Hey guys, back with a Sunday edition of NBA lines and picks ATS. Yesterdays plays went 4-2. Another winning day but not as good as it could have been. The 76ers collapsed in the 4th quarter and failed to win or cover the small number and Curry wasn't even out on the floor. I think in some way that actually helped the Warriors. I had winners on the Grizzlies, Hornets, Pistons, and Kings. I lost on the aforementioned 76ers and the Nuggets not only didn't cover, but lost outright to the Cavs. I think that's indicative of bigger problems looming for the Nuggets. 11 games today and they start early so let's get to it!

Bucks Vs Suns. Bucks favored by -5.5. The Bucks have lost 2 of their last 3 games while the Suns won their last game against the Blazers. This game is just a mismatch all the way around, the Suns play bad at home for reasons unknown and the Bucks aren't a team they're going to have a chance against, especially when they're motivated. Play Bucks -5.5.

Bulls Vs Nets. Nets favored by -6.5. The Nets made a coaching change and I'm not entirely sure why, they've played relatively well as of late. This Bulls team seems to go between trying to compete to looking like they're tanking. I think we get tank mode today and the Nets win easy. Play Nets -6.5.

Heat at Wizards. Heat favored by -5.5. The Heat are a bad road team, posting a 13-19 record, this of course is offset by their awesome home record but it leads to bad lines like this one. The Heat should be only slightly favored here, the Wizards have played them competitive in their 3 previous meetings and last time they met in Washington, the Wizards won by 18. Play Wizards +5.5.

Raptors Vs Kings. Raptors favored by -5.5. I really like how the Kings are playing lately but this is a tough spot for them. They're on a back to back and had to travel. They get this game at home but the Raptors have been playing very well too. I'll roll with the Raptors here. Play Raptors -5.5.

Thunder Vs Celtics. Celtics favored by -4. Boston has been shorthanded with their lineups lately. The Thunder are very consistent if nothing else, they seem to beat the teams they're supposed to beat, then struggle against better competition. I'm not sure how good the Celtics are right now with their injury situation which gives me pause to pick them here. I could see this game going either way. Play Thunder +4.

Pelicans Vs T-Wolves. Pelicans favored by -6. The T-Wolves upended the Pelicans just last week in a big upset win. I think the Pelicans play motivated here and they've been playing well lately. Motivated Pelicans Vs bad a T-wolves team equals an easy win and cover for the Pelicans. Play Pelicans -6.

Spurs Vs Cavs. Spurs favored by -5. The Cavs played yesterday and beat the Nuggets in a very close game. The Spurs have been up and down but I think they're the better team here. They lost the Cavs at home earlier in the season and I think they win this game on the Cavs home floor. Play Spurs -5.

Pacers Vs Mavs. Mavs favored by -6.5. The Pacers are on the 5th game of a road trip while the Mavs are on a home stand. The Mavs play worse at home than on the road though so I think this line is a little high. The Mavs won earlier in the year in Indiana but the Pacers may have been dealing with injuries at that point in time. Play Pacers +6.5

Lakers Vs Clippers. Clippers favored by -2. The battle of LA and a huge game with possible playoff implications. The Lakers have already lost 2 games this year to the Clippers but they hold a 5.5 game edge in the standings. The Lakers will likely make this a statement game. Play Lakers +2.

Magic Vs Rockets. Rockets favored by -8. The Rockets have lost 3 in a row and they played and lost yesterday to the Hornets. The Magic won against the T-Wolves last time out. The Rockets need to turn things around and no better chance than against the team they beat by 23 earlier in the season. I think they win this game and cover this inflated number. Play Rockets -8.

Knicks Vs Pistons. Knicks favored by -5.5. I'm not sure the Knicks should be favored by -5.5 over anyone. Both these teams are bad but I think Detroit is playing a little better right now. They've both played the same 2 teams in their last 2 games, all losses, the only difference is the margins. The Pistons lost to the Jazz by 6 and the Thunder by 7, while the Knicks lost by 23 to the Thunder and by 8 to the Jazz. Play Pistons +5.5

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