Against The Spread Pick

Philadelphia has been hot winning 7 of their last 10 contests, but have gone just 4-6 ATS. They’ve done most of their winning at home going 5-0 during that span, but are 2-3 SU and ATS during that span. Orlando has gotten hot as they are trying to make a late playoff push winning 4 straight, while going 3-1 ATS during that span. They’ve also won 5 straight at home. Orlando opened as 4.5 point dogs, but that line has been eaten down to 2.5 points despite over 60% of the public backing Philadelphia. This game means more to to Orlando, so I’m following the money here and backing Orlando. Buy the half point and get them as 3 point home dogs.

Over Under Pick

The over has been money in this series hitting in 7 of their last 10 contests, where Orlando has averaged 107 PPG and Philadelphia has averaged 111 PPG. The under has actually hit in 2 of their last 3 matchups even though they’ve actually averaged more points as compared to that 10 game span. Orlando plays decent defense at home ranking 9th in PPG allowed at home, while even though Philadelphia ranks 20th in PPG allowed on the road, they rank 10th in FG% allowed. The under has hit in 15 of Orlando’s 23 home game versus Eastern opponents this year. I don’t expect an all out effort from Philadelphia, while Orlando is going to slow this game down as much as possible and should actually be attempting to play defense as they need every win possible. Back the under staying under the 221 point threshold.

Against The Spread Pick

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder face off on Monday and in this game the value is with the underdog. The Grizzlies aren’t getting a ton of attention but this is a team that is playing some really good ball right now at least compared to just a month ago. Over the last ten games they are 5-5 straight up and 7-3 against the spread. All season the Thunder have been playing down to their competition and I think that will let them down in this game. Back the Grizzlies with a lot of confidence.

Over Under Pick

The total in this game is set at 219.5 and the play is with the over because when these two teams face off, it’s a high scoring affair. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Memphis and the over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall. The play in this game is with the Grizzlies but there is also a lean to the over.

Against the Spread Play

The Phoenix season has been over for some time and all they are looking for now is as much development as possible, specifically with Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton. They are getting it too. More and more Booker is looking like James Harden lite and Ayton is pushing Luka Doncic for rookie of the year. Once they get a bit more around those too they can really start competing. They are 18-20 ATS on the road this season, not terrible. Utah is right in the thick of a battle in the West that could have them finishing the season anywhere from 5th to 8th so every game still counts. They are in good form right now too having won 6 of 7 SU and ATS. Health has been key. Dante Exum is down for the year but the rest of the backcourt is good right now. They are only 18-16-1 ATS at home this season. Usually their home floor offers more of an advantage but still I would take them in this spot.

Over Under Play

Utah has the fourth best defense and a tendency for unders  as does Phoenix, despite a defense that is just 27th. In terms of recency Phoenix has gone under in six of their last seven games and the last time these teams met a couple of weeks ago this game went under in a Phoenix loss. Ride the trend data here and take the under.

Against the Spread Pick

With the regular season rapidly coming to a close, both teams in this matchup are still fighting for playoff position. The Trail Blazers are the 4th seed in the West, but just 1 game of of 3rd place behind the Houston Rockets. The Nets are currently the 7th seed in the East, but are tied with the Detroit Pistons. The Nets are also only 2.5 games from dropping out of the playoffs, so these games down the stretch will be crucial to maintain their playoff hopes. the teams met in February, resulting in a Portland win by a score of 113-99. Brooklyn will be looking to avenge their earlier loss to Portland, but will have to do away from the comfort of their home court. Brooklyn however, has not fared well against the spread when playing on the West Coast, going 2-6 against the NBA Northwest in their last 8 games. The Trail Blazers on the other hand are 13-6-1 against the spread in their last 20 Monday games. Furthermore, the favorite is 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games head to head. Given that the Trail Blazers are the better team, look for them to win and cover.

Over Under Pick

Both teams come in averaging over 110 points per game, but they are also allowing more than 110 points per game. The over is 12-3-1 for the Trail Blazers in their last 16 home games. The over is also 14-5-1 in the last 20 games where Portland was the favorite. The Nets have seen the over go 2-8 in their last 10 games overall, but the Trail Blazers will more than make up for this. Back the over in this game as Damian Lillard and Portland end up scoring a ton of points.

Free NBA Picks Against The Spread and Expert NBA Predictions For Today’s Games

The NBA is one of the few major North American sports to actually acknowledge that there games are wagered on – even partnering with MGM to be the official gaming partner of the league. This can only be considered as a good thing for NBA betting and professional basketball bettors. Much like hockey, there are no shortage of NBA predictions on every single night from October to April and into the postseason.

What Free NBA Expert Picks Do You Offer At Pickswise?

There are 2,460 games to bet on during the season and our expert NBA predictions provide betting angles into every game. If you’re looking for the best NBA bets today we have you covered. Our NBA experts share their best free NBA predictions each and every.

Do You Have Any Expert NBA Picks Today?

We offer free expert NBA picks on every single day of the NBA season, even Christmas Day.  The NBA season is an 82-game grind but our experts analyse every game to help you make the best NBA bets daily.  Player matchups, rotations, injuries, travel schedule and referees and many other factors are considered when finding the best daily NBA betting tips.

Free NBA Predictions Moneyline

The moneyline simply means you pick a winner of the game. NBA moneyline bets are most valuable when wagering on two evenly matched teams. If you’ve got a team like Golden State who wins 70+ of their 82 games in a season, it’s not farfetched for the Warriors moneyline betting odds to be listed at -650 or more. On the flip side, bets against these upper echelon teams is a great way to maximize profits when they lose.

Free NBA Picks Against the Spread

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. NBA betting against the spread means you’re wagering not only on a team to win, but also to win by a certain amount of points. If we take our earlier example of Golden State 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 Golden State Warriors in the above example and we take the points. Our team can lose by 10 points or less points and we still win. This is where those ‘meaningless’ half court shots at the buzzer turn from anguish into elation. They can also cause the upset and win the game outright.

Free NBA Picks Over Under

NBA over/under betting is arguably the most exhilarating of all the North American sports. On any given night in the NBA you might see a 85-81 contest in one game compared to a 218-205 score in another. NBA totals picks can be legitimately won or lost with one bad – or great – quarter. A lot of bettors enjoy NBA over/under free picks because every single offensive possession counts and it makes the games that much more thrilling to watch.

Expert NBA Parlays And Teaser NBA Predictions

NBA teasers are one of the few sports where these types of bets are utilized besides pro and college football. The most common points available in NBA teasers are 4, 4.5, and 5 with some books offering 7 points. You can apply these points on anywhere from 2 to 14 games with each bet you add the payout odds increasing. Of course in order for an NBA teaser to be graded a win, each team on the ticket must be graded a win. NBA parlays work in very much the same manner with between 2 and 10 teams being added to a ticket. You don’t get the 4, 4.5, or 5 points in NBA parlays but the payout odds are better

NBA Playoff Predictions

In addition to free daily NBA predictions, we also provide insight into NBA postseason betting. From best of seven quarterfinals matchups to the NBA Championship Finals, there’s nothing quite like the excitement of game seven in the series. In the NBA postseason home court becomes an even bigger advantage but it’s important to make sure the lines reflect that. Our experts analyse every playoff game and give you their expert NBA predictions to help you make the best selections in April and finish off the season in profit.
