Look out Detroit Pistons, the Washington Wizards may be coming for you. Okay, that is being dramatic, but the Wizards are on a 12-game losing streak, can probably count on being NBA odds favorites in no more than three of their remaining 24 games, and have already been caught by the Pistons in the standings. So that should cover the bigger picture tonight, nearly assuring the Los Angeles Lakers of a win, but is there an opportunity to fade the Lakers the night after their come-from-behind win against the Clippers? Quite possibly. With the Lakers favored by nine, a touch of doubt in Los Angeles leads our free NBA picks and predictions as we preview the Wizards vs the Lakers on February 29. Wizards vs Lakers odds Wizards vs Lakers predictions Let’s play a call-and-response game: The Wizards are so bad — how bad are they? The Wizards are so bad, only one of their last 10 games saw them as an underdog of fewer than 10.5 points. The Wizards are so bad ...

How much should we worry about back-to-backs the week after all of the NBA got a break? For that matter, only one Sacramento Kings player was even invited to the All-Star festivities, and Keegan Murray should not be too worn out from the Rising Stars Game. Factoring in how much the Kings being on the second half of a back-to-back should change to night ’s NBA odds is just one step in deciding whether or not to doubt the Miami Heat. Jimmy Butler is back in the lineup; does that give Miami enough hope to capitalize on this schedule advantage? Doubting Butler and his defensive impact influences our free NBA picks and predictions as we preview the Heat vs the Kings on Monday, February 26.  Heat vs Kings odds Heat vs Kings predictions Sure, the Miami Heat have beaten the spread in six straight games and found the Under in the last five, but three of those were without Jimmy Butler and a fourth was in the game returning from the All-Star Break, its own chance of...

The recent NBA All-Star weekend held in Indianapolis has sparked conversations about the event’s location choices and the opportunities missed by smaller market teams like the Milwaukee Bucks. While the spotlight shone brightly on Indianapolis, some voices in the basketball community wondered why Milwaukee, comparable in many ways but with lower visibility, hadn’t had its turn to host such a prestigious event. August 27, 2018 when I asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about Milwaukee and the @Bucks hosting an All-Star Game which is now very much in doubt #Bucks pic.twitter.com/g6eb8tEaml — Lance Allan (@lanceallan) February 22, 2024 The Milwaukee Bucks, with their passionate fan base and impressive Fiserv Forum constructed in 2018 , seem like a natural fit for an All-Star showcase. Despite numerous bids, Milwaukee has only hosted the All-Star game once, way back in 1977 . Fiserv Forum, a state-of-the-art arena, has hosted various events, including the upcoming Republican Nat...

The NBA is back from the all-star break and the first week of the proverbial second half wraps up with an 11- Game slate on Sunday, headlined by double-headers on both ABC and ESPN. The night duo on ESPN begins with the Denver Nuggets visiting the Golden State Warriors before the Los Angeles Clippers host the Sacramento Kings. Here is my Same Game Parlay for Sunday’s Denver-Golden State contest, which tips off at 7:00 pm ET. Also be sure to check out all of our NBA picks . Golden State Warriors ML (-110) Stephen Curry to record 30+ points (+165) Nikola Jokic to record 30+ points (+145) Parlay odds: +934 Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Stephen Curry filling up the stat sheet would obviously work well with a Golden State win and cover. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Nikola...

After a rough, on-the-fly integration, the Doc Rivers Era with the Milwaukee Bucks has shown signs of taking off.  On Sunday, Milwaukee visits their new coach’s old stomping grounds in Philly, against a Philadelphia 76ers side that was doing just fine without him, though they're currently treading water while reigning MVP Joel Embiid works his way back from a knee injury. That’s a big part of the reason why the Bucks are 5-point road favorites in the NBA odds. Can Doc’s new team build on a big previous win over the West-leading Timberwolves? Read on for my free Bucks vs. 76ers preview, complete with free NBA picks. Bucks vs 76ers odds Bucks vs 76ers predictions Currently sitting in the three-spot, it’s not likely the Milwaukee Bucks can catch the top-seeded Celtics, who enter Sunday nine games ahead of Milwaukee. However, there’s a real shot it can catch Cleveland, just a game ahead of them in second place. While seeding might not...

Orlando, Detroit, Brooklyn and Minnesota are also taking the court.     Below is my mega parlay for Saturday, and also be sure to check out all of our NBA picks .   Pistons ML (+225)     Celtics -10.5 alternate spread (+150)     Timberwolves -7.5 (-110)     NBA parlay odds: +1451   For this parlay I am going with 2 favorites against the spread – 1 on an alternate number – and 1 underdog on the money line.

Eastern Conference rivals New York and Boston clash for the 4th time this season as they lock horns tonight at MSG. Tipoff is at 8:30 pm ET on ABC and I have prepared a +535 odds Same Game Parlay for the action. Continue reading below to see it. Head over to our NBA picks page for predictions on the side and total for the rest of Saturday’s 3-game slate. Let’s dive into my SGP bet now! New York Knicks +7 (-110) Jalen Brunson Over 6.5 assists (-118) Bojan Bogdanovic 2+ made 3s (-230) Kristaps Porzingis 2+ made 3s (-184) Same Game Parlay odds: +535 New York Knicks +7 (-110) On paper the obvious pick to win tonight’s game is Boston – they own the NBA’s best record and have the best Net Rating at +10.4 points. However, something tells me the Knicks will be a tough nut to crack at home, especially by 7 points which is the spread set by the oddsmakers here. The absences of Randle and Anunoby are huge, but New York has shown they’re capable of winning without their big guy with a ...

The reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets got to ease into the unofficial second half of the season last night, thumping the lowly Washington Wizards in a rout.  However, will Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets be able to put up another impressive showing as big favorites in the NBA odds when they head to the Moda Center to take on the Portland Trail Blazers?  I break down this Northwest Division matchup and bring you the best bet in my NBA picks and predictions for Nuggets vs. Trail Blazers on February 23. Nuggets vs Trail Blazers odds Nuggets vs Trail Blazers predictions The Denver Nuggets were struggling a bit heading into the All-Star break, having lost three in a row. So, the defending champs needed a get-right game to kick off the unofficial second half of the NBA season, and boy, did they sure get one against the Washington Wizards. The Nuggets throttled the Wizards 130-110 as 15.5-point home favorites. Nikola Jokic recorded yet another triple-double, whi...

It hasn’t been the season Los Angeles Lakers fans hoped for with LeBron James & Co. sitting ninth in the West and in need of a win with the cellar-dwelling San Antonio Spurs coming to town. While this Lakers team has struggled, it hasn’t been anywhere near as bad as the Spurs, and the NBA odds have Los Angeles as a big double-digit favorite at home. However, teams can’t take San Antonio lightly with its young talent really coming on, and Darvin Ham’s defense could get a taste of the future of the NBA on Friday night. Find out where my best bets lie in our NBA picks and predictions for Spurs vs. Lakers on Friday, February 23. Spurs vs Lakers odds Spurs vs Lakers predictions It’s been a rough year in terms of wins for Greg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, but despite sitting last in the West with an 11-45 record, this season has shown promise. Even though it hasn’t materialized in Ws, Spurs fans have to be happy with the long-...
