In yesterdays plays I went 1-2, losing on the Cavs and Nets and winning on the Mavs pick. The back to back didn't bother the Lakers or the Wizards as both teams won their games easily.

First game of the day is the Bucks vs the Hornets in Paris. Bucks favored by -14. This is a huge number but the Bucks are more than capable of covering it. The Bucks have won 7 in a row while the Hornets have lost 7 in a row. I would just take the Hornets with the points. Play Hornets +14.

Celtics in Orlando taking on the Magic. Line Even. The Celtics are the better team in this game and I would just take them to win it. Play Celtics at Even odds.

Pacers travel to play the Warriors. Pacers favored by -6. The Pacers are a pretty good road team while the Warriors are in disarray this season. I think the Pacers are able to win and cover. Play Pacers -6.

Rockets on the road taking on the T-Wolves. Rockets favored by -5. The Wolves have lost 7 in a row now while the Rockets snapped their 4 game losing streak last time out. The Wolves seem to have given up on the season. Play Rockets -5.

Raptors taking on the Knicks. Raptors favored by -8. The Knicks lost last time out to the Lakers while the Raptors have won 5 in a row. I think the Knicks might show up for this game against the defending champs and keep it within the number. Play Knicks +8

Spurs hosting the Suns. Spurs favored by -4.5 points. The Spurs have won both previous matchups with the Suns by a total of 4 points. The Spurs have won 3 in a row and I think this line is inflated a little bit. I think the Suns can keep this one within the number as well. Play Suns +4.5

Bulls hosting the Kings. Bulls favored by -2. Both these teams are toward the bottom of their divisions. I'd just take the Bulls here and lay the points. Play Bulls -2.

Great game here, Clippers in Miami to take on the Heat. Clippers favored by -2.5. The Heat are 20-1 at home and the Clippers can beat anyone on any given night. This is a big nationally televised game as well. I usually just lean to the home team in these games and I see no reason not to lean that way again. Play Heat +2.5.

Next game Memphis going to Detroit. Pistons favored by -1.5. I think Memphis is the better team here so I would take them as the slight underdog. Play Grizzlies +1.5.

Nuggets going to NO to take on the Pelicans. Pelicans favored by -3. Zion returned to action last time out and had some flashes of brilliance but that wasn't enough for them to get the win. I still think they are in an adjustment period working him into their offense and defensive schemes. Meanwhile the Nuggets are one of the better teams in the league. I think they win this one outright. Play Nuggets +3.

Last game on the list of matchups. Hawks facing the Thunder in Atlanta. Thunder favored by -10.5. I think the Thunder are just the better team here and they're able to win this game. I'm not sure they cover the number as it is skewed a bit high but I would take my chances. Play Thunder -10.5.

Those are my picks for today! The game in Paris is currently at halftime with the Hornets leading 55-50. We'll see if the Hornets can hold on/keep it close or if the Bucks blow them out in the 2nd half. Good luck with your picks/bets!
