Hey everyone, back for another day of daily NBA picks. Yesterdays picks went 3-4. I had winners on the Knicks, Blazers, and Grizzlies, all underdogs and all won outright. My 4 losers were on the Bucks who were upended by the Heat, the Mavs who were up 10 at halftime then collapsed in the 2nd half to lose a tight game, the Spurs who were also in a tight game and eventually lost, and the Cavs who were big home dogs but couldn't keep it close. 8 games tonight, let's get to the picks.

Raptors Vs Suns. Raptors favored by -4.5. Both these teams are on 3 games losing streaks but the Suns are at home and somehow play worse at home than on the road. The Raptors are good but in a funk, I think they break out of it and win this game easily. Play Raptors -4.5

Nets Vs Celtics. Boston favored by -7.5. The Celtics lost a nailbiter the last time out against the Rockets in OT. They also lost the last time they played the Nets. I think this is plenty of motivation for them to be on their A game and when on their A game, they are one of the best teams in the league. Play Celtics -7.5.

Spurs Vs Hornets. Spurs favored by -3. The Spurs played a tough game against the Pacers last night and then traveled to Charlotte to play the Hornets. The Hornets have been playing good basketball lately, they beat the defending champs and then gave the Bucks all they could handle. I think they continue to play well and possibly win this outright. Play Hornets +3.

Clippers Vs Thunder. Clippers favored by -3. The Clippers are now healthy and this is a low line probably because they're on the road. Both games between these teams have been close this year and the Thunder won by 6 last game Vs the Clippers at home. I think that flips here and the Clippers win this game easily. Play Clippers -3.

Wizards Vs Kings. Kings favored by -5. The Wizards are on a west coast trip and the Kings have been playing pretty good lately. The Kings won the first meeting by 7 points. I think they can win by more than 5 at home. Play Kings -5.

76ers Vs Lakers. Lakers favored by -12.5. Vegas has caught on to the fact that the 76ers suck on the road and adjusted the line accordingly. This is very high like the Sunday line against the Clippers. The 76ers won the meeting Philly by 17 points which leads me to believe we get a super focused Lakers squad in this one. Play Lakers -12.5.

T-Wolves Vs Pelicans. Pelicans favored by -11. The Pelicans are playing very well, their 2 losses in the last 5 games were both against the Lakers and those games were closer than the final score indicates. The other games they've been blowing teams out and winning by double digits. I think they do it again here against a T-Wolves team that has more or less given up on the season. Play Pelicans -11.

Warriors Vs Nuggets. Nuggets favored by -15.5. This is a massive spread. The Nuggets were called out as soft and responded by beating the Raptors by 15 points. If that intensity carries over, they would win this game by 30. If they become complacent it could be a single digit win. I'll say they keep up the intensity. Play Nuggets -15.5.

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