Free NBA Pick: Denver Nuggets -8.5 (Dave Price)
Denver is 8-1 at home this season, winning by an average of 13.5 ppg. The Nuggets lost at Miami about a month ago in one of their worst performances of the season so they will be highly motivated to return the favor. Denver is a tough matchup for a Heat team that prefers to play in the half court, that’s why it has won 4 of the last 5 meetings, including both meetings at home during this span. In fact, Denver has won both of those home games by an average of 19 points while being favored by an average of just 5.5. Denver is 18-7 ATS revenging a same season loss over the last 2 seasons and we’ll back the Nuggets in that situation here.

Free NBA Pick: Celtics vs. Spurs Under 187.5 (Jeff Alexander)
Boston is 19-5 Under in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons. These games are averaging just 181.9 total points. Both teams come in riding five-game winning streaks, and I expect a defensive battle from a pair of teams that pride themselves on defense in what could be a Finals preview. Lastly, plays Under on all teams where the total is between 180 and 189.5 points (SAN ANTONIO) - a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a winning record, in December games, are 47-15 the last 5 seasons. Bet the Under.

Free NBA Pick: Houston Rockets -1.5 (Rocky Atkinson)
Houston is 10-8 overall this year while Golden State comes in with a 6-11 record on the season. Houston is 21-5 SU at Golden State since 1996. Rockets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Rockets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Rockets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing SU record. Rockets are 34-16-3 ATS in their last 53 Thursday games. Rockets are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Rockets are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Golden State. We’ll recommend a small play on Houston tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky
