Game Totals Pick

Over 245.5(-110)

Reasoning

Just 1 win over a span of 9 games and the Miami Heat are back to being a .500 team. Which is a shame, considering how impressive they were offensively in the first month and a half of the season. Only Toronto has a worse offensive rating during this stretch, coincidentally that’s the team they just lost to scoring just 91 points in a 21-point blowout home loss. Next up for Miami it’s an Atlanta Hawks team that knows nothing else but to score the basketball, could this be a opportunity to turn things around?

As expected the return of Trae Young hasn’t yielded any positives for the Hawks, the more I see them struggle with him in the line-up, the more I am convinced they will be parting ways before the trade deadline hits. The last 4 games have seen the Hawks allow 125.8 points per 100 possessions, that’s the 2nd lowest efficiency on defense in the entire NBA. Despite Jalen Johnson being a nightly threat for a triple-double, no effort on the defensive end as a group means that the Hawks will be finishing on the losing end in most games.

These two teams have won a combined 4 games over their last 20 outings, which makes getting a read on this game very difficult. However, if I had to pick I’d still opt for backing the point total to go over. Atlanta’s last 6 of 8 games have cashed on the over, just a couple of games ago we saw them allow 152 points from the Chicago Bulls in regulation. Miami can still score, they just need an opponent that struggles on defense for that to happen and Atlanta is the ideal team for that to happen. I’m taking the points.

Game Totals Pick

Under 239.5(-110)

Reasoning

Just when we thought the 76ers have turned things around, they find a new way to disappoint us. Tuesday saw them lose at home to the Brooklyn Nets 114-106, with their MVP Joel Embiid once again going down with a knee injury. It’s been that kind of a season for the big man, this latest setback likely means we won’t be seeing him for a while. Philly now turns its focus to Chicago, looking to avenge a 2-point defeat from earlier in the season. Once upon a time this was a very one-sided affair with Philly winning 12 games in a row, but since then the Sixers have lost 7 of 11, including the last 3 meetings.

This Bulls team has either been really good or really bad this season, there’s no in between. Right now they’ve connected 4 wins in a row, beating both the Cavs and Hawks twice. One might say that’s a favorable schedule, but at this point Bulls fans will take anything for their team to win games and stay relevant. The 14-15 SU record has them sitting 10th in the East, which is just around what we’re used to seeing from them almost every year. This team plays a very similar style to the Atlanta Hawks where they don’t care all that much about defense, but can put up a large number of points in a very short amount of time.

Not that many points have been averaged over the past 10 meetings between these two sides. The O/U is 1-9 during that stretch with 215.1 points scored on average. The oddsmakers are very ambitious when it comes to scoring here, setting the projected total to 239.5 points. That is a lot considering those numbers I listed earlier, the under has also cashed in 5 straight meetings at the United Center and in Chicago’s last 6 home games overall. For Philly the under is 6-3 in their last 9 games overall and 4-2 in their last 6 vs East opponents. The data indicates a somewhat lower scoring game coming our way here, so let’s back the under.

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.

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.
