NBA Picks
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets Pick
A few months ago, LeBron James was the leader of the title-contending Los Angeles Lakers and making videos declaring himself as “the greatest of all time.” Today, he’s six weeks away from an early summer vacation filled with brown-nosing rappers, tampering with free agents and filming bad sequels to beloved cult classics. The Nuggets are obviously the better team but how will they stack up against the spread? KC takes on the bookmakers and this question with his daily NBA pick.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls Pick
The Sixers have gone 4-2 since Embiid has been sitting to rehab his knee. The Sixers have turned to veteran Amir Johnson to fill in at Center. In his last game for Philadelphia, Johnson produced 13 points, two assists, and five rebounds against Orlando. Can the Sixers keep winning without their big man in the post? Bookmakers think they can tonight, opening the Bulls as 5.5 point underdogs!
NBA Pick: Rockets vs Raptors
The Raptors and Rockets met in January in Houston and the Rockets put together an impressive 125-107 win over Toronto. Can the Raptors return the favor as 3.5 point favorites tonight at home? Keith Franks has your NBA pick!
Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors Pick
I’m not sure whether or not the Boston Strangler was ever officially identified, but I would like to throw Kyrie Irving’s name into the list of potential suspects. A team that Bill Simmons once said was going to “kick everyone’s butt in the East” and “win 67 games” is now on pace for no home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Can the Celtics put a run together in the home stretch for the sake of chemistry? Let’s start by looking at tonight’s game out west against the Warriors where sportsbooks have the Cs as 9 point underdogs.
LA Clippers vs. LA Lakers Pick
After a blistering start to the season, the Clippers have been able to strike a balance between staying competitive now and setting up for the future by trading Tobias for pick. Jerry West is the goddamn logo for a reason and Rivers is building a rep as a coach that can coach even when coaching stars on the Celtics. So which team will be the best is LA? Well, we know that answer but which team will be the best in LA tonight? The Lakers are big 4 point underdogs in a game that can seal their postseason fate. Kyle Cash has your NBA pick.
Houston Rockets vs. Boston Celtics Pick
The Celtics went a putrid 5-6 straight up in February but did start out March on the winning side getting past the Wizards by 11. The Rockets have just one cover in their last six (1-4-1 ATS), but have won four straight. The home side is trending in this match-up taking the last five but that dates back to 2016. Hmm. Check out where Matt’s money is landing on this game.
NBA Pick: Golden State Warriors vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The Golden State Warriors will look to get back on track when they visit the 76ers in Philly. The host catches the visitor on a mini two-game slide and a team that may be missing some important parts tonight. The oddsmaker has the 76ers as -5.5 point home dog with a total line offered up at 236.5. See who our prognosticator is backing tonight.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Los Angeles Lakers Pick
The Bucks enter red-hot as they have won their last six contests overall. Most recently, the Deer suffered a scare as they edged out the pesky Sacramento Kings by a score of 141-140 in overtime on Wednesday in California. The Lakers have teams drooling of late because they can’t defend. Do the Bucks keep the streak alive and cover the spread in LA?
