Today's NBA Basketball Picks:
Game: San Antonio at Orlando (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on First Half UNDER 95 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)
San Antonio's offense is average at best while their defense is very good. OVer their last five games they have stepped it up, holding opponents to 44.0 ppg in the first half. Orlando has also stepped up their defense, holding opponents to 42.8 in the first half over their last five. Both of these teams are UNDER teams combining for a 79-61 overall UNDER mark and 42-29 when looking at the Spurs' road games and Magic home games. The Spurs are 13-5 UNDER in the first half in expected close games this season (line of -1.5 to +1.5). Orlando lost to the Spurs 128-110 back in November but this one will be much lower. The Magic are 9-1 UNDER int he first half this season at home revenging a loss in which they allowed 100+ points. San Antonio is 14-5 UNDER in the first half this season vs. teams that average 103+ ppg.
Game: Charlotte at Utah (9:00 PM Eastern)Pick: 3 units on Utah -13 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
Utah is now 30-4 here at home and it doesn't get any better than that. They get a team that has lost five straight on the road and owns one of the worst road marks in the NBA at 6-27. The Bobcats have averaged just 88 ppg over their last five games while Utah has gotten 106 per game. Charlotte gives up 103.1 ppg on the road while Utah allows just 95 per contest. The Bobcats are just 4-12 ATS the season vs. teams at .600 or better. They are also 0-7 ATS on the road this season in shootout games (those with a total set at 200+). Meanwhile Utah is 17-7 ATS at home in games with a total of 200 or higher. We like the Jazz to roll here.
Results: 1-1
