by Josh Schonwald - 3/29/2014

The Suns are hot lately and their strong play has allowed them to overtake Dallas for the 8th spot in the Western Conference playoffs. They look to continue streaking upwards against the down and out Lakers on Sunday. Phoenix put together a 5-game win streak against teams they were supposed to beat.

Toronto Raptors at Orlando Magic Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/29/2014

Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors used a big third quarter to beat the Orlando Magic 105-90 the last time these two teams saw each other. The Magic were playing without top scorer Arron Afflalo, which ended up hurting them because no Orlando player could match the Raptors' hot shooting after the first quarter.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Brooklyn Nets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/29/2014

The Brooklyn Nets last faced the Minnesota Timberwolves back in late November in a game that Minnesota won 111-81 during the Nets' worst run of the season. All five Minnesota starters scored in double figures and used a great first quarter to dominate the Nets throughout.

Chicago Bulls at Boston Celtics Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/29/2014

In their first meeting of the season, the Chicago Bulls were able to beat the Boston Celtics 94-82 thanks to solid defensive play and a near triple-double from Joakim Noah. The All-Star center came just one assist shy of getting the fourth triple-double of his career, while he and his teammates forced the Celtics into 19 turnovers.

Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/29/2014

The Memphis Grizzlies got a big 109-99 win when they played the Portland Trail Blazers on March 11. The victory gave the Grizzlies a much higher chance of grabbing one of the final playoff positions in the Western Conference. The Blazers lost despite getting a great game out of point guard Damian Lillard.

Indiana Pacers at Cleveland Cavaliers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/29/2014

The Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers were in a low-scoring affair the last time they saw each other, with the Pacers edging out the 82-78 road win. After Indiana had a pretty comfortable lead throughout the game, the Cavs came up just short as Indiana's defense stepped up to make sure they came away with the victory.

Sacramento Kings at Dallas Mavericks Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/28/2014

After back to back matchups with the Western Conference elite, Dallas gets somewhat of a break with Sacramento coming to town. It will be interesting to see how much the Mavericks have left in the tank after games with the Thunder and Clippers, but they'll get the benefit of being on an 8-game home stand and playing a Kings team that plays two nights in a row.

Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/28/2014

As the season winds down fans aren't always treated to gems like Wednesday night's Pacers/Heat matchup. Instead, sometimes the Pistons and 76ers meet up like they do Saturday night in Philadelphia. There have been about 5,000-8,000 no-shows at the Wells-Fargo Center during the 76ers losing slide which actually doesn't seem that bad.

Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/28/2014

The Rockets will look to defend one of the best home court advantages in the NBA when they take on the streaking Clippers on Saturday. The two teams are currently locked into the #3 and #4 seeds in the Western Conference with the 4th place Rockets perhaps holding the better playoff projection against the slumping Trail Blazers.

Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/28/2014

Somebody give the Hawks some crutches because they're redefining limping into the playoffs. At a time of year when teams are supposed to be surging and playing their best basketball, Atlanta is sliding badly. The schedule isn't giving them a break either with three games in four nights culminating with a Saturday night matchup with the playoff bound Wizards in Washington.

Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/28/2014

The Miami Heat have aspirations for a fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals. One by-product of those extended playoff runs is it's extremely tiresome on players' bodies and the Heat have been showing some effects of that lately. After a one point loss to the Pacers Wednesday, Miami all but missed out on home court in the East.

New Orleans Pelicans at San Antonio Spurs Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/28/2014

It's been tough for opposing teams to go into the AT&T Center in San Antonio and escape with a win, but with the best record in the NBA the Spurs don't plan on going anywhere. To compound the interest in the game is a passing of the guard of sorts as Tim Duncan winds down his career and Anthony Davis discovers he just may be unstoppable.

Los Angeles Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/27/2014

The Los Angeles Lakers weren't able to handle Kevin Love the last time they played the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game they ended up losing 109-99 on the road in early February. The Timberwolves got off to a great start by outscoring the Lakers 38-26 in the first quarter and never lost the lead after that.

Sacramento Kings at Oklahoma City Thunder Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/27/2014

Kevin Durant was coming off his big 54-point scoring night the last time the Oklahoma City Thunder played the Sacramento Kings, and while he couldn't match that performance, he did help his team to a 108-93 home victory. This was a pretty close game until the Thunder broke out in the third quarter to take a 15-point lead into the fourth quarter.

San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/27/2014

The San Antonio Spurs continued their home dominance when they beat the Denver Nuggets 108-103 this past Wednesday. Denver was able to cut into the lead with a late run, but it wasn't enough to stop the Spurs from winning their 15th game in a row.

New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/27/2014

The Knicks need to get right on their West Coast road swing if they expect to have any chance of catching Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the East. Phoenix would love nothing more than to give New York another blowout beating as the Lakers did Tuesday to keep the Suns neck and neck with Dallas.

Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/27/2014

Memphis needs to be careful as they start a five game road trip at Golden State Friday night, because their playoff hopes are anything but set in stone. Phoenix is coming hard and are only Ѕ a game behind the Grizzlies as we enter single-digit games left in the season.

Boston Celtics at Toronto Raptors Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/27/2014

The Toronto Raptors were able to beat the Boston Celtics in Boston this past Wednesday to get a bit closer to securing a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors haven't made the playoffs since back in 2008, but with their win they just needed a Knicks loss to make it into the postseason.

Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/27/2014

The Washington Wizards had a rough game against the Indiana Pacers the last time these two teams played, as the Pacers were able to dominate on their way to a 93-66 win. The Wizards weren't able to score over 20 points in any of the four quarters thanks to poor shooting from them and solid defense by Indiana.

Charlotte Bobcats at Orlando Magic Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/27/2014

The Charlotte Bobcats were able to beat the Orlando Magic 111-101 the last time these two teams played despite blowing a huge first half lead. The Bobcats, who had lost nine of their past 11 going into the game, were able to finish off the Magic by making 16 of the 20 free throws they shot in the fourth quarter.
