Free NBA Pick: San Antonio Spurs +7.5 (Jim Feist)
Second of a back to back spot for the Spurs, but this team has been playing well, both straight up and against the spread. They have been great as a dog, winning at Memphis by 10 as a dog, plus winning at Denver as a +6 dog and at New Orleans as a dog. Orlando is 2-2 ATS its last 4 home games, including a straight up loss the last game to Charlotte as a big favorite. San Antonio knows how to play defense and will look to control the tempo and keep it close. Play the Spurs.
Free NBA Pick: Oklahoma City vs. Charlotte Under 190 (Jimmy Boyd)
Both of these teams are very strong defensively with the Bobcats only allowing 91.3 points per game on their home floor and the Thunder only giving up 97.3 points per game on the road. You also have to like the fact that plays Under on road teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points, a well rested team playing 4 or less games in 10 days, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a marginal winning team (51% to 60%), are 46-18 since 1996, including 14-2 over the last 3 seasons. And we are only seeing an average of 188.4 total points scored in these games. The Bobcats have played to the Under in 8 of their last 10, and with Gerald Wallace listed as doubtful, they are likely to be without a significant amount of points tonight. The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams and we’ll take it for 1 unit here.
