NBA Basketball Wagering – Thursday Night Free Picks
Our Sportsbooks: Detroit Pistons (26-9) @ San Antonio Spurs (23-10)
The Detroit Pistons continue their Texas Two-Step as they head to San Antonio on Thursday night. On Wednesday, they lost in Dallas 102-86.
The Pistons were one of the leagues hottest teams but have lost two straight.
Detroit has faired well against the spread in back-to-back games and against the Southwest Division. They are 7-1 ATS in back-to-backs and 5-1 against the Southwest.
The San Antonio Spurs are 17-2 in home games but have taken advantage of a softer schedule. They are only 7-8 against teams with a winning record while the Pistons are 10-4 against teams who have a record above .500.
The Pistons are 2-0 against the spread in the last two meetings in San Antonio.
Free Pick: Detroit +4
Memphis Grizzlies (10-24) @ Sacramento Kings (13-20)
The Memphis Grizzlies haven’t won in Sacramento in nearly a decade. They have lost 17 straight at Arco Arena. That might change since this is probably the worst Sacramento team they’ve faced to date.
Sacramento’s top three players are absent as Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Ron Artest are all out. But the Kings have played royally against losing teams this year and have covered in 11 of 16 games.
Both teams are NBA cellar-dwellers but the Kings are the hotter team – if you can call it that. They have won two of their last four (but only two of their last eight) while Memphis has also won two of their last four (but only two of their last nine).
Free Pick: Sacramento -4.5
Phoenix Suns (25-10) @ Utah Jazz (19-17)
Just how much of an MVP is Steve Nash? We’ll find out on Thursday as the Phoenix Suns will travel to Utah without their All Star point guard.
Nash left Wednesday night’s contest while battling the flu and the Suns struggled after his departure. The Suns needed overtime to dispose of the feeble Indiana Pacers, who were without their franchise player, Jermaine O’Neal. Phoenix was 2-4 in games Nash missed last year.
The Suns are already without Grant Hill, who will miss two weeks with an appendectomy.
Utah is 13-3 at home this season and has covered in 10 of the games. They are also 4-0 ATS & SU at home when the total is set at 210 or higher.
Phoenix has struggled against losing outfits this year and hasn’t posted a ton of blowouts. But against winning teams, they typically bring a stronger effort. They are 70-44 in the last three years against teams above .500.
The OVER has hit three of the last four Suns games and four of the last six Jazz games.
Free Pick: Utah -5.5
