NBA Basketball Picks

The Rockets come into this one off a 111-106 defeat suffered while visiting the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Houston led by 19 point at one point but coughed up the game to Mr. “Playoff-Off Mode”. Those are the kinds of losses that can start off a losing streak. Sportsbooks have them as an 8.5 point underdog. So, how many points do we need to give the Rockets a look here? Franks has your NBA pick!

The Spurs are the best team in the NBA when it comes to shooting the three-pointer, hitting a stellar 40.9% of their attempts. Keith Franks believes the big question is whether or not the boys in black can keep that shooting up in a hostile country… Canada! Check out Keith Franks’s pick as he aims to add to the Franks Bank!

Both teams are looking to win their first game since the all-star break. Both teams will also be factoring in that this is the first game of a double header. Will playing tomorrow mean that a team down by a lot will wave the white flag early to get rest for game 2? Should we expect not to see any backdoor covers? Keith Franks has the NBA pick.

A central narrative surrounding this game is the potential history in the making as James Harden is now looking at extending his 30-point game streak to 32 games which would place him second all-time ahead of legend Wilt Chamberlain. But sports bettors tend to overvalue these situations.

This is a battle of hot teams. The Celtics went into the All-Star break on a two-game winning streak, capped off by a win at home against the Detroit Pistons on February 13th. The Celtics defeated the Pistons 118-110. The Milwaukee Bucks remain the best team in the league in terms of wins and losses. Milwaukee has won eight of their last nine contests overall. Can the Celtics stary within 5 points to cover the bookie’s line against a team that is a terrible matchup on paper? Keith Franks gives his NBA pick!

The slam dunk contest is one of the most popular events come All-Star Weekend each season. Get Kyle’s take on the participants and his opinion on how he thinks the 2019 NBA AT&T Slam Dunk Contest will unfold.

Kyle on the NBA 3 point Contest: When I saw the announcement that Buddy Hield was going to be in the 3-point contest, I could not find the odds fast enough… But I was not expecting to find a 4/1 waiting for me, and it’s yet another reason why sportsbooks always beat the public. Buddy Hield’s perfect jump shot was a secret that I thought only I knew about it, but apparently, it’s in the public knowledge that the man can stroke it. Here are my value picks for the All Star event!

These two squads have met just once this season with the Wolves getting the home win and the money and they’ll go at it again at the Target Center in Minneapolis tonight. Speaking of the home team, the host has won five of the last six in this series dating back to 2018 making Minnesota a decent proposition to get the outright win tonight. See what Keith Franks is picking tonight.

Golden State seems a step slow, they still can lean on other facets of their game to come through with a W. They are statistically a fairly average defensive team, but they can shut down anyone on any given night with KD, Klay and Draymond running the show. The question for bettors as we get to the backside of the mountain that is the regular season, can teams bring energy and pick off the Warriors on a given night? Not a series but in one game at home on a February 13th? Bookmakers give the Blazers about a 2 to 1 shot. Kyle Cash offers his NBA prediction.
