Tonight’s NBA picks and parlays
Milwaukee @ Washington
Picks –
Best Bet: Milwaukee +9.5 @1.20 – The Wizards got smashed away to the Bucks the night before Xmas Eve, at home they will keep it closer.
Feeling Lucky: Washington 1-10 @2.75
Memphis @ Orlando
Picks –
Best Bet: Under 201.5 @1.49
Feeling Lucky: Memphis WIN @1.74 – The Grizzlies are troubling all teams with their game style, will be good to see them put it to use on the road.
Charlotte @ Brooklyn
Picks –
Best Bet: Charlotte WIN @1.36
Feeling Lucky: Under 217.5 @1.91 – The Nets played the Warriors and Cavs in their last two and just broke the over twice against a high tempo offense teams, not likely against the Hornets.
Cleveland @ Detroit

Feeling Lucky: Under 199.5 @1.91 – As Above
Indiana @ Chicago
Picks –
Best Bet: Chicago +10.5 @1.20 – Bulls on a B2B and are too unpredictable like their opponents.
Feeling Lucky: No Way
Dallas @ New Orleans
Picks –
Best Bet: Dallas +4.5 @1.91 – Dirk is back for his second outing since injury, and the Mavs are in better form currently than the Pelicans. Forget the 3-13 Mavs away record here.
Feeling Lucky: Nope. – Take the best bet here.
Phoenix @ Houston
Picks –
Best Bet: Nope – Take either of the feeling lucky bets. H2H too skinny here.
Feeling Lucky: Houston -13.5 @1.91 – Th Suns have a 4-12 road record and are up against one of the form teams of the competition in the Rockets who’ve won 16 of their last 20. Nuff said.
Total Points Over 228.0 – Turnstile defense tonight.
Atlanta @ Minnesota
Picks –
Best Bet: Atlanta +2.0 @1.91 – With 2 days break on the TWolves the Hawks look okay here. Sneaky value.
Feeling Lucky: Atlanta 1-10 @2.87 – The Hawks have split their last 10 games while the TWolves are 3-7, including a 112-110 loss to OKC last night.
Toronto @ Portland
Picks –
Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.48 – Toronto are rolling over their last 10 with an 8-2 record, while the Blazers have continued to disappoint over the same span with a 1-9 record. The Raptors 10-3 away record is steady enough for us.
Feeling Lucky: Toronto -4.0 @1.91 – As above. No faith in the Blazers to break the +5.0 whatsoever.
Denver @ LA Clippers
Picks –
Best Bet: Denver WIN @1.80 – Watch for lineups, but if Griffin and Paul continue to sit, get on this. LA Clippers lost to the Lakers last night and lost Reddick to a hamstring injury in the process. With a day’s rest the Nuggets are a nice take here.
Feeling Lucky: Denver -2.0 @1.91 – Clippers are the walking wounded.
Philadelphia @ Sacramento
Picks –
Best Bet: Sacramento WIN @1.27 – Boogies got this one for us on lock. Some icing on the parlay.
Feeling Lucky: Sacramento -8.0 @1.91 – the Kings have won three straight and look set to take this one at home over a 76ers team that is just awful, with 3 wins over their last 15.
