Saturday Four-Pack of NBA Free Picks

With the regular season moving into further along into what promises to be a fast and furious finish, let’s get started.

Orlando at Philadelphia

Heading into Friday’s action, the Magic had won three of its last four contests, covering the spread in each victory. The Magic have also beaten Philadelphia in three straight and seven of the last eight meetings against Philly while going an impressive 5-2 ATS in their last seven.

The struggling Sixers snapped a four-game losing streak by beating lowly Washington 108-98 to snap a five-game ATS winless streak.

Expect the Magic to win this contest despite being on the road, but don’t expect a blowout as Orlando has won the last two in Philly by two points each time. If the spread tops five points, the Sixers cover. Anything less than that and I say jump on the Magic.

The Pick: Orlando 103 Philadelphia 98

New York at Miami

The Knicks may be in the process of rebuilding under up-tempo head coach Mike D’Antoni, but they’ve won a surprising four straight over the mediocre Heat and superstar D-Wade.

Miami has alternated wins and losses in a whopping eight consecutive games while going just 3-5 ATS during the span.

While the Knicks can score the ball with any team in the league and are playing respectable basketball at the moment, something tells me Wade and rookie Michael Beasley are not going to let the Heat fall in this matchup.

The Pick: Miami 108 New York 104

Houston at Chicago

The Rockets absolutely pounded the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday and should be well-rested for this matchup against a Bulls team that has gone 1-2 in its last three and just 5-5 in its last 10 contests.

Keep it simple here NBA bettors. If the line doesn’t surpass eight or nine points, take the Rockets to cover. However, anything past 10 points and the Bulls could cover.

The Pick: Rockets 101 Bulls 93

Washington at Milwaukee

The Bucks have dropped of its last four but should be able to take down a Washington Wizards team that has dropped two straight and four of six overall. If Milwaukee loses to New Orleans on Friday night as I expect, they could rout the Wiz behind terrific point guard Ramon Sessions and blossoming forward Charlie Villanueva.

If the line doesn’t go over five or six points at the maximum, I say take the Bucks to cover.

The Pick: Milwaukee 107 Washington 101
