Free NBA Pick: Dallas Mavericks -3 (Info Plays)
System Play. We’ll Play Against - Underdogs (OKLAHOMA CITY) - a good offensive team (98-102 PPG) against a poor defensive team (98-102 PPG) after 42+ games, after a win by 6 points or less. This is a 38-13 ATS System hitting 74.5% over the last 5 seasons. The Thunder are overvalued here after a recent win at Boston, but the Celtics have been losing to everybody of late. The Mavs have to be pretty hungry to face the Thunder tonight after getting torched on their home floor by the Orlando Magic in their last game, losing 82-97. The only reason the Mavs are such a slim favorite here is because the odds makers know that the betting public is salivating over the recent play of the Thunder, while they are down on the Mavs because of their last effort. That leaves the line value in this game with the Mavs, who are 9-0 in their last 9 home meetings with Oklahoma City. Bet Dallas at home.

Free NBA Pick: Miami Heat (Big Al McMordie)
At 8:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the MIami Heat minus the points over Minnesota. The Timberwolves snapped their 16-game losing streak earlier this week, but they’re still mired in a miserable season. And over the past 20 years, it’s been extremely profitable (67%) to go against .299 (or worse) teams off a win, if that win came in the final 24 games of the season. The poorest of the NBA’s teams generally play out the string toward the end of the season, and they rarely put two solid games together, back-to-back. With Miami fighting for playoff position with Milwaukee, we’ll look for the Heat to blow out the Timberwolves on Saturday night. Good luck, as always…Big Al McMordie.

Free NBA Pick: Milwaukee Bucks -2 (Jim Feist)
for the Suns, as hot as they’ve been, playing their fifth straight road game, the end of a long trip. That’s a tough time to have a road trip near the end of a long season. It’s also the 4th game in 5 nights on a trip where Steve Nash’s back has acted up. Milwaukee comes home from a modest two-game road trip, the hottest ATS team since January. The Bucks have already covered at Phoenix as a +9 dog and have the motivation to play hard here with Miami hot on their heals for the No. 5 seed. Play the Bucks.
