Pick: Orlando Magic -4
If you are looking for a great value play on Friday, lock in the Orlando Magic -4 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers! The Lakers looked horrible on both sides of the floor in their loss to the Heat last night. They simply couldn’t match the energy of the Heat, which is pretty surprising considering the magnitude of that game. In my opinion the Lakers are a tired basketball team, and there is little reason to believe they are going to pick up the intensity against the Magic, especially playing in the second game of a back-to-back set on the road. Los Angeles has been a horrible team on the road this season. They are just 1-5 straight up and 1-5 ATS. Their only win came at Utah, a game in which they needed overtime. Orlando comes into the game off a 83-85 overtime loss to the Spurs at home. It was just the fourth loss of the season for Orlando. They have followed up their first three losses of the season by going out and winning the next time out, all by at least 7-points. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog of 0.5-4.5. BET THE MAGIC! -Steve Janus

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -6
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the best teams in the league this season. Philly has opened 10-4 this year while going a very profitable 11-3 against the spread. They have been nearly unstoppable at home. The 76ers are 6-1 SU & 6-1 ATS at home this season, outscoring opponents by 19.1 points/game. This team has been tremendous following a loss this year, having yet to lose back-to-back games. Philly is 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 following a loss, winning by 26.3 points/game. Atlanta is 4-3 on the road this year, but three of those wins came against New Jersey twice and Charlotte. This will be one of their toughest road tests yet. The 76ers are 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) when the total is between 180 and 189.5 points this season. Philly is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. The 76ers are 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 games playing on 1 days rest. Take Philadelphia and lay the points. -Black Widow

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -4
The Memphis Grizzlies are showing solid value Friday as a mere 4-point road favorite over the lowly Detroit Pistons. Memphis continues to impressive after their playoff run last season, while Detroit remains a bottom feeder in this league. This one certainly has blowout written all over it tonight. Detroit is 3-12 SU & 4-11 ATS in all games this season. As you can see, they have made faders a lot of money this year already. The Pistons are only scoring 85.0 points/game this season on 42.5 percent shooting. They are giving up 94.7 points/game on 47.1 percent shooting, and getting outscored by 9.7 points/game. The Grizzlies come in red hot, putting together a 4-game winning streak with four straight wins by six points or more. What’s most impressive is that they are shooting 48.6 percent as a team during this stretch despite playing without Zach Randolph. Memphis is 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 meetings with Detroit, winning each by six points or more. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite. Memphis is 22-6 ATS in their last 28 games as a favorite. The Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. The Pistons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Bet Memphis Friday. -Jack Jones

NBA Predictions for March 28th 2011: Two Experts Agree To Bet The Magic On Monday

Prediction: Orlando Magic Pk
The Magic seem to be on a mission to finish the season in a very positive way. They have won five straight and have a very favorable schedule to end the year. They will likely to be favored in every game with the lone underdog roles coming either at home against Chicago or at Philadelphia. The Magic have won 9 of the last 10 meetings in this series including a 111-99 victory just five days ago on this court. Much was expected out of the Knicks after the Anthony trade. But not only have the Knicks regressed they have been simply uncompetitive. New York has lost 9 of the last 10 games and the defeats have come by margins. Only twice in those ten games were the Knicks an underdog, catching 1 1/2 hosting Boston and getting 5 points at Dallas. Counting the pick ‘em game they hosted against Orlando they are 0-3 straight up losing to the spread by a combined 33 1/2 points when stepping up in class. New York continues to be an overrated squad and we take advantage again tonight. -Bryan Leonard

Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers +10
We have rode the balls the 2nd half of the season many times and they have not let us down many times but lately even though they are winning they have not been playing their best. This series the Underdog is 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings. Even better PHI matches up with Rose with three different young athletic guards to slow him down. PHI might even win this one outright as PHI is desperate trying to get back to the 5th spot in the Eastern conference. AI plays great and get us this cover -Craig Trapp

Prediction: Orlando Magic Pk
Orlando has won 5 in a row while New York has lost 6 in a row heading into tonight’s contest. Orlando is 9-1 SU overall vs New York the past 3 years. Knicks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Knicks are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Knicks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Knicks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU loss. Knicks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Knicks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Knicks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. We’ll recommend a small play on Orlando tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson (Handicapperspicks.com)

NBA Picks for March 11th 2011: Bet The 76ers And The Jazz On Friday Night

March 11, 2011 By

NBA Picks: March 11th 2011

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers +3
The Philadelphia 76ers are showing excellent value tonight as a home underdog to the Boston Celtics. Simply by name, the Celtics are a road favorite when they shouldn’t be. Boston is absolutely depleted right now and will get out-worked for four quarters by this deep 76ers team. Boston is without Delonte West, Shaq, Glen Davis, Von Wafer and Jermaine O’Neil. The Celtics had only seven players play more than eight minutes late time out in their 103-108 home loss to the Clippers. Their thin bench will do them in again tonight. The 76ers are the deepest team in the league with six players averaging in double-figures and 11 players averaging 10 minutes per game or more. While it’s hardly a surprise that no Eastern Conference team has more wins than the Boston Celtics, none having more than the Philadelphia 76ers over the past seven weeks certainly is. The 76ers have gone 16-6 since Jan. 21 – the only East team with a better record in that span is Chicago (16-4) – to climb to seventh in the conference. Philly has lost their first two meetings of the season to Boston by a combined 5 points, and I fully expect them to have their revenge in this one. The 76ers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5. Take Philly Friday. -Jack Jones

Pick: Utah Jazz +1
The Utah Jazz are fighting for their playoff lives. They should not be an underdog to the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. Look for Utah to build off of their huge last-second win over Toronto last time out and put forth a great effort Friday. Utah is 34-31 on the season while Minnesota is 16-50. Utah is a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 meetings with Minnesota. Minnesota is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. victory. The Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Friday games. Minnesota hasn’t won back-to-back games since February 7th and 8th. The Jazz are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. No question we are backing the right team in this one. Take the Jazz and the points. -Black Widow (Handicapperspicks.com)

NBA Picks for March 8th 2011: Bet On The Rockets, Heat And 76ers On Tuesday

Pick: Houston Rockets +5
The Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets have each made strides toward contending for a Western Conference playoff berth, but both teams have plenty of work left. Phoenix lost for only the fifth time in 17 games and second time on a season-high, six-game road trip with Sunday’s 122-118 overtime defeat to Oklahoma City. That loss, though, was painful in more than just the standings as Frye dislocated his right shoulder in the fourth quarter after pulling down a career-high 15 rebounds. The forward/center, who hit two game-winning shots on the trip, is expected to miss two to three weeks and the Suns will surely miss him. Frye, was averaging 12.3 points and a career-high 6.6 rebounds this season, was one of seven players to score in double figures during a 123-116 victory in Houston on Nov. 22. Houston, however, enters this matchup having won seven of eight while averaging 110.9 points. The Rockets will hang within the number against the Suns, and the underdog outright win would not surprise me.

Pick: Miami Heat -8.5
Hey how about Le Brick James and the rest of the Miami Heat now playing the ‘Crying Game’ after Sunday’s loss to the Bulls (their third straight). Difficult spot for Portland who beat the Magic (Megabucks winner) last night in Orlando and now face a squad that is up against it. Trailblazers have now won six straight on the road but will be with Brandon Roy tonight and that will hurt as the Heat beats Portland at home for the first time in their last three tries. Take the HEAT! -Chip Chirimbes

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers +1.5
Indiana is 27-35 straight up this year. The Pacers are 2-5 ATS thwir last 7 games overall. Indiana is 3-9 ATS when playing with two days of rest. The Pacers are 1-4 ATS their last 5 home games and they are 2-6 ATS their last 8 games as home favorites 0.5 to 4.5 points. Philadelphia is 32-30 straight up this year. The Sixers are 6-1 ATS their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing record. Philadelphia is 22-8-2 ATS when playing with one day of rest. The Sixers are 7-3 ATS their last 10 road games. The Sixers are 21-10 ATS their last 32 games off an ATS WIN! PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA -Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)

Prediction: New Orleans Hornets -4.5
On Sunday the free NBA System Play is on the New Orleans Hornets. Game 811 at 6:35 eastern. The Hornets fit 2 nice systems here tonight. What we want to do is play against home dogs like Cleveland with 1 day of rest if they scored 110 or more as a road dog in their last game and the opponent also was a road dog in their last game. These home dogs are 4-20 ats since 1995. This system is illustrated below. A second system plays on certain rested road favorites off a road dog win vs an opponent off a win and cover. The Cavs are off a big come from behind win in New York, while the Hornets won in Memphis. The Cavs are 2-30 straight up and 10-20-2 ats with revenge. This will be a tough game for the Cavaliers. Look for the Hornets to get the win and cover tonight. On Sunday I have a 100% NBA System Game of the Week, a Double Perfect ACC Game of the Month + a 17-1 Early Power Angle Side. Saturday top play cashes with Auburn. Jump on Sunday. For the Free Play take The New -Rob Vinciletti

Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers -7
The 76ers have been money against the spread at home this season, going 19-11 and we see no reason why they wont win easily at home against a Warriors team that is just 8-21 on the road this season. The 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Golden State is just 3-12 ATS after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games this season, and are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a S.U. loss. Play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points – poor foul drawing team – attempting <=24 free throws/game, good shooting team – shooting >=46% on the season. It’s 161-102 over the last 5 seasons. -Info Plays

Prediction: Boston Celtics -7
Milwaukee is 23-37 straight up this year. The Bucks are 0-5 ATS their last 5 home games and they are 0-4 ATS when their opponent scores 100 or more points in their last game. The Bucks are 1-4 ATS their last 5 games off a straight up loss. Boston is 45-15 straight up this year. The Celtics are 11-1 ATS on Sunday and they are 20-7 ATS after allowing 100 or more points in their last game. The Celtics are 7-3-1 ATS their last 11 games off an ATS loss in their last game. PLAY ON BOSTON -Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)
