Free NBA Pick: New Orleans Hornets -2 (Jeff Alexander)
Bottom Line: Off back-to-back defeats, expect the Hornets to bounce back at home tonight where they are 11-3 on the season. Plus, this is a revenge spot for New Orleans after falling to Miami by 1 point on the road last month. New Orleans has had Miami’s number as it is on a 19-5 SU & ATS run at home versus the Heat. It is 4-1 SU & 5-0 ATS in all meetings over the last 3 seasons. The Hornets are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning record period. Take New Orleans for 1 unit tonight.

Free NBA Pick: Celtics vs. Suns Over 209 (Jim Feist)
The Phoenix offense is smoking, tops in the NBA in scoring and three point shooting, riding a 4-0 Over the total run. The Suns reserves outscored their counterparts 52-31 to help Phoenix rout the reigning NBA champions 118-103 on Monday. Boston is playing their 4th straight road game, a long way from home. Look for the home team to control the tempo against the road weary visitors. Play the Celtics/Suns over the total.
