Free NBA Pick: Wizards vs. Celtics Under 194 (Dave Price)
I expect to see an ugly game finish under the number in Boston tonight. Plays Under on all teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points (WASHINGTON) - double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent, if that opponent is off a win against a division rival, are 94-50 the last 5 seasons, 51-26 the last 3 seasons and 8-3 this season. The average posted total in these games has been 194.4 and we are only seeing teams combine for 190.5 points on average. Bet the Under tonight.

Free NBA Pick: Phoenix Suns +3 (Jeff Alexander)
The Suns are playing perhaps the best basketball in the NBA right now, having won 11 of their last 12 games and 25 of their last 31, and I expect that strong play to continue tonight. Each of the last two meetings between these teams have been close so taking the points seems to be the right call, especially since the underdog is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Suns are also 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Thunder have now dropped 5 of their last 7 in the chalk and they are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. I’ll take the Suns and the points in this one.

Free NBA Pick: Knicks vs. Magic Over 211 (Craig Trapp)
This should be listed at 220 but still would take over either way. NYK have been stopping no one, in fact they have been giving up over 112 pts in last 5 games. At least they have been scoring in bunches, averaging over 105 pts in last 5. ORL has been winning but not because of great defense in fact they have been just outscoring people as they have averaged triple digits the last 6 games. This one will end in the 230’s as ORL scores early and often.
