Long-time NBA fan, following the game closely for 21 years now. Joined the Pickswise writing staff for the 2020-21 season and have given out winning picks since. Hopefully we can make some money together! Oh, and I firmly believe Lebron James is not one of the two best basketball players of all time. Yeah, I said it.

Wizards vs Nets Best Bet: Bilal Coulibaly Over 3.5 Rebounds (-159)

He’s cleared this line in 6 of 7 meetings with the Nets, while in his last 10 games overall he’s done it 7 times. Brooklyn gives up the most rebounds to opposing Shooting Guards this season.

Suns vs Bulls Best Bet: Suns -10 (-110)

The Bulls just got destroyed by the Knicks 136-96 at MSG. Phoenix is out for revenge after they lost the first meeting at home against this team back in early March, they need the win to get back some of the confidence lost after back-to-back losses at Orlando and Charlotte.

Grizzlies vs Bucks Best Bet: Ryan Rollins Over 2.5 Threes (-161)

In the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ryan Rollins has really stepped it up offensively for the Bucks. He’s scored 3 threes in 7 of 10 games played, the Grizzlies rank 3rd for threes allowed to PGs this season and also give up the 7th most threes as a team.

Raptors vs Celtics Best Bet: Celtics -9.5 (-112)

It’s been all Boston in this match-up with 14 wins in 15 meetings. They’re outscoring the Raptors by 10 points on average over the 10 most recent meetings. Toronto is without a win in 8 visits to TD Garden, I’m afraid that won’t change after Sunday’s game.

Pacers vs Cavaliers Best Bet: Pacers +16.5 (-106)

As good as the Cavs are offensively, they still give up a ton of points on the other end. Indiana is a team that likes to run, this is the perfect game for them to keep things tight. They’ve covered the spread in 7 of 8 games overall and in 6 straight visits to Cleveland.

Jazz vs Thunder Best Bet: Thunder -22.5 (-110)

It’s a battle between two teams headed in opposite directions. OKC has won all 3 meetings this season, two of them in convincing fashion. If they guard against complacency in Sunday’s game, they are blowing out the Jazz for sure.

Hornets vs Timberwolves Best Bet: Hornets -1.5 (-114)

Without Edwards and McDaniels the Timberwolves are handicapped on offense. Charlotte is one of the more consistent teams on that end, they’ve looked very impressive during this 3-game win streak. Even if Ant Man returns here I still see them coming out of Minnesota with a win. They’ve covered in 4 of 5 meetings at Target Center.

Magic vs Pelicans Best Bet: Magic -4.5 (-112)

Even though the Magic have been far from impressive lately, I think they’ll get the job done against a Pelicans team that’s lost 7 games in a row. New Orleans has looked defeated over the past couple of weeks, they’ve seemingly given up on trying to win and are focusing on developing younger players. Orlando needs the win more.

Lakers vs Mavericks Best Bet: Mavericks ML (+108)

The Lakers are in scramble mode with their two leading scorers out of the line-up. Dallas isn’t playing for much, but at least Cooper Flagg is still trying to win the Rookie of the Year award. Beating the Lakers on national TV would certainly improve his case, I think the Mavs gift their fans with one more home win before the season is finished.

Clippers vs Kings Best Bet: Clippers -11.5 (-112)

LA needs the win badly in order to retain the 8th seed in the West standings. Sacramento has shown signs of life winning their last two games, but the gap in quality is just too big here. Back the Clippers.

Rockets vs Warriors Best Bet: Rockets -4 (-110)

Stephen Curry returning is great news for the Warriors, but it’s hard to expect him to have a big performance in his first game back against a defensively sound Rockets team. Houston has covered in 4 of 6 meetings overall and is 4-1 ATS in 5 visits to Chase Center.
