ Rebounds: Queta can be a rebound beast for Boston. He brought down 18 boards in his last game and averages 9.6 rebounds in his last 5 games.
- 3rd Leg – Jaylen Brown 6+ Assists: Jaylen has been dishing out the assists lately. He had 11 in their win over Cleveland a few days ago and has gone past 6 assists in 3 of his last 4 games.
Oklahoma City Thunder (20-1) at Golden State Warriors (11-10)
Wednesday 03/12/2025 at 3:00pm AEDT. Venue: Chase Center (San Francisco)
The Warriors will look to end the Thunder’s 12 game winning streak when they meet this Wednesday. But can they do it without Steph Curry on the floor? Here are my tips and predictions for this matchup.
| SGM Bet | Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30+ Points – Jimmy Butler 6+ Rebounds – Jimmy Butler 20+ Points | $4.59 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Thunder -12 | $1.94 |
Last 5 Form
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors are 2-2 in this 4 game home-stand with some up and down form. So they’ll need to be at their absolute best to take down the red-hot Thunder.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder have lost a game for a month and they’re going for a league high 13th straight win this Wednesday.

Best Bet
With no Curry, it’s hard to see the Warriors getting close to the best team in the NBA. Golden State are just 1-5 against the spread in their last 6 games and got smashed by the Warriors in the first meeting of the season (24 pt margin). OKC have won 6 straight road games and should have no issues playing in San Fran.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Warriors against the Thunder.
- 1st Leg – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30+ Points: Shai fell below 30 pts last game but it’s pretty rare to see him have rough back to back games. Previously, he has scored 37 pts against the Suns and 40 pts against the Timberwolves. When he faces the Warriors, he has a nice 4-2 record of scoring 30+ pts and he scored 52 pts in his last game at this arena.
- 2nd Leg – Jimmy Butler 6+ Rebounds: In his last 3 games, Jimmy has 8, 5 and 6 boards.
- 3rd Leg – Jimmy Butler 20+ Points: With Curry sidelined, Jimmy Butler will need to be the Warriors #1 scorer. He comes off scoring 20+ pts in back to back games, 24 against the Pelicans and 21 against the Rockets.
