Tonight we have 7 games for Friday night NBA basketball, and some great matchups in the works. Lets save the fan fair and get right into these picks.
First game on the ticket @ 7:10PM EST we have the Thunder vs 76ers
The Thunder are coming into this game and hoping to snap their 3 game losing streak. With the spread being +/- 12.5 that streak does not look like its coming to a close. The 76ers are coming off a close loss to the Suns, after securing a solid victory over the Bulls. The 76ers have 7 of their last 10 games and tonight should be no different. Defensively Philly has played well only allowing 105.8 PPG and giving up 114 in their loss.
Picks For Tonight: PHI ML | O 208.5
Next on the ticket we have the Cavs vs Pacers
The Cavs are back in the playoff hunt for the first time in a long time. They are currently tied with Chicago for the NO.3 seed in the Eastern Conference. With the Pacers losing 2 key pieces during this last trade deadline it will be hard for them to gather their identity. The Pacers won’t have 12 players even dressed to play in the game tonight.
Picks for the night: Cavs -7.5 | U 212.5
While they are playing we will also have the Hornets vs Pistons in the Motor City Tonight
Neither of these teams are playing well, Detroit playing like a bottom of the league AAU team and the Hornets offense falling off a cliff out of nowhere, both of these teams could use a win. Detroit is 1-9 in their last 10 and Charlotte is just 2-8 in their last 10. Charlotte has the scoring power of Rozier, Ball & Bridges behind them at least and Detroit has shown they don’t have enough fire power to keep up with a decent middle of the pack NBA team. Both teams are riddled with injuries but Charlotte will be coming into this game rested as they haven’t played in 2 days. I am taking Hornets in this one.
My picks for the night: Hornets ML | U 226.5
