NBA Picks

The one-win Houston Rockets head into Minnesota Saturday night to take on the Timberwolves as +10 underdogs. They’re catching the T-Wolves on the second game of a back-to-back. Get our Hou/Min prediction here!

The Denver Nuggets have really turned it around after somewhat of a slow start. Can they cover a huge -10.5 at home against the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night? Get our Den/S.A. pick here!

In the three match-ups last year Joel Embiid averaged 26 points and 9 rebounds in only 28 minutes per game. If Ben Simmons is unable to go tonight, the offense will run through the post, and the big Cameroonian is going to do what he does best – dominate and talk smack. Is he enough to handle Detroit and revived Blake Griffin? Kyle Cash has his NBA prediction.

Last season, the Orlando Magic came out like gangbusters for the first couple of weeks of the season. Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic were making threes like a jumbo version of the Splash Brothers, and their 6-2 start to the 2017-18 season is probably, like, the 5th best Orlando Magic moment in team history. Which version of the Magic should you expect versus the Celts? Kyle Cash has his NBA pick.

We are still waiting to hear from the league about possible suspensions for last night’s altercation, but I think it is safe to assume that Houston will be without Chris Paul for tonight’s affair. So both the Clippers and the Rockets are without Chris Paul! Who has the advantage in this Paul-less game?

the Lakers are a mess. Lonzo and Rondo are repetitive and not helpful, Ingram and Kuzma still look a year away, and LeBron’s Tonto to his Lone Ranger is a 24-year old sophomore in Josh Hart. It might take a while to iron out the wrinkles of their scheme, but for now, we can at least expect the Lakers to not shoot 7-for-30 from behind the arc. The Lakers want to have a good game at home but can they handle Houston? Kyle Cash gives his prediction.
