Welcome back everyone. Until college football ends my weekend NBA picks will be spotty so bare with me please. We have a huge slate tonight so, in turn, I have 10 great picks for you. Let’s get started.
CLIPPERS 1H +.5
CLIPPERS +2
CLIPPERS JAZZ TOTAL UNDER 214.5
MAGIC -9
MAGIC KNICKS TOTAL OVER 210
BULLS -2
SIXERS TWOLVES TOTAL UNDER 223.5
ROCKETS 1H -4.5
ROCKETS -8
PORTLAND OKC TOTAL OVER 221
We’ll start with the Clippers Jazz game. The Clippers have looked like the best team in the league so far minus one fluky loss. They lead the league in 3point shooting percentage and the one area of the stout Jazz defense that stand out as weak would be defending the 3 ball. The Clippers have also been the second highest scoring team in the league in the second quarter. Take the Clippers first half and full game while Vegas is still undervaluing them. Also like this total to go under due to the slow pace of the Jazz.
Next up in Orlando, we have sort of a stinker. The Magic, despite another slow start, are huge favorites against the worst team in the league. The Magic have been shooting the ball terribly so we’re looking for them to start hitting shots at home, enough for them to get a double digit win and help the total go over. The knicks have been pathetic on defense.
The Cavs are also one of the worst teams in the league and the Bulls have under achieved thus far. The Bulls can score so if they just play average on defense they should have no problem covering the 2 points on the road.
Unders in Sixers games have been money thanks to the stout defense the Sixers play night in and night out. Also thanks to their abundant amount of turnovers and lack of perimeter scoring. I also like the Sixers moneyline but it is not an official play. The Sixers just keep finding ways to win.
Our most confident picks of the night are these Rockets plays. Before I saw the line I expected the Rockets to be 12-14 point favorites. So when I saw it at 8 I immediately jumped on the first half and full game spreads. Not a lot of explanation needed for these picks. Bet the Rockets and cash your tickets.
To close out the night we have the Thunder who have been a roll lately. They are playing against Portland who has one of the top duos in the league when it comes to scoring. We like this game to be close and go over.
GOOD LUCK!
