by Tony Sink - 3/20/2014

With the New York Knicks hot on their trail, the Atlanta Hawks have effectively turned their season around with 5 straight victories and will be well rested when the Pelicans come to town Friday night. Even though they're out of the playoff race, New Orleans has played well lately and will look to continue to build moving forward towards next year.

by Josh Schonwald - 3/20/2014

Even though they'll never catch Philadelphia or Milwaukee, it appears the Boston Celtics may have finally entered tank mode to finish out their 2014 season. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett likely hold no ill will about leaving Boston as the Nets' hot March surges them towards the playoffs.

Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/20/2014

The Mavericks have used a 22-10 record at home to overtake the 7th playoff spot in the Western Conference and will look to build on that during an 8 game home stand as the season winds down. The Nuggets find themselves on the road once again even after completing a 5 game trip only a week ago.

by Guy Bruhn - 3/20/2014

The Los Angeles Lakers added to their three game losing streak when they dropped another game to the Washington Wizards with a 116-111 loss when these 2 teams last played. The Wizards are not the toughest team in the NBA but they did have two hot players on this night.

by Tony Sink - 3/20/2014

There is no secret about it, the Philadelphia 76ers have had a struggling season and things would not get better for them when they played the New York Knicks last time. The Knicks added a fourth game to their win streak in a game where they had four players score more than 20 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Toronto Raptors Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/20/2014

The Toronto Raptors have been looking good on the road this season. They came into Oklahoma City and handed the Thunder their first home loss of the season when these teams last met. The game was clinched with Kyle Lowry making two free throws with 9.8 seconds to go in the game, and he finished with 22 points.

Detroit Pistons at Phoenix Suns Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/20/2014

With a 2 point win over the Phoenix Suns, the Detroit Pistons used Josh Smith and his last-minute drive to the rim to win the game 110-108 the last time these 2 teams played. Smith had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Brandon Jennings helped out with 18 assists, the most in the NBA this season.

San Antonio Spurs at Sacramento Kings Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/20/2014

The Sacramento Kings were looking to break a seven game losing streak coming into San Antonio when these two teams last played. The Spurs were on a three game losing streak, but they were also staring down their annual “Rodeo Road Trip” that puts them on the road for about a month.

Chicago Bulls at Indiana Pacers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/20/2014

The Chicago Bulls moved on to a four-game winning streak by handing the Indiana Pacers their first loss of the season when these 2 teams met last. The Pacers were the only unbeaten team that remained in the NBA. The Bulls' Derrick Rose was not sure if he was going to play because of a sore right hamstring that he injured a few games prior.

Washington Wizards at Portland Trail Blazers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/19/2014

The last thing Washington needed as they prepare for their first postseason since 2008 is a four game West Coast road trip. Luckily the Eastern Conference is so down this year that even a late season swoon won't hurt the Wizards' seeding. Portland is in a similar situation where poor play recently likely won't derail their Western Conference 5th or 6th seed.

Milwaukee Bucks at Golden State Warriors Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/19/2014

With 14 games to go Milwaukee can see the worst record in the NBA in their grasp. Since it's obvious Philadelphia doesn't plan on winning again this season the Bucks can help themselves with a 6th straight loss Thursday night in Golden State. The Warriors will look for a win to continue their strong play as of late and to complete a successful 5 game home stand.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Houston Rockets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/19/2014

Minnesota trails the playoff race by 5.5 games and with only 17 games left the dream could be over. Houston on the other hand is well tuned for a long playoff run, currently sitting in the 4th seed in the West. Houston had a minor hiccup recently, dropping three straight on visits to Oklahoma City, Chicago, and Miami.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Cleveland Cavaliers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/19/2014

The San Antonio Spurs are red hot but still haven't been able to pull away from Oklahoma City for the #1 seed in the Western Conference. The Thunder currently trail the Spurs by 1.5 games with a visit to the slumping Cavs forthcoming.

Detroit Pistons at Denver Nuggets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/18/2014

Detroit has put themselves in a hole with poor play lately that has all but assured that they'll miss the Eastern Conference playoffs for the 5th straight year. Denver finds themselves in a similar situation – not good enough for the playoffs but not horrible enough for lottery pick. Detroit's free fall into obscurity came at a pretty inopportune time as they were battling to overtake Atlanta for the 8th spot in the playoffs.

Indiana Pacers at New York Knicks Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/18/2014

The Indiana Pacers need 12 wins in their last 16 games to tie the 61 win season franchise mark put up by Reggie Miller, Ron Artest and the gang in the 2003/04 season. The Knicks would need nothing short of a miracle down the stretch to make up a 3.5 game deficit with only 15 contests left.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Dallas Mavericks Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/18/2014

Another mundane season is winding down for Minnesota while Dallas would love nothing better than to move up from the #7 spot in the West and avoid a first round matchup with Oklahoma City. The Mavericks currently trail Golden State by 1.5 games while awaiting two more matchups with the Thunder down the stretch.

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/18/2014

No team is going to catch Milwaukee or Philadelphia in the chase for the league's worst record even though Boston hasn't been playing the best basketball lately. Miami will be picking and choosing their spots to rest up veteran players for the playoffs on the second half of a back to back game.

Charlotte Bobcats at Brooklyn Nets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/18/2014

The best NBA game Wednesday night just might be the Charlotte Bobcats heading to Brooklyn to take on the Nets. Both teams are in the Eastern Conference playoffs fighting for seeding to avoid Miami in the first round. The squads are both streaking as well. It's been beneficial to be a Brooklyn bettor lately as they recently won ATS in 7 of 10 games.

Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/18/2014

Potential playoff teams know just how important it is to take advantage of matchups against NBA bottom feeders and that's exactly the position Memphis finds themselves in Wednesday night. The Grizzlies hold a slight advantage over Phoenix for the #8 spot in the Western Conference playoffs and a victory at home over last place Utah is extremely important.

Toronto Raptors at New Orleans Pelicans Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/18/2014

The Raptors are so close to their 2nd Atlantic Division title in team history and 1st since 2007 that they can smell it. The hard charging Nets aren't giving up though and stranger things have happened other than losing a 4 game cushion with 16 to play. As they say it's always better to be safe than sorry so the Raptors should just do their jobs against the New Orleans Pelicans.
