These two teams have had opposite results of late. The Sixers are coming off two straight wins and the Kings two losses. Philly is rested and hasn’t played since Tuesday while the Kings lost to the Celtics last night. But are these obvious betting factors enough to justify the Sixers as 9.5 point favorites at most sportsbooks? Keith Franks has your pick.

Boston was able to utilize the Stan Van Gundy “FORM A ****ING WALL!” defense last year against both Antetokounmpo and Ben Simmons, and there’s no doubt that Coach Spo has mimicked the strategy. If they can control the pace while somewhat limiting Giannis in the paint, the Heat do have a chance at the underdog cover here. But are the odds good enough at +5? KC has your NBA pick.

The Celtics have won the last three games versus the Sacramento Kings. The Kings and Celtics last met in March in SacTown where the Kings fell to the Celtics by a score of 111-109. Is Boston’s 3 game win streak a sign that a new Cs team is upon us? Keith breaks down the game and gives his basketball pick!

Lebron James owns the Raptors. He’s 22-6 in the regular season and 10-2 in playoffs. But it was Serge Ibaka who gave a Lebron-style whooping on the Lake Show with 34 & 10 at 88% FG% & 3-3 FT in last meeting. Ibaka is suspended tonight & LA is still getting 10 points at most sportsbooks. Is this a betable angle for Lakers backers? KC gives his NBA prediction.

The Nets are getting everyone involved each and every game. All five starters scored in double-digits in the team’s last game versus the Pistons and the leading scorer was Spencer Dinwiddie. Brooklyn has won 5 in a row coming in to Oklahoma City. The Nets longest win streak was 7 back in December. Matt Lowry looks at if the nets can keep it going and if they are a good underdog bet.

With a quiet leader such as Jokic in the fold, there are bound to be games where they lack proper motivation. Richard Jefferson describes them last year as “the quietest locker room [he’s] ever been around.” Overlooking a weakened Timberwolves team can be easy to do as we approach the end of the regular season, and Denver’s heart might not be in it. Can Denver cover the bookie’s monster spread? DJ has the NBA prediction.

The most important factor in this matchup may be controlling the glass. The Clippers have the energizer bunny bros in Pat Beverley and Montrezl Harrell, and they would die on the court before surrendering a 50/50 ball. Boston has historically struggled at keeping opponents off of the offensive boards, and if the Clips can grab extra possessions for Gallinari and Lou Will to work their magic, the Celtics might be leaving LA with only LeBron’s head in their bag.

The Rockets took advantage of a Joel Embiid-less 76ers on Friday and were able to beat them by double digits. With that win, Houston has now won seven games in a row putting them in third place in the West. They are three games behind the Nuggets for second place, The Rockets will likely make it 8 straight as they open today’s game as 8 point favorites but can they get bettor’s the win against the spread?

The Indiana Pacers travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers in Sunday NBA betting action. The opening line for this game has the host as a -5.5 point favorite with a total line of 221 points. The betting trends favor the road team in this series with four consecutive wins and point spread covers. Our handicapper Matt looks to buck the trend. Find out why.
