NBA Picks

ESPN got it right when they chose the Cavs and Sixers to be their featured game of the night Wednesday. Oddsmakers are expecting a close game as they’ve made Philadelphia short -2.5 home favorites. Get our Cle/Phi prediction here!

Neither the Utah Jazz or Memphis Grizzlies are playing that great right now. Is this a spot where we can take advantage of a big 7.5 point spread in a game where both teams are just looking to get off the court and enjoy the upcoming all star break? Get our UT/Mem prediction here!

If there’s one note that OKC can take away from Game 1, it’s this: shoot better. Five made 3s in 33 attempts isn’t going to get the job done against one of the better offensive teams in the NBA. The Russ/Schroder PG combo managed to go 0-11 from downtown. Does an average shooting night from the Thunder make them a good bet against the spread at +2? KC has your NBA prediction.

The Nuggets clearly were not ready for their first playoff game in seven years, and it showed as a home court advantage that took much of the regular season to obtain, was squandered away in less than a few hours. Will they be ready for tonight as 7 point favorites? Matt Lowry gives his NBA pick against the spread.

Unlike the Sixers, the Nets had bench production. Most notably, Caris LeVert dropped 23 points and shot 8 of 18 from the field. “Can he keep this up?”, is the next question we have to ask ourselves. Matt Lowry has tonight’s Nets vs. Sixers free pick!
