Point Spread Pick

CLE Cavaliers -16.5(-110)

Reasoning

Cooper Flagg and co. are once again massive underdogs as they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2nd time in two days. They couldn’t do much against the high octane offense of the Cavaliers in the first meeting, allowing 138 points in a 33-point blowout loss. Is it realistic to expect them to turn things around in a positive way so quickly after such a loss? Dallas has just 1 win in 10 games, they’ve dropped 7 in a row vs the Cavs and have covered the spread only once in 5 meetings. A total of 5 players are questionable to play here, with the most notable ones being Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, Caleb Martin and P.J. Washington.

There’s also a long list of potential absentees for the Cavs here as well, but unlike the Mavs they have a ton of depth to compensate for that, plus both Donovan Mitchell and James Harden are both healthy and ready to play. Neither of them spent all that much energy in Friday’s win, logging just 29 minutes each. Evan Mobley stole the show with his 29 points on 12-for-15 shooting in just 23 minutes played. It was Cleveland’s 12th win in 17 games, they have one of the softer schedules in these remaining 15 games or so. If they take this game seriously it should be a non-contest, just like the one we saw a couple of days ago in Dallas.

The Mavs are basically playing for pride at this point. The spread is a big one at 16.5 points, but Dallas’s last 7 of 8 defeats were all by double-digits. Cleveland should be taking this game seriously, so let’s back them to get the job done once again here.

Dallas Mavericks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Predictions: Cavaliers -16.5 is available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

The Golden State Warriors will be hoping to halt a four-game losing streak when they visit the New York Knicks on Sunday evening. Of course, the reality is that the Warriors have very little chance of accomplishing that feat. Will they even be able to field a team?!?! Given Golden State’s smorgasbord of injury issues, my Warriors vs Knicks prediction is for the home side to win and cover. Jimmy Butler is already out for the season with a torn ACL and Stephen Curry (knee) will miss his 17th consecutive contest and at least another week thereafter. In addition to that, the Warriors have ruled out Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Seth Curry. Yes, a game will be played on Sunday — but if you’re watching, you will definitely need a roster in front of you to identify basically anyone on the floor for the visitors.

New York is in much better shape, as only Josh Hart (knee) is questionable for this one. The Knicks are a decent 6-3 SU in their last 9 contests and 7-3 SU in their last 10 inside Madison Square Garden, where 2 of those 3 recent losses have come against Detroit and against Oklahoma City in overtime. Mitchell Robinson is coming off a 12-point, 22-rebound performance in Friday’s win over Indiana and should be able to dominate down low against a Warriors squad that is thin in the front court even when it is healthy. Golden State is 0-3 against the spread in its last 3 overall, while New York is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games. Look for those trends to continue.

Warriors vs Knicks prediction: New York -12.5 (-118) available at time of publishing. Playable to -13.5.

Free NBA Money Line Picks

NBA Money line picks are the simplest way to make a pick or have a wager on an NBA basketball match. An NBA money line pick is picking which team you think will win the match. With no ties in the NBA, the outcomes are win or lose, right or wrong.

NBA money line picks are popular, but if you are betting a strong favorite in the NBA, their money line the odds can be as low as -600. On the flip side, however, if you like an underdog to cause an upset, you can see some great odds and returns. Because of the way the money line is often priced in the NBA, the tricky part is finding the best value NBA money line picks.

Free NBA Picks Against the Spread for Today’s Games

When you want to bet on an elite team but don’t want to risk $600 or more to win $100, our expert NBA picks against the spread are the way to go. Betting against the spread on the NBA means you’re not wagering on a team to win, but to either win by a certain number of points or to lose by fewer than a certain number of points. If we take for example Boston being -650 on the Moneyline they will be around -10.5 against the spread. This means they have to win the game by 11 points or more for you to cash your ticket.

NBA picks against the spread are a great way to bet on underdogs too. Let’s say we go against the Boston Celtics in the above example and we take the points with a team like the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs can lose by 10 points or fewer and we still win. They can also cause an upset and win the game outright, which would win your bet as well. This means every basket could mean something for your wager, from the tip until the buzzer, even garbage time can be a nail-biting finish with spread betting.

NBA Picks FAQs

How Do You Pick Against the Spread In The NBA?

Betting against the spread means to bet on the favourite to win by a certain amount of points or the underdog to win or lose by fewer than a certain amount.

Picks against the spread are popular amongst NBA bettors because they give more favorable odds for favorites and less risk when betting on an underdog.

NBA bets against the spread can be lucrative with some research, maybe the favorite has an injury, maybe the underdog has a strong match-up. Factors like these may not change who the winning team is but if you think it will change the margin of the victory NBA bets against the spread is where you can make it count.
