Houston Rockets at Orlando Magic Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/4/2014

The last time the Orlando Magic faced the Houston Rockets, the Magic were defeated 98-88. Behind James Harden's 27 point, eight rebound and 10 assist performance, the Rockets were able to hold on. Dwight Howard also had a big game against his former team by adding 20 points and 22 rebounds.

Indiana Pacers at Charlotte Bobcats Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Alan Matthews - 3/4/2014

The last time these two teams met, the Indiana Pacers had won 10 straight at home and were looking for their 11th straight against the Charlotte Bobcats. The Pacers won the game 99-94 even with Paul George having an off night. The 11th win at home in a row to start the season was a franchise record.

Atlanta Hawks at Portland Trailblazers Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Alan Matthews - 3/4/2014

On Wednesday, March 5, the Atlanta Hawks will be visiting the Portland Trailblazers. The Hawks are coming off a loss at the hands of the Phoenix Suns by a score of 129-120. In that game, the Hawks ran into an offensively sharp Suns team. The Suns were setting season highs in multiple categories.

Utah Jazz at Washington Wizards Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/4/2014

On March 5, the Utah Jazz will be visiting the Washington Wizards. In their last matchup on January 25, the Jazz were able to pull out a 104-101 win at home. Enes Kanter was a force in the middle and led Utah with 24 points, five rebounds and two assists.

San Antonio Spurs at Cleveland Cavaliers Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 3/3/2014

I really can't figure the Cleveland Cavaliers out. On pure talent alone, this team should be in the Eastern Conference playoffs and not ninth. The only thing keeping the Cavs alive is that the No. 8 Hawks are terrible. I thought the Cavs had figured things out when they won a season-high six straight games from Feb. 7-19. Then, in typical Cavs fashion, they lost their next three, including very winnable ones at home against Washington and Toronto.

Los Angeles Lakers at Portland Trail Blazers Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 3/3/2014

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to make it two in a row this Monday night when they tangle with the Portland Trail Blazers, who just so happen to be riding a five-game winning streak into this Western Conference clash. The game will be available on NBA League Pass.

Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/3/2014

When the Detroit Pistons visited the Chicago Bulls on December 7th, the Bulls were a completely different team. Derrick Rose and Luol Deng were both out, but the Bulls hadn't learned how to play without them. The big men for the Pistons along with Brandon Jennings were too much for the Bulls on that night.

Golden State Warriors at Boston Celtics Free NBA Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/3/2014

When the Celtics visited Oakland in January, it was a Stephen Curry jump shot with 2.1 seconds left that won it for Golden State. David Lee set the pick that set up Curry to hit the winning jumper over Kris Humpries. Andre Iguodala had 22 points, seven assists and five rebounds, and Curry finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Warriors.

Washington Wizards at Philadelphia 76ers Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/28/2014

Hall of Famer Jerry West is one of the most important and influential men in NBA history. On the court he was a singular talent, to the point he is the league's logo. As an executive, he helped build the Los Angeles Lakers into the marquee franchise in the sport. The guy wins everywhere he goes (also stops with Memphis and Golden State). So when he talks, people listen.

Golden State Warriors vs. New York Knicks Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 2/27/2014

The Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks will do battle Friday night in a game that will be nationally televised by ESPN. While the Warriors will have Thursday night off, the Knicks will be in Miami taking on the Miami Heat. Golden State and New York haven’t played so far this season. They split their season series last year, with each team winning on their home court.

New York Knicks at Miami Heat Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/27/2014

You know how the NFL goes largely by the previous year's standings to determine which teams play in the Monday night and Sunday night highly-rated games? (Every team plays once on Thursday night). Perhaps the NBA will go to that model starting in 2014-15, and then we won't be subject to having the New York Knicks on national TV just about every night. Yet again the Knicks are featured in the TNT doubleheader this week as they visit Miami for the first time this season.

Houston Rockets at Los Angeles Clippers Free NBA Picks, Odds and Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 2/25/2014

The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers sit third and fourth in the Western Conference standings. Only half of a game separates them. Oklahoma City and San Antonio are in the driver’s seat in the Western Conference, but Houston and Los Angeles are battling with Portland for the third-best record in the West.

Free NBA Picks: Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/24/2014

I absolutely loved what the Cavaliers did before last Thursday's trade deadline in acquiring center Spencer Hawes from Philadelphia, yet it has not had the desired effect thus far. Cleveland took a six-game winning streak into the deadline and is 0-2 since then despite Hawes playing pretty well. The Cavs are now five games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. I still think they get in -- barring an injury to Kyrie Irving -- because No. 8 Atlanta is sliding in a big way.

Free NBA Picks: Golden State Warriors at Detroit Pistons Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 2/24/2014

The Golden State Warriors kick off an extended six-game road trip through the Eastern Conference this Monday night with a stop at the Palace of Auburn Hills to face the Detroit Pistons.This game is scheduled to tip off at 7:30 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on NBA League Pass.

Free NBA Picks: Los Angeles Clippers at Oklahoma City Thunder Odds and Predictions
by Chad Matthews - 2/22/2014

Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook, both recently returned from injury, will face off against each other during the Sunday matinee as the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Los Angeles Clippers at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Each player returned to his respective lineup this week after missing a god amount of time due to injuries, and as expected it will take time for the teams to adjust to these players back into their offense.

Free NBA Picks: Brooklyn Nets at Golden State Warriors Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/21/2014

If you are judging the moves made before Thursday's NBA trade deadline solely on the quality of talent acquired or a need filled and not paying attention to current or future salary cap implications -- I don't pay their salaries so what do I care? -- then I would argue four teams were clear winners: Indiana, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Golden State. The latter two face off Saturday night in Oakland in what I suppose could be an NBA Finals preview if LeBron James, Paul George, Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan and Chris Paul all get injured or drafted into the military before the end of the season.

Free NBA Picks: San Antonio Spurs at Phoenix Suns Odds and Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 2/20/2014

The big news over the past 24 hours in the NBA has been the action at the trade deadline. While it wasn’t an extreme deadline period, there were some notable deals right before the deadline on Thursday. The San Antonio Spurs made a small move at the deadline, while the Phoenix Suns stood pat on deadline day. Both of these teams are apparently comfortable with where they sit right now.

Free NBA Picks: Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/19/2014

In my opinion, this Thursday's game between Miami and Oklahoma City is by far the best TNT matchup of the season and might be the most intense game we see the rest of the regular season unless the April 11 Indiana at Miami game still has relevance in terms of home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference.

Free NBA Picks: Charlotte Bobcats at Detroit Pistons Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/17/2014

It's a pretty important game on Tuesday night in Detroit as the NBA resumes after the all-star break when Charlotte visits the Pistons. The two clubs are in many ways alike, and the Bobcats hold down the No. 8 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with the Pistons just a half game back and with one game in hand -- they are even in the loss department. The clubs play again Wednesday night in North Carolina, so a potentially crucial tiebreaker will be in one of the team's hands by then. That's their third and last meeting of the season.

Free NBA Picks: All-Star Game Odds and Predictions
by Chad Matthews - 2/13/2014

On Sunday, New Orleans will host the 63rd NBA All-Star Game. This one looks to be another classic with many new stars making their all-star debut and old stars proving their continued worth to their respective franchises.
