New series: NBA Turn Up

Thanks to those that take the time to read. Please, follow along on our socials and good luck to us!

• 6:00pm cst: Milwaukee Bucks (-13) vs. Detroit Pistons

The Bucks will be without Giannis and Jrue Holiday tonight. Will that be enough for the Pistons to keep up in this game? The Pistons are in full tank mode and have been in abused the past couple weeks. Not sure how anyone could back the Pistons so its either Bucks or pass for me. I like Jaden Ivey to have another good game especially without Jrue Holiday guarding him.

Pick: Bucks -13

Brook Lopez Over 19.5 Points (-115)

Kris Middleton Over 22.5 Points (-130)

• 6:00pm cst: Dallas Mavericks (-6) vs Indiana Pacers

The Mavericks and Pacers couldn’t be any colder. Dallas has lost 4 games in a row with back to back against the Hornets. Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield. Luke Doncic is the only player that can be trusted on this Mavericks team right now. They are in bad shape.

Pick: Pacers +6

Andrew Nembhard Over 13.5 Points (-125)

• 6:30pm cst: Houston Rockets vs. New York Knicks (-13.5)

Waiting to hear whether Jalen Brunson plays or not but I don’t have interest laying the large number or taking it. Rockets are on the 2nd half of a back to back and they are terrible in those situations. The Knicks or nothing. If Brunson doesn’t start I like Immanuel Quickley’s points over but it hasn’t posted yet.

Pick: Knicks -13.5

• 8:00pm cst: Phoenix Suns (-5) vs. Utah Jazz

Suns are coming off an impressive home win against the 76ers now are on the road against Utah. Deandre Ayton is back in the lineup for the Suns and Markannen is back for the Jazz. A lot of these player prop numbers are a bit high for this one.

Pick: NA

• 8:30pm cst: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Denver Nuggets (-7)

Joel Embiid decided to sit this game out and will not be facing reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. I think he will put on a show for the home crowd. Looks like James Harden also making his return. The 76ers do have success without Embiid but Harden usually doesn’t have massive games.

Pick: Nikola Jokic Over 47.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-115)

James Harden Under 40.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-105)

9:00pm cst: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Sacramento Kings (-7)

The Timberwolves are on a back to back but have had plenty of success in this situation. Minnesota is also on a three game winning streak. This may be a nice buy low spot for the Timberwolves even without Karl Anthony Towns.

Pick: Timberwolves +7

Domantas Sabonis Over 39.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-120)

9:00pm cst: New Orleans Pelicans (-11) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Portland is sitting a lot of its players as they are in rebuilding / tank mode. Pelicans are on a 4 game winning streak and Portland is on the second half of a back to back.

Pick: Pelicans -11

Brandon Ingram Over 26.5 Points (-130)

Shaedon Sharp Over 20.5 Points (-105)

• 9:30pm cst: Chicago Bulls vs. LA Clippers (-4.5)

The Bulls are currently surging and the Clippers are striving to get back on track from the All Star break. Time is running out. Now with Paul George out a substantial amount of time the Clippers need to stay on top of the standings.

Pick: Bulls +4.5

Demar DeRozan Over 21.5 Points (-125)

***The other games will be posted once more lineup information is available.
