NBA Picks

Bryan Bash breaks down why the Cavaliers -10 is an inflated number against a Trail Blazers team that’s better on the road and has the offensive firepower to keep this competitive. Portland’s getting zero respect, and that’s exactly where the value is.

Bryan Bash breaks down Spurs vs Magic with the Magic laying 8 points at home. San Antonio’s 6-2 without Wembanyama, and Bash sees major value in the live underdog against an injury-riddled Orlando squad.

The 243.5 Total is the highest-value pick of the night; the Wizards’ 30th-ranked defense (129.7 PPG allowed) and both teams’ high Over rate (66.7%) guarantee a pace-driven, high-scoring affair.

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.
