Back with another round of daily NBA picks. Yesterday I went 4-6 with my picks, not terrible but not a winning record. Small slate of games today and I'll see if I can turn it around.

First game listed we have the Pelicans hosting the Bucks. Bucks favored by -6. I think the Pelicans are playing some of their best basketball of the year now Zion is back. They lost the last time out against the Rockets but were leading in that game until the 4th quarter. I think the Pelicans will be up for this game and will keep it close. They get it at home which also helps. Play Pelicans +6.

Next game we have the Hornets in Houston taking on the Rockets. Rockets favored by -14. The Hornets are suddenly slumping losing their last 3 by double digits. They played last night as well so might be tired after playing and traveling. It's a big number, but I'm going to lay it. Play Rockets -14.

Spurs in LA facing the Lakers. Lakers favored by -12. The Spurs played the Clippers last night and played them tough. They were ahead double digits in the game before losing it at the end. This is the 2nd game at Staples for the Lakers since Kobe passed. They lost the first game against the Blazers. I see no way they lose this one. The Spurs should be tired and the Lakers motivated to perform at home. Play Lakers -12

Last game listed we have the Nuggets hosting the Blazers. Nuggets favored by -4.5. The Blazers have won 4 in a row against some stiff competition. This is another tough game for them in the altitude in Denver. I think they finally lose one. Play Denver -4.5

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