PHX Suns -2.5(-110)

Reasoning

The Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns will meet for the first time this season this Saturday night. With both Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant both announced to be probable for this game, tonight’s matchup will be the 7th time these two former teammates have played against each other since they played alongside each other in Golden State. The Warriors are currently on a 3-game losing streak. Their last loss was at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors kept it close at 105-101 despite playing without Curry. The Suns have also recently struggled, losing 6 of their last 7. The Suns started this season with an 8-1 record, and it wasn’t until Durant’s injury that they started to struggle. Phoenix is hoping the return of Durant will help them get back on track tonight.

Injuries have limited the number of times we have been able to see Durant suit up against the Golden State Warriors. Since joining Phoenix, Durant has only played against Golden State 3 times. Durant has averaged 24.7 points per game and has a plus/minus in those games slightly over +1. In his third season with the Suns, this may be the best version of Durant we have seen in Phoenix. In 11 games this season, Durant is averaging 55% from the field, 44% from three, and 27.4 points per game, all highs for his time in Phoenix. It’s become a rare sight to see the Suns at full strength, but with Durant’s return the Suns should have their stars on the floor. Golden State has struggled with turnovers on their losing streak. They lost the turnover battle in all 3 losses and have a total of 37 combined turnovers during that period. If the Warrior’s cannot clean up their mistakes in this game, the turnovers may prove to be too much against a Sun’s offense that scores in bunches.

PHI 76ers Win(+110)

Reasoning

Time is slowly running out for the Philadelphia 76ers to turn things around this season. With just 3 wins in 17 games, only the Washington Wizards are worse than them in the Eastern Conference. Joel Embiid will sit out yet another game as Philly heads to Detroit on Saturday, but the good news is Paul George and Caleb Martin could return. The Sixers have already lost a game vs Detroit 105-95 about a month ago at home, wasting a 32 point Tyrese Maxey game. Philadelphia has failed to cover in 5 straight road games, they are 1.5 point underdogs in Detroit on Saturday.

Who would have though the Pistons would have a better record than Philadelphia less than 20 games into the season. A 9-12 record in the weak East earns you a play-in tournament spot, with the way the last few seasons have played out I think the Pistons would sign off that pretty quickly. They too have had their struggles in the last 6 games, winning just twice. This will be a 2nd night of a back-to-back for them after they beat the Pacers 130-106 on Friday. In total 3 players scored 20+ points for them, Cade Cunningham was the star man with 24 and 11 assists.

Backing Philadelphia is not a popular pick these days, with the way their season has gone. But I do feel like they have a chance here, especially with the Pistons playing their 2nd game in two nights. You have to have a deep roster to cope with such a workload and Detroit just doesn’t have that. Expect a big time performance from Maxey here as the 76ers pull off the upset.

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.
