Now that the 2025 NBA postseason has begun, the basketball betting market is hotter than ever. CBS Sports will be providing daily picks for the duration of the postseason. Sam Quinn will make at least one pick for every game between now and the NBA Finals.

We get three more Game 2s on Wednesday. The Magic and Celtics are shipping up to Boston, while the Heat and Cavaliers meet at East 1999. The final matchup is one of the postseason’s most anticipated draws, with the Jimmy Butler-backed Warriors looking to go up 2-0 against the pugnacious and surprise second-seeded Rockets.

Houston's offensive woes shone in its 95-85 loss against the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their first-round series. Heading into the playoffs, many analysts were doubting the Rockets, and last night's performance proved them right for now.
