Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: New York Knicks at Orlando (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on New York Knicks +11.5 (-110) (risk 2 to win 1.8)

Much to the chagrin of their fans, the Knicks have not put a competitive team on the floor for many years. That comes with a price to fans, but to their backers they remain a solid opportunity, and winning proposition when getting a bundle of points. The Knicks seem to rise up when least expected and fall when expected to win. The result has been a team that is now 25-9 ATS in their last 34 when getting double-digits. The Orlando Magic has locked up the No. 2 seed in the East, with no chance of catching the Cavaliers. They certainly have nothing to play for, and energy expended here should be at a minimum, opening the door for the Knicks to do what they do best - catching the money on the big number. The Knicks get the call.

The Dallas Mavericks have the worst record of any team in the league when it comes to getting the money as a favorite. The Mavs are a woeful 15-33 ATS in their last 48 as a favorite - all this season. The Blazers have had a myriad of injuries to deal with this season, but it shows the depth that this team has. Instead of tiring and wilting down the stretch due to the myriad of injuries, they have not only kept their heads above water, they are showing growth and are 14-3 over their last 17 games. All three of those losses have come on the road, and they have taken their last six at home. The Mavs are a dismal 8-18-1 ATS off one day of rest, and just 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 vs. the Northwest. I'll go with the red-hot Blazers in this one.
