NBA Picks

Should you ever lay this number? Oklahoma City’s league-best point differential, Charlotte’s brutal schedule spot, turnover issues, and rebounding have Bash making an argument to lay it (too rich for me). Read why inside.

This Grizzlies vs Cavaliers breakdown from Bryan Bash targets a double-digit spread bet, using Memphis’ brutal ATS slide, Cleveland’s 120+ PPG home form, rebounding edge, and historical domination in this building to frame where the real pick sits on this matchup.

Los Angeles (+7) rides into Ball Arena with momentum after LeBron’s vintage performance in Portland, facing a Nuggets squad that’s dominant but just 1-2 ATS in their last three home games. With the Lakers finding their groove and covering three straight as underdogs, the points look enticing in this Western Conference showdown.

Fresh off contrasting performances – Warriors (-2) grinding out a defensive win while Sacramento surrendered 140 to New Orleans – this clash for Western Conference positioning features two teams trending in opposite directions ATS. Dig into the numbers inside and get Joe’s free pick ATS.

Los Angeles (-1) brings a three-game win streak to Fiserv Forum where they’ll face a Bucks team that’s been bleeding money for bettors (23-29 ATS). With Giannis and Lillard questionable and Milwaukee’s new pieces settling in post-deadline, sharps are split on this near pick’em spread despite the Clippers’ dominant 32-22 ATS mark. Recommended bet inside.

The Charlotte Hornets (+12.5) head to Crypto.com Arena as massive underdogs against a Lakers team still finding its rhythm with Luka Doncic. Despite their 13-39 record, Charlotte’s 27-22 ATS mark tells a different story for bettors, especially with Los Angeles coming off a pre-break defensive collapse against Utah.
