NBA Picks and Previews

Portland Trailblazers at Denver Nuggets Preview and Pick

Posted by: Jay Horne on Mar. 6th, 2010

The Denver Nuggets host the Portland Trailblazers in a late Sunday night Northwest division showdown inside Pepsi Arena. Denver owns the 2nd best Western Conference record at 41-21 and their postseason future appears bright especially with their success over the Lakers this season. Denver also owns one of the best home records in the NBA at 27-5 and will be 6 point favorites over the Trailblazers this Sunday. Portland has won 3 straight games and 5 of their last 6 outings. The Trailblazers are also re-energized after having 3 days off which is a fairly sizeable advantage in their favor. However, the Trailblazers recent winning spree has hardly come at the hands of any respectable opponents and it will be interesting to see just how well they are playing when they travel to Denver Sunday night.

Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic Preview and Pick

Posted by: Jay Horne on Mar. 6th, 2010

A rematch of last year’s NBA Finals renews this Sunday when the Orlando Magic host the Los Angeles Lakers. Both teams are yet again front runners in their respected conferences to perhaps making another Finals appearance. The Lakers own the best record in the Western Conference at 46-17 while the Magic own the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference at 43-20. However, the contest will take place at Amway Arena where the Magic are a very strong 24-6. On the other side of the court, the Lakers are just 17-12 away from the Staples Center. Perhaps even more surprising is the Lakers are entering the contest on a rare losing skid having dropped two straight road games to both Miami and Charlotte. If the Lakers were to happen to fall again this Sunday, it would mark the first time they have lost 3 straight regular season games since January of 2008.

New Orleans Hornets at San Antonio Spurs Preview and Pick

Posted by: Jay Horne on Mar. 5th, 2010

The San Antonio Spurs host the New Orleans Hornets in a Friday night showdown amongst contenders from the Southwest division. The Spurs trail the Mavericks by 5 games in the division and come into the game after a brutal road stretch that involved 10 of their last 12 games. The Spurs knocked off the Hornets earlier in the week 106-92 as George Hill led the team with 23 points. If you buy-in to the revenge factor here, many may like the Hornets plus the additional points from the betting lines. However, the Spurs own a 21-10 record on their home court and handled the Hornets fairly easily in their last meeting in San Antonio back in the opener with a 113-96 victory. The Spurs have swept all 3 meetings this year, but the Hornets will attempt to get revenge in the final meeting of the season.

Utah Jazz at Phoenix Suns Preview and Pick

Posted by: Jay Horne on Mar. 4th, 2010

Western Conference action returns Thursday night when the Phoenix Suns host the Utah Jazz in an interesting betting match-up. The Suns own the NBA’s top scoring offense draining 109 points per contest and the Jazz can light up the score board on any given night as well. Utah will actually enter the game on a rare two day’s rest which should give them a good edge. However, the Jazz were upset by the Clippers in their last outing 108-104. The surprising loss opened a lot of eyes because that was Utah’s 3rd loss in their last 5 games and the Jazz, who were one of the hottest teams in the league, have seemingly lost their momentum. The Suns roll into the contest after a late road trip where they blasted the Clippers 127-101. The Suns have now won 7 of their last 8 games and will be slight favorites when the Jazz come into town.
