Nba Basketball Picks - March 20, 2009
We finished 1-2 last night as we saw a potential 2-1 winning night dissolve into a losing one, thanks to regulation time UNDER, climb OVER in OT. Oh well, these things happen, so we move on today with three more premium picks including a 5-unit and a 4-unit play. Since mid-November, we are 210-163 for 56%.

Today's NBA Basketball Picks:
Game: Sacramento at New York Knicks (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Sacramento +9.5 (-110) (risk 5 to win 4.6)
The Kings have not been competitive in the win column on the road, as they come in with a dismal 4-31 road record. They have been highly competitive against the number vs. the teams with a losing record on the season. The Kings have put together a 9-4 ATS mark on the road against teams with a losing record. The Knicks aren't winning a lot of games, but when they do, it isn't by very big margins. Over the last two months, the Knicks own one win by more than nine points. What was a red-hot offense for the Knicks, scoring 100+ in 26 straight games, has gone cold as they have averaged just 94.6 points per game in their last three, and have failed to reach the century mark in each of their last two. There are too many points here, so I'm taking Sacramento.
Game: Boston at San Antonio (8:30 PM Eastern)Pick: 3 units on San Antonio -250 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 1.2)Pick: 4 units on Game Total UNDER 182.5 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)
The Boston Celtics have fallen off, but they have been bitten by the injury bug, so San Antonio is catching them at the right time. The Celtics are a mediocre 10-9 over their last 19 games, and have dropped four of their last five on the road. Those road losses include the LA Clippers, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The Spurs are 36-14 over their last 50 games, including 19-4 at home. The Celtics still play defense, especially in the big games, as they are now 18-5 to the UNDER on the road vs. teams with a home winning percentage of .600+. The Celtics will bring their defense, but it won't be good enough as the Spurs can match them. I like this one to go to the Spurs on the moneyline, as well as the UNDER.
Results: 2-1

Atlanta goes for the perfect 7-0 on this home stand and I really like them to accomplish it. Dallas has a 16-19 record on the road this season while the Hawks are nearly unbeatable at Phillips Arena. ...

There is no doubt about the Cavaliers strength at home. The NBA's overall defensive leader in points allowed at 91.3 is even stronger defensively at home. The Cavs are allowing just 86.6 points pe...

The Houston Rockets have been punishing teams at home all season where they are 27-8. The road has met them with a much different fate as they are a below .500 team on the highway. It won’t help...
