NBA Picks

The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves meetup Thursday night at the Target Center with both teams having played last night and having to travel. The Lakers are a bit banged up and Minnesota has been tough at home. Can they cover the -5? Get our LAL/Min pick here!

The Magic put an end to a lengthy win streak by the Bucks earlier this season with a resounding 112-97 win on their home court. Can they have the same success at Fiserv Forum? Get our betting preview plus point spread pick.

The Heat sure turned it around after a 4-game losing streak winning five straight including some quality road wins over some of the East’s top clubs. They’re banged up a bit but appear like an underlay against the Hawks laying just two points on the spread line.

The Nets were down big in the first half against the Knicks, but roared back in the second to get the win and cover. They’re laying seven tonight against a Cavs team that has lost four of their L5 but has been competitive in their last two defeats. Read on to see where Joe believes the value is.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been white-hot, winners of seven of their last eight games. Their short +3 road underdog spread Thursday tells us oddsmakers think they have a good shot of covering against the Nuggets. Get Joe’s Mem/Den point spread pick here!

The home team has won each of the last three meetings in this series and there’s seemingly always a bunch of scoring when these clubs meet. The Bucks come in as semi-heavy -6 favorites. Can Boston hang with Milwaukee or will the home court advantage continue to prevail? Get Joe’s Bos/Mil pick here!
