Today’s picks
New Orleans Pelicans -7.5 vs Washington Wizards
Thought the Pelicans had turned it around but that was a gigantic mistake. Losing to Sacramento is one thing. Giving up 140 points to the Kings is another.
If you can’t get right against Washington… you’re in trouble.
New Orleans -7.5
San Antonio Spurs -8 vs Utah Jazz
The line is being driven by Utah’s player availability. According to the Jazz’ Twitter account, their injuries are mounting.
Mike Conley – OUT (right knee soreness) Rudy Gobert – OUT (rest) Donovan Mitchell – OUT (left peroneal strain) Royce O’Neale – OUT (right calf soreness) Nigel Williams-Goss – OUT (left ankle sprain) Joe Ingles – AVAILABLE (right foot soreness)
San Antonio -8
Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5 vs Memphis Grizzlies
The wheels are coming off for the Grizzlies. It’s hard to side with them until they show they can win a game.
Oklahoma City -2.5
Sacramento Kings -4.5 vs Brooklyn Nets
Both teams need the win. A win clinches a playoff spot for the Nets. Sacramento is 2.5 games out and desperately need a win to stay in the race.
Sacramento -4.5
Orlando Magic +4.5 vs Philadelphia 76ers
Both teams will be missing key pieces. Aaron Gordon will probably miss today’s game against the Sixers while Ben Simmons is out for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia -4.5
Boston Celtics +2.5 vs Toronto Raptors
They shapes up as the best game of the day. The Raptors can clinch the number two seed in the East with a win.
Boston is one of the higher scoring teams in the East since the restart and they own a winning record against the Raptors this season.
Boston +2.5
