NBA Picks: Cleveland vs. Utah 
Take Cleveland Cavaliers
 
1 Unit on Cleveland Cavs +9 Utah has shown us that it isn’t going to play any defense at all this season. We’ll take these nine points in what figures to be a game of trading buckets. Utah is giving up 107.7ppg this season while Cleveland has been somewhat better defensively allowing 101.2ppg. Utah is 1-10 ATS in home games off a road loss by 10 points or more over the last 3 seasons. Cleveland is 3-1 straight up and 4-0 ATS versus Utah over the last 3 seasons. Oddsmakers have undervalued Lebron and company tonight. Take the points

NBA Picks: Denver vs. Boston 
Take Denver Nuggets
 
1 Unit on Denver +6 These two teams appear to be about as evenly matchup as any in the league. So we’ll take the points here as we see this one going down to the nitty gritty. Boston is 0-8 ATS in home games versus excellent foul drawing teams attempting 30 or more free throws/game over the last 3 seasons. Boston is 2-11 ATS in home games after 2 straight games with 10 or less offensive rebounds over the last 2 seasons and 2-11 ATS after a close win by 3 points or less over the last 3 seasons. Boston’s layoff hurts the Celtics here against the run and gun Nuggets. Boston’s big three are not transition players. Denver will dictate tempo and come up with the ATS win.

NBA Picks: Los Angeles vs. Indiana 
Take Indiana Pacers
 
1 Unit on Pacers -5.5 The Pacers have won 13 of their last 14 home games against the Clippers and we don’t see this one being close tonight. Indiana is well rested having not played since November 3rd. The Clippers will be playing back-to-back here and we feel it catches up with them tonight because of the lack of depth that injuries have dealt them. Indiana is 9-1 straight up and 6-3 ATS at home against the Clippers since 1996. The Pacers are 2-0 straight up and ATS at home against LA the past 3 seasons. Lay the points.

NBA Picks: Miami vs. San Antonio 
Take Under
 
Free Play 3* on Heat/Spurs UNDER 182 The UNDER is 3-0 in the Heat’ 3 games this season and 2-0 in the Spurs’ last 2 games. Miami doesn’t score the ball very well without Dwayne Wade in the line-up. They are still playing tremendous defense, allowing just 89 points a game on the season. They aren’t winning because they are averaging a mere 84 points a game. San Antonio has the best defense in the league so points won’t come easy tonight for the Heat either. The UNDER is 12-2 in the last 14 meetings between the Heat and Spurs. These teams have proven that defense wins championships over the last 3 seasons. Bet the UNDER 182 points.
