TODAY'S FREE NBA basketball PICKS


  Sniper Wes
7:00 PM   Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers  
NBA   05/15  
  Pick: Under 209
  Take #523 Pistons vs Cavaliers Under
Remember, Game 5 would have gone under in Detroit if not for overtime, and the totals have been set low in this series and for good reason. The Pistons had their chance to go up 3-2 in this series, and they blew it. They let the Cavs back into the game in Game 5, and they paid the price with a loss. Detroit just has no closer other than Cade Cunningham and no other potent offensive weapon, and it's hurt them multiple times in this series. The Pistons have an elite defense, and they have trouble scoring as well, and we think this one shakes out as an under here in Cleveland.

9:42 PM   San Antonio Spurs vs Minnesota Timberwolves  
NBA   05/15  
  Pick: Over 218.5
  Take #525 Spurs vs Timberwolves Over
We think Minnesota can be an active dog on the brink of elimination. Game 1 went under the total, but all four other games have gone over. 133, 115, 109, and 126 points in the last four games, and we think they keep that offense up, and the Timberwolves in turn keep up with San Antonio offensively. In fact, they over is 8-2 in the last ten head-to-heads going back to the regular season and even last year, and we think this one is a barn burner.

Methods Of Wagering With NBA Picks

Betting the NBA Point Spread

      Betting “against the spread” is the most popular way to wager on NBA basketball. NBA games are rarely perfect match-ups, and the spread is the sportsbook's way of leveling the playing field. In order to win a point spread bet or “cover the spread,” the favored team not only has to win the game – they must do so by a specified number of points (the spread). The spread encourages equal betting on both teams, as it essentially “gives” points to the underdog. You most often find spreads with half-points attached, which is known as a “hook.” The hook avoids the possibility of a push (or tie).
      Example: Miami +5.5, Dallas -5.5
The team with the negative number next to its name is the favorite; in this case, it is Dallas (-5.5). If you bet on the Mavericks against the spread, they have to win the game by at least six points for you to win your bet. Dallas is said to be “laying” 5.5 points in these circumstances. Another way to look at it is subtracting 5.5 points from the Mavericks final score at the end of the game. If the Mavericks still have more points after subtracting 5.5, then they cover the spread. In order to cover the spread, the favored team not only needs to win the game – they must do so by a specified number of points.
The Miami Heat have a positive number next to their team name, indicating they are the underdog. They do not have to win the game outright for you to win your bet. So long as they don’t lose by more than five points, you’ll come out a winner. Obviously, you would also win your bet if the Miami Heat won the game outright.

Betting the NBA Moneyline

      While less popular than betting the spread, the NBA moneyline is the easiest basketball bet to understand. When betting the moneyline, you are simply picking the team that will win the game. NBA Moneyline bets are easy to understand, but they offer a poor return on investment when betting on the favorite.
      Example: Miami +180, Dallas -250
The NBA odds attached dictate your potential payout and the sportsbook’s implied probability. Dallas remains the favorite on the moneyline, as indicated by the negative number (-250) next to the team name. But, in this case, that number means something different: a -250 moneyline tells bettors that they need to wager $250 on Dallas in order to win $100. The positive number next to the Miami Heat (+180) gives us similar information, with one key difference. It tells bettors how much they will win on a $100 bet, in this case $180.

Betting NBA Totals (Over/Under)

      When betting the “total” on NBA games, you are no longer concerned with which team will win the game. Instead, your focus is strictly on how many points will be scored overall. You may also hear this type of bet referred to as “over-under betting.”
      Example: Miami/Dallas Over 119.5(-115) Under 119.5 (-110) Sticking with our Miami/Dallas example, the sportsbook has set the total at 119.5 points. Again, the half-point (hook) is present to prevent a push. You have two options when betting totals: over (more than 119.5 points will be scored between both teams) or under (less than 119.5 points will be scored overall).
      When betting on the “total,” The moneyline shown in parentheses next to your choice determines the payout. This is calculated just like the NBA Moneylines above. Your focus on a NBA Totals Wager is strictly on how many points will be scored overall by both NBA teams combined.
