Pick: Charlotte Bobcats +5
Terrible scheduling situation for the Celtics who are off Dallas and Orlando with the Lakers and Heat on deck. Boston played a physical game yesterday with the Magic and now must not only travel but win by a margin. The Celtics are an aging team that is not at it’s best in the second of a back to back situation. The team is short handed on the bench and the key starters played extended minutes yesterday. This is a major revenge game for the Bobcats who lost by 31 points the last time the Celtics entered this building. This is the third and final game of the home stand and Charlotte lost the first two contests outright to Dallas and Miami. We will get a full effort tonight from the host who has more of an urgency for a victory than the tired Celtics. -Bryan Leonard
Pick: Golden State Warriors -4.5
Phoenix is 23-25 straight up this year. The Suns are 5-13 ATS their 18 games at Golden St. Phoenix is 4-10-1 ATS their last 15 games off a straight up loss. The Suns are 4-9-1 ATS their last 14 Conference games. The Suns are 1-4 ATS their last games as road dogs of 0.5 to 4.5 points. Golden St is 22-27 straight up this year. The Warriors are 17-5 ATS their last 22 games vs. NBA Pacific teams. The Warriors are 8-3 ATS their last 11 games as home favorites and they are 9-4 ATS their last 13 games off a straight up win. PLAY ON GOLDEN ST -Tom Freese
Pick: Pittsburgh +1
On Monday the free Play is on the Pittsburgh Panthers. Game 7171 at 7:00 eastern. The Panthers are the better team here and have several angles on their side tonight. They are 33-8 after allowing 60 or less, 27-6 including 8-0 this season vs opponents who allow less than 65 points per game, 15-4 with 1 or less day of rest, 5-1 on the road when the total is 130 to 135, 11-3 ats as a dog and are 3-1 as a road dog of 3 or less. West Virginia is a nice team but they do not have the same numbers as Pittsburgh. Look for a close hard fought road win for the Panthers. On Monday the lead play is a 5 units NBA Western Conference Game of the Month backed with a 100% Power system. NBA is 13 games over .500 this season. For the Free Play take Pittsburgh. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)
