Nba Basketball Picks - March 09, 2010

We hit our lone NBA pick last night and are looking for more today with a pair of premium plays including a 5-unit selection...

Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: Philadelphia at Indiana (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Game Total UNDER 211.5 -110 (risk 5 to win 4.6)

The Sixers have lost eight of their last eleven games, scoring just 96.4 points per game during the span. On the season, Philly road games average 201 points per game while Indiana home games also average 201 per game. Yet this total is set at 211.5? Indiana is 16-12 UNDER this season at home. That includes an 11-3 UNDER mark when instilled as a home favorite. This one goes UNDER the total.

The Kings carry into this game one of the worst road records in the NBA at just 6-27 on the season. That usually means a few padded points by the books, and value being served on the dog here. Sure enough the Kings are 6-2 ATS when taking 7 or more points. Portland has managed to do better than expected when you consider the injuries that have plagued this team as they are nine games over .500. This price is very high on them here as they have not been an 8.5 favorite but once in their last 47 games. The Kings have done well here as they have only failed to cover in one of the last six visits. I'll go with Sacramento here.
