Indiana at Washington 7:00 PM ET

NBA Odds

Washington -2.5

Over/Under 195.5

Analysis: The Indiana Pacers have lost two straight while the Washington Wizards have dropped three in a row. Indiana has compiled a bankroll-draining 0-7-1 ATS mark over its last eight games while Washington gone 3-2 against the online NBA betting odds over its last five games.

Prediction: In spite of their most recent loss against Boston on Tuesday night, the Indiana Pacers played very well and I expect them to not only cover the NBA betting line, but do so by picking up the outright road win against the Wizards as both teams average just about

NBA Picks: Indiana Pacers +2.5 Points

Cleveland at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET  

NBA Odds

Charlotte -7.5

Over/Under 197.5

Analysis: The Cavaliers have lost four consecutive games while failing to cash in against the NBA Betting line each time out. The Charlotte Bobcats looked like a different team in their first game under Paul Silas on Tuesday night, beating Detroit 105-100 and I like them to win again tonight as they play a more up-tempo, relaxed style than they ever did under Larry Brown.

Prediction: Charlotte gets a fine effort from D.J. Augustin and Stephen Jackson tonight to narrowly cover the NBA betting line.

NBA Picks: Charlotte Bobcats -7.5 Points

Boston at Detroit 7:30 PM ET

NBA Odds

Boston -6

Over/Under 186

Analysis: The Celtics got back in the win column by beating Indiana last night while cashing in against the NBA betting odds just as I predicted. The Detroit Pistons have lost two straight games but have cashed in against the pro hoops betting line in four straight.

Prediction: Boston has gone 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against Detroit and I like them to cover the NBA betting odds against the Pistons again tonight.

NBA Picks: Boston Celtics -6 Points

LA Lakers at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET

NBA Odds

Los Angeles -3

Over/Under 190

Analysis: The Los Angeles Lakers are playing some pitiful basketball right now, not having scored more than 82 points in each of its last three games (it’s true) while the New Orleans Hornets looked clueless in losing to Minnesota 113-98 on Monday night.

Prediction: I’m backing the Lakers to cash in against the basketball betting line tonight as the road team in this series has gone 9-3 against the BetOnline NBA betting odds over the last dozen meetings. The Lakers know they had better get their act together quickly and I say they get a good opportunity to do just that when they visit the mediocre Hornets tonight.

NBA Picks: Los Angeles Lakers -3 Points
