Hey everybody, back with another round of daily NBA picks. Had a great day yesterday going 7-2-1 on the day with the two games I really liked, the Bucks and Clippers coasting to easy victories. I wish they would all be that easy. The Pelicans were one of my losses but they were ahead in that game by 17 with 2 minutes left but didn't hold on to cover the 12.5 point spread eventually only winning by 12. I also had a loss on the Grizzlies as they were not able to defeat the Kings at home as a slight favorite. Every other game I won and I pushed on my Jazz pick as they won by exactly 10 points. 8 games today in the NBA so let's get to it.

Magic Vs Spurs. Spurs favored by -2. The Magic are on a 3 game winning streak while the Spurs have lost 2 in a row. This is a tough spot for the Magic who are on a back to back where they had to travel and a 3rd game in 4 days situation. The Spurs have had 3 days rest and have a winning home record against the Magics losing road record. Play Spurs -2.

Rockets Vs Celtics. Celtics favored by -1.5. Game of the day potential here and these teams recently faced off in Houston with the Rockets winning that game by 11 points. The Celtics are a very good home team while the Rockets are decent on the road. I have to take the Celtics here as a small home favorite. Play Boston -1.5.

Lakers Vs Grizzlies. Lakers favored by -8. The Lakers have won 7 in a row while the Grizzlies have lost 5 in a row. I think there may have been some look ahead going on in that Kings game to this big home meetup against the Lakers. This spread seems a little high. Play Grizzlies +8.

Nets Vs Heat. Heat favored by -7. Both these teams played last night, the Heat beat the Mavs at home and the Nets lost in a blowout to the Hawks. I think there also may have been some look ahead to this game for the Nets. They were playing pretty competitively coming out of the all star break but suddenly have lost 3 in a row. I think they manage to keep this game close. Play Nets +7.

Pacers Vs Cavs. Pacers favored by -8. These teams have split the season series thus far with each team winning at home. The Cavs played a game on the road last night which means they had to travel while the Pacers are on a days rest. I think this spread is a little too high for a home game. Play Cavs +8.

Bulls Vs Knicks. Knicks favored by -3. These teams have split the season series with each winning their home game. I don't have any good angle on this game except that maybe the Bulls are in a tank mode, but the Knicks have also lost 6 in a row but in their defense, it's been against stiff competition. Play Knicks -3.

Warriors Vs Suns. Suns favored by -8.5. The Warriors have lost 8 in a row and the last game by 30 points at home. The Suns played a close game and lost against the Pistons last night. The Warriors stink but the Suns seem to play bad at home. I'll take my chances on the Warriors with the points. Play Warriors +8.5

Blazers Vs Hawks. Spread Even. The Hawks played and beat the Nets last night easily while the Blazers are just trying to manage their games without Lillard out there. I think the Hawks might be tired for this game with the effort they expended yesterday. I like the Blazers to get the win. Play Blazers at Even.

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