Point Spread Pick

CLE Cavaliers -5.5(-110)

Reasoning

Last week the Cavaliers held a players-only meeting following a 14-10 start to their season and then they proceeded to lose to the Charlotte Hornets at home after going scoreless in the OT period. The first 2 months of this season just haven’t been good to the Cavs, who are hoping to spark a turnaround with a win against the struggling Bulls on Wednesday. They did already win once against Chicago earlier in the year but needed Donovan Mitchell to go berserk in the clutch for that to happen. De’Andre Hunter also went off, scoring 29 points. The question is: do the Cavs have it in them to go up 2-0 in the regular-season series?

To say that the last 10 games or so have been a struggle for the Bulls would be an understatement. This team has seemingly fallen off a cliff, especially on offense. We have grown accustomed to seeing them score a ton of points, but that just hasn’t been the case during this stretch with their net rating being the second-lowest in the league at just 108.7 points per 100 possessions. Earlier this week we saw them lose to the struggling New Orleans Pelicans at home, scoring only 104 points. There could be some major changes made to the roster as the trade season begins in the NBA; rumor has it the Bulls will attempt to get Chicago native Anthony Davis from the Dallas Mavericks. Until that happens, it’s hard for me to take the Bulls seriously. The Cavs did have their struggles this season, but I think it’s time for a signature win over a team that plays very little to no defense. I’ll back Cleveland here.

Cavaliers vs Bulls prediction: Cleveland -5.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Game Totals Pick

Under 230.5(-110)

Reasoning

The Memphis Grizzlies visit the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight with questions marks over the availability of both teams’ superstars. Both Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards appear on the injury report as questionable to play. Even with their stars on the floor, both teams have seen 3 of their last 4 games come in under the 230-point mark. If either does not take to the floor here, it could really cap the scoring potential of their teams. The visitors tonight will also be without the services of Zach Edey, who is by far their best post scorer. Without him, the Grizzlies lose one of the most efficient tools in their offensive arsenal.

This game should not be played at a crazy tempo tonight. Over the last 10 games they have ranked just 17th and 19th in pace, respectively. During that stretch of games, they are both in the top 10 in fewest fast-break points given up to opponents. That points to this game being a half-court battle. If Morant and Edwards are not available, both could have issues breaking down their opponents in half-court sets. During those 10 games the Timberwolves have also been the fourth-best team in defending the 3-point line, allowing opponents to shoot just 33.4% from the perimeter. If they have success limiting the Grizzlies in this category, it’s hard to see the game going over the 230-point mark.

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves prediction: Under 230.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 229.5.

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.
