NBA Picks

At one time earlier this season, the Houston Rockets could be counted on to lose on the road and win at home. Now they just plain stink, as it appears they’re attempting to weight the ping pong balls in their direction for the first pick in the NBA draft. Get our UT/Hou pick here!

The Boston Celtics got TROUNCED by OKC in their last game by a score of 150-117. While Boston has a nice roster, they’re play on the road has been mediocre at best. Get our Bos/Dal point spread prediction before placing your wagers!

The Mavericks are only 2-11 straight up on the road. When you couple this with the notion that Los Angeles has overall been in good form in the Staples Center at 9-4 SU this season, the Mavs aren’t that appealing. However this Mavs team is not the same team that was on the road last month. Can the Mavs keep it within 3? Franks has your NBA pick.

It seems crazy that a team that is on pace to double its projected win total is in line to fire their coach, but the relationship between Dave Joerger and the front office has gone nuclear. De’Aaron Fox is currently in the middle of a break-out sophomore season, and 24 hours after calling him “the next Russell Westbrook,” Joerger decided to play him 6 total minutes and allow his second-unit to get blown off of the floor. Will he set Fox and Friends lose on the the 4-point-favored Thunder.

Against the Nets, LeBron shouldn’t have any problems getting back on track – if he is engaged. DeMarre Carroll was once a fabled LeBron-stopper, but long gone are those days. In fact, LeBron has triple-doubled in three out of their last four meetings and scored at least 29 points in all four. Is this the perfect game for Lebron and cast? KC has your NBA pick.

In order to take out the Dubs, Memphis needs to do what they do best: make the game as ugly as possible. With the 6th-ranked defense and the 30th-ranked pace, Memphis thrives in low-scoring, playoff-like atmospheres. In their first meeting this season, the Grizzlies superstars failed to play as such as Conley and Gasol combined for only 17 points in a 117-101 loss. With Jaren Jackson Jr. stepping into a larger role and Grizzlies’ role players playing to their strengths, Memphis might be able to keep this game closer than sportsbooks have expected. KC has your pick!
