The 5-4 Boston Celtics are on a 2-game winning streak and will try to make it 3, when they travel to New Orleans tonight to take on the 1-9 Pelicans. The Pelicans are 0-5 at home and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games. Head to head, Boston is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The line in this game is Boston -4.5, which they should cover, but I’m playing it safe and taking the Celtics money line.
Today’s pick:
Boston Celtics -185
The Sacramento Kings head down south to Florida to take on the Orlando Magic at Amway Center. The Kings are 2-3 on the young season, averaging 100.8 points per game and allowing 102.6. The Magic are 1-3 on the season, averaging 95.0 points per game and allowing 105.5. Sacramento has the edge in points per game, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, defense and bench, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 in Orlando. I like the Sacramento Kings here, +1 point.
Today’s pick:
Sacramento Kings +1
The red hot Oklahoma City Thunder take their talents to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are playing back to back games, losing a close one to Sacramento last night. These 2 teams met twice in December and the Thunder pummeled LA, winning by 40 and 35 points. Why should things be any different tonight? I’m taking the Thunder and laying the 14.
Tonight’s Pick:
Oklahoma City Thunder -14
The Sacramento Kings are hosting the San Antonio Spurs tonight and Cousins returns to the lineup. Look for the Kings to cover.
Tonight’s pick:
Sacramento Kings
