Daily NBA Betting Picks – Thunder Host Hornets On Minimal Rest

The New Orleans Hornets had been a gold mine in Basketball betting picks up until the last week. Since then they’ve lost to San Antonio, Utah and the L.A. Clippers by an average point differential of -12.0 points against. When they lose games, they lose them badly. Still, they might be catching the Thunder at the right time.

Oklahoma City posted a loss to the lowly Houston Rockets by a score of 98-99 Sunday night, the same night that the Hornets were bashed over the head by the San Antonio Spurs. Granted, that was a road game but the Thunder have not been great in NBA betting picks while at home. They’re currently 2-6 ATS in their past 8 games at Ford Center.

Historically, they’ve also been murdered by the Hornets straight up. The Hornets are 10-2 SU in their last 12 games against the Thunder and are 4-1 SU on the road in Oklahoma City.

NBA Betting Line: Oklahoma City -3.5 (200.0)

I start all of my NBA betting picks breakdowns at the point-guard position, and this is a terrific matchup. Chris Paul is undeniably the best point man in the league, but Russell Westbrook has elevated his game when playing the best of the best at his position. There’s something inside of him that triggers against the elite point guards.

Westbrook has instead been the key to the Thunder’s success, and not Durant. With 24.1 points per game and 8.6 helpers, Westbrook is not-so-quietly making his very own MVP campaign and the combination with Durant is becoming unstoppable.

Paul and Okafor have been great in NBA betting picks but a recent skid isn’t helping the NBA betting community’s confidence in them and the Thunder are on a steady rise back to the forefront. They’ll make an even stronger case when they catch the Hornets at the right time and turn around their long history of losing to them in NBA betting picks.

UTAH JAZZ -8.5 over Milwaukee Bucks (9:00pm EST)

The Bucks have been a miserable NBA betting picks team this year at just 6-10 ATS. They’re an even 3-5 ATS on the road, as well as at home, and while they have the league’s best defense they also don’t have the scoring punch that made them spread busters in the past. Utah is simply firing on all cylinders right now in a 5-0 SU winning streak with a promising 5-4 ATS record at home and I’m willing to take a flier as the Bucks are caught in a rough losing stretch at just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games with Bogus bothered by back and elbow problems.

Washington Wizards -12.0 over MIAMI HEAT (7:30pm EST)

Yes, the Heat are playing at home but I’ve been advising to go against LeBron and Wade until they start proving they’re a decent cover team. They’re 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games, and mumblings in Miami are just getting worse. They can’t guard point men and while Wall still has a long way to go, there’s no way you can trust the Heat in NBA betting picks against the spread.
