Free Pick: Kings vs. Knicks Over 212 (Jim Feist)
There will be a lot of things on display this game, but defense won’t be one of them. Sacramento is a long way from home, playing its 10th road game over the last 14 games. They don’t play any defense to begin with, allowing 105.8 ppg, fourth worst in the NBA. They appear to have tired legs of late with all that road travel, on a 4-1 run over the total. NY allows the 7th most points in the league (103.4 ppg). Sacramento is particulary inept, allowing .472% shooting by opponents, 6th worst in the league. Look for the Knicks to run right at the road weary visitors and for more offense than defense, play the Kings/Knicks Over the total.
Free Pick: Indiana Pacers -1 (Jeff Alexander)
The Bulls have really felt the absence of Joakim Noah in terms of what he does on the board, on the defensive end, and the energy he brings to this team. Without him, I expect the Bulls to have a tough go of it tonight in a city where they are just 6-23 since 1996. Indiana is coming off a road defeat, and that bodes well for us here as the Pacers are 18-8 ATS in home games off a road loss the last 2 seasons. Plus, the Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss so this is certainly a team that comes out harder the next time it plays after enduring a defeat. Lastly, the Bulls are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. We’ll take the Pacers.
