In yesterdays picks I went 3-2 hitting on the Nets, 76ers, and Mavericks but losing on the Wolves and Cavs. Turns out the Thunder line was just way under what it should have been as the Thunder came out and took care of business and won by 9 points. Let's get to todays lines and picks.

First game of the day has an early 3:30 start. Rockets in Denver taking on the Nuggets. Line Even. These teams have played 3 times so far this year with the Rockets winning the last 2 and each home team winning the game. This game is in Denver so I'll once again go with the home team to win the game. Play Denver at Even odds.

Next game we have the Spurs hosting the defending Champion Raptors. Raptors favored by -2.5. The Spurs eeked out a 1 point in Toronto earlier in the year and I think the Raptors return the favor here. The Raptors are also riding a 6 game winning streak and I think the extend it to 7 games. Play Raptors -2.5.

Magic hosting the Clippers. Clippers favored by -4.5. The Clippers are better and the Magic have been under performing all year long. The Clippers won the first meeting by 27 points, maybe this game is closer but I think the Clippers win and cover the number in this game. Play Clippers -4.5.

Atlanta hosting Washington. Hawks favored by -1. Both these teams are bad and the Wizards managed to win the last game between these two teams. I'll take the opposite side in this one. Play Hawks -1.

Grizzlies hosting the Suns. Grizzlies favored by -2.5. The road team has won every matchup in this series thus far and I think the Grizzlies take this game at home. I like the way they've been playing, they're 8-2 in their last 10 games and I think they're better than Phoenix and should be favored by more than 2.5 points. Play Grizzlies -2.5.

Pelicans hosting the Celtics. Boston favored by -1.5. Pelicans are still looking for a win with Zion in the lineup and I think they get it here. Before he came back they were playing very well and they've had some time to gel together with him on the floor in game situations now. Play Pelicans +1.5

Last game of the day has the Pacers in Portland taking on the Trailblazers. Blazers favored by -1.5. This is the 5th game of a long road trip for the Pacers, I think fatigue starts to catch up to them in this game. Play Balzers -1.5

Those are my picks for today! Good luck with your picks/bets!
