NBA Basketball Picks

The Lakers own a stout defensive front led by…Javale McGee! Yes – Javale McGee! But at the same time, they ain’t the ’85 Bears, and we can expect that the 1-2 punch from Westbrook and Paul George will be enough to penetrate that wall. But can they cover the sportsbook’s 10 point spread? KC has the NBA pick.

After doling out a standard-for-him 46 points and 14 rebounds on Monday, the Brow faces a much tougher opponent tonight. While a bad game for AD is a great game for 98% of the rest of the league, he can’t be anything less than excellent if the Pelicans want any chance of winning. It could be worse, the game could be next week when his old pal Demarcus is at the five. KC has the NBA pick.

The Sixers enjoy playing a physical brand of basketball. It is for this reason that Philly is known as one of the best rebounding teams on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Sixers generate a fourth-ranked 47.3 offensive boards per game. The 76ers average a sixth-ranked 43.5 boards per contest in terms of defensive rebounding. How much does this edge on the glass matter here in a game that bookies have Sixers -6? Keith Franks offers his free NBA pick!

The Pelicans are finally back to a full, healthy roster, but in an unforgiving Western Conference, it may be too little, too late. NOLA’s next seven road games are versus the Clippers, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Rockets, and Spurs. Sportsbooks have the Pels as 3 point favorites tonight. Can they start this difficult stretch off with a road win, or cover, versus the Clippers?

The 3-18 on the road Cavs play the 14-8 at home Lakers in the last game on the Sunday night card at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The consensus point spread line has the Lakers as a -9.5 point favorite with the total line offered in the 218.5 to 219 range depending on where you get down. NBA capper Keith Franks takes a look at the game and gives out his opinion on where your bets should land.

This is the part of the movie when the hero (Russell Westbrook) goes through some type of montage. It’s right after his daughter gets kidnapped or his wife gets murdered or his dog goes missing. Right now, Westbrook is in his house stockpiling his weapons, doing pull-ups and push-ups, and mapping out the blueprint for his revenge. Is the revenge angle a factor to consider here? KC breaks down the match up.

To cover the number, Utah is just going to need to do what they do best: lock all windows and doors and hope for the best. Donovan Mitchell has shown signs of life on offense, although his lack of efficiency still leaves something to be desired. Can Utah take advantage of a hobbled Lake Show? Read the analysis.

Historically known as a rivalry, it has been anything but that as the Pacers have had the upper hand in this series as of late. The Pacers defeated New York in the last four meetings. This gap in talent is evident by the size of the spreads. New York was an 11 point dog in the last meeting and opened in this one as an 8.5 dog. Can the Knicks continue to cover with the points? Franks has your NBA prediction!
