Free NBA Pick: Miami Heat +2.5 (Info Plays)
1.) System Play. We’ll Play Against - Home favorites (LA CLIPPERS) - off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog against opponent off an upset win as an underdog. This is a 57-23 ATS System hitting 71.2% since 1996.
2.) The Clippers are coming off a win over their arch rival, their nemesis, and the defending world champion Lakers. If ever there were to be a letdown by the Clippers, it would take place Sunday against the Miami Heat. The Clippers have been known to have letdowns in these spots in the past, going 9-26 ATS in their last 35 games after an upset win as an underdog. Bet Miami on the road.

Free NBA Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -9 (Jimmy Boyd)
Expect the Lakers, who are 20-3 at home and winning by 9.6 points on average in those games, to bounce back strong tonight against a Bucks team that is just 4-11 on the road after losing consecutive games for only the second time this season. The last time the Lakers lost 2 in a row, they responded with a 13-point home win over the Pistons, and I expect them to post a similar result tonight. The Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. Meanwhile, the Bucks are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5 points. Take the Lakers.
