Eleven NBA Games Eleven Correct Predictions? NBA 2K25’s Bold Predictions for Today’s Games

While NBA 2K25 didn't go a flawless eighth of eighth in yesterday's predictions, it did predict the Hawks' and Piston's upset wins. The NBA 2K25 simulations went 5-3 yesterday, while I got a respectable 6-2.

Today, we have 11 NBA games, with plenty of back-to-backs, which can always impact the outcome of a game. So, it will be fun to see if the NBA 2K25 simulations consider this.

Without further ado, let's find out who NBA 2K25 predicts to come out on top in today's games and what bold predictions it has in store for us. At the same time, let's see if I can get all 11 predictions correct.

Magic vs. Pacers Prediction

In a duel between two teams that aim to cement themselves as title contenders and challenge the Celtics for the Eastern Conference crown, NBA 2K25 predicts the Pacers will win 100-109.

According to NBA 2K25, Haliburton will have a fantastic game, posting 25 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds. The always-reliable Pascal Siakam followed his teammate's performance with a double-double, having 20 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists.

The Wagner brothers stood out for the Magic: Moe Wagner scored 25 points, and Frank Wanger scored 23.

The Magic's absence of Paulo Banchero will hurt them in this game. Banchero is the Magic's best player; he can create his own shot, is excellent on the boards, and is a decent passer.

While the Magic are a good defensive team but struggle on offense, being ranked first and 22nd, respectively, the Pacers are the opposite. Indiana likes to play at a high pace, and its goal is to outscore teams rather than lock them down.

I expect the Pacers to come out on top in a very close and exciting game, with Pascal Siakam having a big night.

My Prediction: Pacers to win

76ers vs Cavaliers Prediction

The 76ers are coming off a disappointing performance against the Knicks, and Emiid's season debut was far from what the 76ers faithful were expecting.

On the other hand, the Cavs are firing on all cylinders and are the best team in the Eastern Conference right now. They are playing an unselfish brand of basketball on offense and great defense, with every player knowing their role.

According to the NBA 2K25 simulation, the Cavaliers will win this game 125-122. The backcourt duo of Mitchell and Garland combined for 50 points, while Jarret Allen had 18 points and 17 rebounds.

I think NBA 2K25 predicts this game to be much closer than it will be. The 76ers are on a back-to-back, Embiid is on a minutes restriction, and the 76ers didn't look great against the Knicks.

The Cavs have been playing fantastic basketball, and while the Ohio team will eventually lose, I don't think that will happen in this game. The Cavs will easily grab another win and improve their record to 13-0.

My Prediction: Cavaliers to win, Mitchell over 24.5

Lakers vs Grizzlies Prediction

It's the second time the Lakers and Grizzlies have faced off this season. In the first encounter, the Grizzlies beat the LA team. AD didn't play, but Ja Morant played a significant role in the Grizzlies' win.

Now, the roles are reversed: the Grizzlies are without superstar point guard Ja Morant, while the Lakers have their superstar big man back. Oh, and half of the Grizzlies rotation is also injured.

The NBA 2K25 simulation considered that, predicting the Lakers to grab an easy 115-87 win.

Lebron James led the LA team with a triple-double, scoring 26 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and assisting 10. AD had a monstrous double-double, scoring 21 points and grabbing 25 boards.

On the Grizzlies' side, Jaren Jackson Jr. was the best-performing player, having 22 points and 1 rebound. Curiously, Jaren Jackson Jr. is averaging similar numbers in real life.

I could discuss the statistical rankings of both teams, their playstyles, and their rivalry, but the truth is, that doesn't matter much in this game.

The Grizzlies lack a star player, and most of their bench players are injured. On the other hand, the Lakers have both their stars and the team is healthy.

It's an injury-riddled team against a healthy team, with the injured players being regular starters. In situations like this, I usually go with the healthy team, and I'm doing that here.

My Prediction: Lakers to win, AD over 12.5 rebounds

Kings vs Suns Prediction

This will be the most entertaining game of today, with two evenly-matched teams. However, the absence of Kevin Durant and the Suns being on a back-to-back can turn this game into a one-sided affair.

NBA 2K25 predicts the Kings will win this game 102-110. De'Aaron Fox led the Kings with 20 points, 9 assists, and 2 rebounds. Booker was the Sun's best player, with 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, coming very close to a triple-double.

As mentioned above, the Suns are on a back-to-back and are missing Kevin Durant and Nurkic. The Suns could be better at protecting the rim, while the Kings excel at attacking the basket, and I can see Sabonis having a great night.

I agree with the NBA 2K25 prediction and think the Kings will take this one.

My Prediction: Kings to win, Sabonis over 19.5

All NBA 2K25 Predictions

Here are all the NBA 2K25 predictions for today's games.

I agree with all the NBA 2K25 predictions except for the Nets prediction. I think the Celtics will beat the Nets and bounce back after an unexpected loss to the Hawks.
