NBA Picks

The Pacers have shown they are incapable of toppling the juggernauts; we’re not dealing with a Denver Nuggets-esque team here. They’ve split their series with Boston this season but were subjected to a 27-point drubbing in their previous matchup sans Oladipo. Defensively, guarding Kyrie is always going to be a problem for Indiana. How will they respond to the last bad loss and these defensive assignments? KC gives his NBA prediction.

The Denver Nuggets are not on the radar in terms of winning a championship this year. It’s a cute story and they have some fun players, but the inexperience is going to get them at some point and it just isn’t in the cards. But as winners of 8 of 10 games this is a dangerous team for Houston. Is 5 points enough? KC breaks it down and gives his NBA pick!

Utah’s defense is one of the best in the league. The Jazz sit fourth in the NBA giving up 106 points per game. This is in contrast to the Lakers who sit 24th in the NBA giving up 113.7 points per contest. But we know the Jazz are good and the Lakers are worse than not good. Still, 12.5 is more points than we might see in an entire Buffalo Bills game. Too many for the Lakers? Keith breaks down the sportsbook’s big spread!

We have the displeasure of breaking down a matchup between two of the coldest teams in the league as the Indiana Pacers head to OKC to play their ex-girlfriend Paul George. Indy suffered through a brutal 0-4 West Coast road trip last weekend and now has to travel to OKC and Boston, As for the Thunder, they are either snake bitten or secretly banged up as they’ve lost 5 of their last 6 games. It a stars vs scrubs matchup with the stars favored by 6 points. KC has your NBA pick.

The Wizards and the Lakers last met in December in D.C. where Washington staged an upset as a 3.5-point underdog defeating Los Angeles 128-110. What does that mean in terms of handicapping this game? Absolutely nothing. These are two lottery teams no longer under the illusion that they will have the chance to lose to the Warriors in the playoffs. Keith Franks gives his pick and takes a fresh look.

The Rockets are a rare underdog at +4 at most online sportsbooks. Milwaukee may be uniquely qualified to stop this tea.. Lopez is likely to be attacked on all switches but the Bucks have the ability to play Giannis at center with four wings and try to offset Houston’s isolation plays. Kyle Cash breaks down this matchup and predicts if the Rockets have enough to stay within 4!
