<h2>Best NBA Betting Picks for Wednesday: 3-Game Parlay Predictions</h2>
<h2>Leg 1: Knicks +11</h2>
Where to Watch New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers
<ul>
<li>Arena: Rocket Arena</li>
<li>Location: Cleveland, OH</li>
<li>Where to Watch: ESPN, FDSOH, Rock Entertainment Sports Network, CW43, MSG</li>
<li>Time: 7:00 p.m. ET</li>
<li>Spread: CLE -11 | Total: 229</li>
<li>Moneyline: CLE -575 | NYK +425</li>
<li><a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/game/new-york-knicks-cleveland-cavaliers-scores-odds-picks-props-april-02-2025/44917a64-dd1c-44fe-a521-49b79effd223">Knicks vs Cavaliers Matchup Page</a></li>
</ul>
The gap between the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/cleveland-cavaliers-depth-chart">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> and the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/new-york-knicks-depth-chart">New York Knicks</a> isn&#8217;t as wide as the betting line implies. Currently sitting third in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the Knicks are more than capable of staying within striking distance of the Cavs tonight. 
Granted, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/karl-anthony-towns/2969">Karl-Anthony Towns</a> remains a game-time decision with a knee injury. Still, the Knicks have proven more than capable of overcoming injuries. Without their leading scorer, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/jalen-brunson/2809">Jalen Brunson</a>, New York has won five of its last six, covering double-digit spreads in three of those contests. Expect a cohesive effort with or without KAT in the lineup.
From an ATS perspective, the Cavaliers are trending in the opposite direction. While they&#8217;ve won four of their last five, the Cavs have covered the spread in only two of those contests. Pointing the lens further back, Cleveland is only 2-7 against the spread over their last nine outings. 
In this one, the betting market has taken a stance against the Knicks, but they can hang tough against a spiraling Cavaliers squad. New York +11 is the play to make.

<h2>Leg 2: Wizards +13</h2>
<h3>Where to Watch Sacramento Kings vs Washington Wizards</h3>
<ul>
<li>Arena: Capital One Arena</li>
<li>Location: Washington, DC</li>
<li>Where to Watch: NBCS-CA, MNMT-2</li>
<li>Time: 7:00 p.m. ET</li>
<li>Spread: SAC -13 | Total: 232</li>
<li>Moneyline: SAC -800 | WSH +550</li>
<li><a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/game/sacramento-kings-washington-wizards-scores-odds-picks-props-april-02-2025/27612822-5bb7-4345-95ba-cfee84c9dc35">Kings vs Wizards Matchup Page</a></li>
</ul>
Wins have been few and far between for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/washington-wizards-depth-chart">Washington Wizards</a> this season, but they&#8217;ve proven to be much more effective at covering spreads. They should be able to keep things closer than anticipated versus the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/sacramento-kings-depth-chart">Sacramento Kings</a> at Capital One Arena. 
Washington&#8217;s 16 wins on the season are dwarfed by their 30 ATS wins. The Wizards are even more proficient against steeper numbers when underdogs of 10+ points, the Wiz are 6-4 against the number over their last 10.
While the Kings are the superior team, they consistently underachieve relative to the spread. Sacramento is just 30-42-3 against the spread this season, including 2-5 over their last seven. 
From a spread perspective, the Wizards are the superior team. We expect them to flex those muscles en route to another ATS win versus the Kings.

<h2>Leg 3: Pelicans +17.5</h2>
Where to Watch New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers
<ul>
<li>Arena: Intuit Dome</li>
<li>Location: Inglewood, CA</li>
<li>Where to Watch: GCSEN, FDSSC</li>
<li>Time: 10:30 p.m. ET</li>
<li>Spread: LAC -17.5 | Total: 218</li>
<li>Moneyline: LAC -1700 | NOP +950</li>
<li><a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/game/new-orleans-pelicans-la-clippers-scores-odds-picks-props-april-02-2025/9a7495bb-3eae-4c05-843a-dfa860733822">Pelicans vs Clippers Matchup Page</a></li>
</ul>
It&#8217;s been a busy stretch for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/la-clippers-depth-chart">LA Clippers</a>, but they&#8217;re not done yet. After a hectic four-game Eastern Conference road trip, the Clippers return home for a showdown versus the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/new-orleans-pelicans-depth-chart">New Orleans Pelicans</a>. Fatigue could be a limiting factor as they take on an improving Pelicans squad. 
LA played three games in four nights, traveling from Cleveland to Brooklyn and then Orlando. Tonight&#8217;s battle at the Intuit Dome is their fourth game in six days, all of which have taken place in different arenas. Moreover, the Clippers could be on the verge of offensive regression. They put up above-average points in three straight, meaning Monday&#8217;s 96-point effort could signify things to come. 
Injuries have been a limiting factor on the season, but the Pelicans have made significant strides with their most recent efforts. New Orleans is 3-3 over its last six, corresponding with a 4-1-1 record against the spread. Improved defensive efficiency has been their most significant asset. The Pelicans have held two of their previous three opponents to 99 or fewer points. 
New Orleans&#8217; improved defensive play comes at a time when we&#8217;re anticipating offensive regression from the Clippers. Sharp money is on the Pels in this one.
