NBA Picks

The Hawks visit the Wizards at Capital One Arena on Saturday night as a -8 road fav. Is a 7-7 team with a 4-10 ATS mark worthy of laying eight points on the road, even if it against a 2-13 Washington squad? Read our betting preview and find out.

Trend players may be licking their chops when the Pelicans roll into LA to take on the Clippers. New Orleans has been a bettor’s best friend in this series getting the point spread win in nine of the last ten meetings including four straight ATS. Read on to see if our NBA capper rides or bucks the trend.

Just when we thought the Portland Trail Blazers were in tank mode, they go out and win a game vs. the Wizards. They come in as +12 underdogs with a unit that has something to prove; Playing time! Can they cover the double digit spread? Or will they go back to getting blown out by 50? Get Joe’s Port/Atl pick here!

If you watched the Phi/Orl game yesterday you’d have noticed that the Sixers aren’t playing good basketball right now. Shooting 43% and allowing 49% from the field is a recipe for disaster. They get Denver Monday night off a back-to-back and are only favored by -2.5 which tells us the bookies think Denver is going to win the game straight up. Get Joe’s Nuggets/Sixers pick here!

The Oddsmaker may be putting much weight into the trends handicapping the Suns with a -8.5 line. They have covered the past five in this series including both matches this season. Does Joe go with the chalk or take the points and back the Lakers.

The Hawks road win vs. the Spurs last night by 11 points at San Antonio last night didn’t impress bookmakers as they opened as +11 underdogs at Atlanta Sunday. State Farm Arena hasn’t been friendly to Indy, as they’ve dropped their last couple games there by double digits. Get Joe’s Ind/Atl point spread prediction here!
