NBA Picks: Phoenix vs. Golden State 
Take Phoenix Suns
 
1 Unit on Phoenix -5.5 Phoenix will feel right at home in this one as the Warriors also like to play an up-tempo style of basketball. There’s just one problem for Golden State, Phoenix is better at it. The Warriors are giving up 112.2ppg at home this season. Bad defensive teams just don’t survive the Suns. The Suns are 19-6 ATS as a road favorite of 6 points or less over the last 2 seasons and 24-9 ATS in road games first half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Phoenix is on a roll having won 8 in a row and 4 of its last 5 against the number. The Suns will be too much for Golden State tonight. Lay the points.

NBA Picks: Houston vs. Los Angeles 
Take Los Angeles Clippers
 
1 Unit on LA Clippers +7 Houston is really struggling having lost 6 of its last 7 straight up and 6 of 8 ATS. The Clipps are struggling too, but we like them at home tonight considering the close nature of this series of late. 5 of the last 6 games in this series have been decided by 5 points or less. The one that wasn’t was an 8 point win for the Clippers. Houston is just 2-5 ATS on the road this season and just 7-17 ATS after scoring 105 points or more over the last 2 seasons. We’ll take the points here.

NBA Picks: San Antonio vs. Sacramento 
Take San Antonio Spurs
 
3* on San Antonio -6.5 San Antonio has beaten Sacramento in 7 consecutive meetings. Six out of the seven match-ups were won by at least 7 points. This spread is very small even with the Spurs going on the road. The Spurs are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. The Spurs are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. San Antonio is 20-7-2 ATS in their last 29 games as a favorite. The Kings are still without Mike Bibby and Shareef Abdur-Rahim and they can’t compete with the Spurs without their best players. Bet San Antonio on the road. 

NBA Picks: Minnesota vs. New Orleans 
Take Minnesota Timberwolves
 
1 Unit on Minnesota Timberwolves +11 The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to an ugly start this year but they won’t be going down to New Orleans by double digits Monday. The Hornets have lost 3 out of their last 4 games, getting beat by Utah by 28 points a few nights back. Ugly home losses to Indiana and Orlando indicate that the Hornets aren’t playing their best basketball right now. The underdog is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings between Minnesota and New Orleans. The Timberwolves are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. The Hornets are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. This spread is ridiculous Monday and we will cash in with Minnesota getting a big number as the underdog.
