NBA Basketball Picks

The Denver -11.5 spread is vulnerable due to the Aaron Gordon injury, making the Over 236.5 Total the highest-value pick; the Kings’ 28th-ranked defense will be shredded by Jokic and Murray at altitude.

Bryan Bash breaks down Clippers vs Hornets as LA limps into Charlotte after getting destroyed by Orlando. The market’s disrespecting the home team in a classic trap spot for the road favorite.

The Pistons’ -8.5 spread is undervalued given their 11-game winning streak and the Bucks’ catastrophic injuries (Giannis, Prince, Porter Jr. OUT); Detroit is the definitive sharp play to cover the number.

Bryan Bash breaks down Knicks vs Magic with the Knicks as 1.5-point road favorites despite their 1-4 road record. Orlando’s 6-3 at home without Banchero, and Bash sees major value on the Magic getting points at the Kia Center.

Bryan Bash breaks down Wizards vs Raptors with Toronto laying 13.5 points against the NBA’s worst team. Is this spread a trap, or should you fade Washington? Bash identifies the smart play in this Eastern Conference mismatch.

The Celtics are laying 15 points against a 2-12 Nets squad they just beat by 14. Bryan Bash breaks down why this massive spread is too much to lay in a November matchup, even against Brooklyn’s struggling road warriors.

Bryan Bash breaks down Pacers vs Cavaliers with the Cavs laying 14 points at home. Is this a trap line on a desperate Indiana team with serious scoring punch, or is Cleveland’s 10-6 record worth two touchdowns? Bash gives his best bet.

Bryan Bash breaks down Pelicans vs Mavericks with both teams decimated by injuries. With Poole and Davis out, this total of 232.5 is begging to go under. Bash hammers his best bet in this Western Conference basement battle.

Bryan Bash breaks down Thunder vs Jazz with OKC laying 16.5 on the road. The 15-1 Thunder look dominant, but with key injuries and Utah’s 4-3 home record, this spread is inflated. Bash sees value on the home dog in this matchup at the Delta Center.

Bryan Bash breaks down Warriors -7.5 vs Trail Blazers at Chase Center. Golden State’s 5-0 at home, but their 9-8 overall record and Portland’s offensive firepower with Avdija (25.9 PPG) make this spread look inflated. Bash sees value on the dog.
