Free Nba Basketball Picks - March 08, 2010

We got thumped on the NBA floor last night, finishing 0-3. Today we hit back with one premium pick.

Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: New Jersey at Memphis (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on New Jersey +8.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The New Jersey Nets could have packed it in long ago, but to their credit they have fought through a horrifying season, and have advanced their play of late. The Nets are 11-7 ATS in their last 18 games, but more importantly they are 7-1 ATS taking 8 or more points. The Grizzlies have not been a good team in this role of late as they are just 3-7 ATS as a favorite the last 10 occurrences, and have not been this sizeable a favorite all season. The Grizzlies are one of those teams that play to the level of their competition, and in their last seven at home vs. a team with a losing record, they have taken the doughnut at 0-7 ATS. The Nets are playing above their record, making them even more dangerous here. I'll go with New Jersey in this one.
