Money Line Pick

ORL Magic Win(+135)

Reasoning

This is the spot where I’m willing to fade the better overall record and take the hungrier side. Detroit is 57-21 and already clinched the top seed in the East with Saturday’s 116-93 win in Philadelphia. Orlando, meanwhile, is 42-36, sits ninth in the East, and just won its third game in four tries by rallying from 15 down to beat New Orleans. Why did to this? Because they want to avoid the play-in tournament altogether. The motivational gap is real and the records don’t reflect this. The line however does.

There is also a style argument for the dog. Detroit has been excellent all year, but its edge is usually built through physicality, rebounding, and depth. Orlando can answer that on its own floor, and its defensive profile is the right kind to make this ugly enough to put them in punching reach. Detroit is averaging 117.5 points to Orlando’s 115.1, but the Magic protect the ball a little better and get to the line more efficiently. In other words, the Magic can outmuscle the Pistons. I am taking the Magic outright.

Pistons vs Magic prediction: Orlando Magic +135 (ML) available at time of publishing. Playable to number.

Point Spread Pick

SA Spurs -8.5(-110)

Reasoning

I was really disappointed with the effort of the 76ers in their last game as they lost to the Detroit Pistons 116-93. A portion of that defeat could be attributed to the fact that Philly was playing on a backend of a back-to-back scenario, but I still didn’t expect them to get blown out by a Cade-less Pistons team at home like that. Monday sees the Sixers face an even more difficult challenge as they head to San Antonio for a date with Victor Wembanyama and the high scoring Spurs. San Antonio blew them out by 40 points in the first meeting about a month ago, in that game the Sixers were without Embiid and Paul George.

San Antono’s 11-game win streak was halted by the Denver Nuggets over the weekend in a narrow 2-point OT loss. It was an impressive offensive display from both sides, but in the end the experience of the Nuggets gave them the edge. And also Nikola Jokic who had 40 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists. Wembanyama also responded with a 34 point, 18 rebound, 7 assist and 5 blocks performance, adding to this MVP case. However, with 4 games remaining and the Thunder now seemingly pulling away with the 1st seed, it’s very unlikely the Frenchman gets the crown this time around. I do not anticipate the Spurs rolling over here though, they are still playing games like their lives depend on it, so I’m expecting a max effort from their side here.

I was really impressed with the shooting display by the Spurs in their last game, despite the loss to Denver. The Sixers have shown glimpses of brilliance lately with their big 3 back and playing together, but it’s still not consistent enough to warrant my belief in them that they can get a result against a quality team like San Antonio. I’ll take the home team here.

Philadelphia 76ers vs San Antonio Spurs Predictions: Spurs -8.5 is available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

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.

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.
