NBA Basketball Picks: Houston vs. Golden State 
Take Golden State Warriors 
1 Unit on Golden State +2 Fatigue catches up with Houston tonight on the road giving the Warriors the edge here. Golden State is on fire having won 7 of its last 8 games straight up and 6 of 8 ATS. Houston has played 5 games in the past week and will really struggle here against a team which runs and guns. Golden State is 22-10 ATS versus good teams, outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game over the last 2 seasons. The Warriors are 21-6 ATS in home games when playing 6 or more games in 10 days over the last 3 seasons and 9-1 ATS in home games when playing their 3rd game in 4 days over the last 2 seasons. Houston is just 4-15 ATS after 3 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons. Home court gives Golden State the edge in this spot. 

NCAA Basketball Picks: Gonzaga vs. Saint Josephs 
Take Saint Josephs Hawks 
1 Unit on St. Joseph’s -1.5 Saint Joe’s is led by preseason first-team selection Ahmad Nivins (16.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg), who led the Conference in field goal percentage (.631) last season. Coach Phil Martelli preaches defense and has four returning starters to work with. Pat Calathes and Rob Ferguson guarantees that SJU will once again be dominant on the boards. The 6-10 Calathes was very well-rounded as he was one of only two players in the league to rank among the top 20 in scoring (13.9 ppg), rebounding (7.1 rpg) Saint Joe’s already has four players averaging 11.5 points or better this season, making their offense very tough to contend with. Phil Martelli’s defensive philosophy will shut down Gonzaga tonight. Martelli is 52-38 ATS after allowing 30 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games as the coach of Saint Joe’s. Gonzaga is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against the A-10. Saint Joe’s is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against the West Coast Conference. Cash in with Saint Joe’s as the favorite. 

NBA Basketball Picks: Denver vs. Los Angeles 
Take Los Angeles Lakers 
1 Unit on LA Lakers -5.5 We’ll pick on the struggling Nuggets on the road tonight. Denver has lost 3 of its last 4 games straight up and all 4 of those against the number. The Lakers were able to get off of their skid against the Sonics to pick up some momentum tonight, but they will have much more than momentum in their favor. Over the past 11 years, the Lakers have won 18 of 20 home matchups against the Nuggets, going 12-6-1 ATS. Denver’s problems have come on the defensive end, allowing 105.3ppg on the road. The Nuggets do not have a premier defender who can slow down a player like Kobe. Take the Lakers tonight.
