Free NBA Pick: Spurs vs. Timberwolves Under 203 (Jim Feist)
You’d think the playoffs have started, the way San Antonio is getting back to defensive basics. Not surprising for a veteran team with Tim Duncan in the middle and Gregg Popovich on the sidelines. The Spurs are on a 3-1 run under the total, while allowing 92, 91, 92, 97 and 87 points the last five games. They played a pair of uptempo teams during that stretch, in Memphis and NY. The offense lost a huge cog in Tony Parker, out several more weeks, so turning up the defense has been a necessity. This total is too high, play the Spurs/Timberwolves under the total.

Free NBA Pick: Indiana Pacers +9.5 (Joseph D’Amico)
Indiana has Boston’s number, covering 4 straight over the Celtic’s. The Pacer’s don’t have the best SU record, but are covering games lately ATS. They come into this matchup covering 3 straight. Overall, Indiana ranks one notch higher than Boston on offensive scoring at # 18 in the NBA. Tha Pacer’s get back their top scorer in Forward Danny Granger (23.1 PPG) from suspension. They face a Boston team that is slumping. The Celtic’s have lost 2 straight and are a dismal 3-6-1 ATS their L10. When laying 9 or more points, Boston has failed to cover 7 games in a row. The Pacer’s are 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the Celtic’s, while the ‘dog in this series is 20-7 their L27 meetings. Too many points to give Danny Granger and the Pacer’s. Take Indiana. Thank you.
