Hey guys, back with another round of daily NBA picks. Yesterdays plays went 5-3 and should have been 6-2 except the Celtics collapsed and ended up somehow losing that game outright after blowing a double digit 4th quarter lead. The Clippers, Raptors, Hornets, Kings, and Lakers all came through. While the Pelicans and Nuggets joined the Celtics to not only not cover, but lose outright as huge favorites. Let's get to todays games.

Celtics Vs Cavs. Celtics favored by -2.5. The Celtics have to be steaming after last nights game and at least they get an easier opponent to possibly take their frustrations out on. They've beat the Cavs every time they've played this year but this will be a tough spot for them coming off an emotionally draining loss in OT the day before. There's a chance they play well to start the game then get tired late. I'll take my chances. Play Celtics -2.5.

Magic Vs Heat. Heat favored by -7. The Heat are fresh off their huge upset win against the Bucks while the Magic have now lost 2 in a row. I think the Heat come back to Earth a little after that big win. The Magic will be looking to get back on track and I think they keep this game close. Play Magic +7.

Bulls Vs T-Wolves. Wolves favored by -3. The T-Wolves shocked the world last night winning outright on the road against the Pelicans. The Bulls also pulled out a miracle win in their last game against the Mavs. The T-Wolves are a little worse record wise so I'll go against them here in the back to back situation. Play Bulls +3.

Jazz Vs Knicks. Jazz favored by -7.5. Both these teams have won 2 games in a row but the Jazz were looking like they were falling off the map. The Knicks are still a bad team even though they upended the Rockets last time out. I think the Jazz keep things going. Play Jazz -7.5.

Thunder Vs Pistons. Thunder favored by -7. The Thunder played a tough game against the Clippers just last night while the Pistons are playing their first home game after a road trip. I don't like either situation but I'll take the home team here with the points. Play Pistons +7.

Wizards Vs Blazers. Blazers favored by -7.5. The Wizards played last night and had to travel while the Blazers are home for the first game off an east coast road trip. I don't like either situation but I'll take the team that's been on the west coast for the longest stretch right now, and that's the Wizards. Play Wizards +7.5.

Grizzlies Vs Nets. Nets favored by -1.5. This is a line mistake in my opinion the Grizzlies should be favored in this game. We have the Nets off an inconceivable comeback win while the Grizzlies are playing very well. They beat the Lakers then beat Atlanta by 39 points right after that. I think the Grizzlies win this game. Play Grizzlies +1.5.

Pacers Vs Bucks. Bucks favored by -10. The Bucks are fresh off a 16 point loss to Miami while the Pacers have won 4 in a row. The Pacers beat this Bucks team the last time they played but if I know anything it's that you can't make a line high enough against the Bucks. They should be motivated to avenge their loss last time out and the loss the last time they played the Pacers. Play Bucks -10.

Pelicans Vs Mavs. Mavs favored by -6. I think it's clear the Pelicans were looking ahead to this game on the schedule. They've lost all 3 games to Dallas this year including a 46 point shellacking last time they met. Dallas is also coming off a long road trip. This is a tough spot on a back to back for the Pelicans but Dallas seems to play mediocre at home. I'll take the motivated underdog. Play Pelicans +6.

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