Free NBA Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -15.5 (Jim Feist)
The Lakers are 20-13 on the road this season, but a sizzling 30-5 at home. They tear up bad defensive teams and one of the worst in the NBA shows up here in road weary Minnesota. This is the end of a 4-game road trip for the Timberwolves and it’s been a disaster, losing the last two games giving up 152 and 120 points. They’ve allowed over 100 points in 10 straight games. Minnesota is 5-30 on the road and has already lost to LA by double digits the last time they met. With the Lakers still in the hunt for the top record in the NBA and the T-Wolves already giving up on the season, this will be another blowout. Play the LA Lakers.

Free NBA Pick: Philadelphia 76ers +3.5 (Dave Price)
The 76ers will be out for revenge tonight after falling to the Knicks Monday, and I expect them to get it. From a point spread perspective, this series has been dominated by the road team. In fact, the road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings and the 76ers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New York. Plus, the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Also, the Knicks have not proven that they can be trusted laying points as they are only 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 4.5 or fewer points. Meanwhile, the 76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog of 4.5 or fewer points. We’ll take the 76ers in this one.
