NBA Picks

The Nuggets are playing with a hot hand as they have won four games in a row in the build-up to this match-up. Denver was last on the court on Monday when they were in Boston to face the Celtics and hand them a 114-105 defeat. Sportsbooks expect the Nuggets to have little trouble taking on the John Wall-less Wizards.

These two teams last met on February 12th where Boston extended its winning streak in this series to four games. As a 6.5-point underdog, the Celtics stormed into the City of Brotherly Love and pulled off the upset, The new look Sixers are supposed to flex and show Boston they can’t be beat in a 7 game series. But will Boston, who online sportsbooks have given 2.5 points, follow that script tonight? Franks has the free NBA pick.

Despite his reputation as a B-list star, Kyle Lowry is an important piece for the Raptors. He is out tonight and his absence will not go unnoticed. Toronto’s offense plummets from a Warriors-esque 117.8 Offensive Rating to a Pistons-esque 107.0 Offensive Rating whenever he leaves the court, and they’re about 12.9 points per 100 possessions worse without their PG. Of course, there are also things that Lowry brings to the table that doesn’t show up in a box score. But is his absence enough to play the Thunder tongiht? Kyle Cash has your NBA pick!

Could it possibly get worse than this? In the last three weeks, the Lakers have lost to the 12, 14, and 15-seeds in the West and the 12 and 15-seeds in the East. That is a murderer’s row of teams that are actively not trying to win basketball games. So how do we handicap a Lebron James led team that sportsbooks have opened as 13 point underdogs? KC gives his Lakers vs Bucks prediction!

Most people thought Golden State would have no chance against Harden and the Rockets or Westbrook and the Thunder, especially without Kevin Durant. Because the Dubbs were able to hold off the wolves they still hold a 1-game advantage over the Denver Nuggets for the number 1-seed in the Western Conference. The Warriors are motivated by getting their mojo back and holding off the Nugs. Can they get another step closer with a win as -3 point favorites against the Spurs?
