On Monday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Monday!

NBA Matchup: Minnesota Timberwolves @ Orlando Magic
Date: Monday, February 13th, 7:00 ET
Location: Amway Center, Orlando, FL
NBA Betting Odds: Orlando -5.5
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The oddsmakers have seemingly caught onto the fact that the Magic haven’t been all that stellar of late. The team finally got back on track though over the course of the last week or so, and a 99-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday on the road was a huge triumph for the team. Orlando is still trying to prove that it is an elite team in the East, and if that is the case, games like this should be won significantly more often than not. Though we think that the T’Wolves are a better team than anyone forecasted this year, they aren’t a team that is going to finish .500 in all likelihood. That being said, they have already dropped back to back games, and going on the road isn’t going to help matters on Monday night. Look for the Magic to claim a victory by double digits on Monday.

NBA Pick: Orlando -5.5

NBA Matchup: Phoenix Suns @ Golden State Warriors
Date: Monday, February 13th, 10:30 ET
Location: Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Golden State -4
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

After Head Coach Mark Jackson decided that he was going to bench his entire starting lineup in the fourth quarter of a tight game, the Warriors have seemingly responded. The team’s offense has caught fire again, and that could be bad news for the rest of the conference. Sure, the defense for Golden State is still atrocious, but the Suns, who have more than 99 points scored just twice since the middle of January, won’t be able to take advantage of that fact. Phoenix clearly is the inferior team in this game in our eyes in spite of what the two records say, and playing at Oracle Arena always seems to be a big time boost for the Warriors.

NBA Pick: Golden State -4

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Thursday, 2/9/12.

NBA Matchup: Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics
Date: Thursday, February 9th, 8:00 ET
Location: TD Garden, Boston, MA
NBA Betting Odds: Boston -3.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

The Lakers still look like they have some major problems to us. Sure, they have Kobe Bryant, and sure they have Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, but beyond that, do they have anything whatsoever? Rajon Rondo is going to probably abuse poor Derek Fisher in this one, and the Boston point guard should be in for a huge game in virtually every aspect. This 3-9 SU record on the road for LA just isn’t going to get any better in this one, especially since the Celtics have been playing a heck of a lot better ball over the course of the last few weeks than they were at the outset of the season when they just looked old and decrepit.

NBA Pick: Boston -3.5

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Sacramento Kings
Date: Thursday, February 9th, 10:30 ET
Location: Power Balance Pavilion, Sacramento, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Oklahoma City -6.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

Any time that a team like Sacramento ends up on TNT or one of the other nationally televised networks, you know that it is going to bring its ‘A Game’. Matters will only be heightened in this one, knowing that arguably the best team in the NBA is coming to town. We still just don’t like the fact that the Thunder are playing so many games in so many different cities with such a short turnaround time, and at some point, it is going to catch up to them. Going against a team that has covered six in a row isn’t going to help matters. At least look for the Kings to put up a fight on Thursday night.

NBA Pick: Sacramento +6.5

On Wednesday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Wednesday!

NBA Matchup: New York Knicks @ Washington Wizards
Date: Wednesday, February 8th, 8:00 ET
Location: Verizon Center, Washington DC
NBA Betting Odds: Washington -1
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

Are we reading this right that the Wizards are actually favored in this one? And why not? The Knicks are going to certainly be without Carmelo Anthony, and they probably won’t have Amare Stoudemire either. Jeremy Lin, the newest flavor of the month at point guard isn’t going to score in the 20s every single night either. The Wizards have been playing better basketball of late, and if they can get Rashard Lewis back in the lineup for this one, they really should be able to win this one against a depleted squad.

NBA Pick: Washington -1

NBA Matchup: Houston Rockets @ Portland Trail Blazers
Date: Wednesday, February 8th, 10:30 ET
Location: Rose Garden, Portland, OR
NBA Betting Odds: Portland -7
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

We backed the Blazers two nights ago versus Oklahoma City only to fall just short in overtime. This time, we are going to go against them even though they are clearly one of the best home teams in the league. Houston has almost quietly amassed the exact same record as teams like the Lakers and the Jazz, and unlike those teams, this is a squad that hardly anyone is talking about. We think that we are getting some nice value here with the underdogs, and though the Rockets are probably going to ultimately end up getting beaten, we do think that they are going to show themselves well and stick within a handful of points.

NBA Pick: Houston +7

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Tuesday, 2/7/12.

NBA Matchup: Utah Jazz @ Indiana Pacers
Date: Tuesday, February 7th, 7:00 ET
Location: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN
NBA Betting Odds: Indiana -9
NBA TV Schedule: FOX Sports, NBA TV

The Pacers are doing their job right now, and they are proving to be one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. They have played a ton of road games this year as well, and they are only playing their 9th home game of the season. Take out two losses to the Magic, and Indiana is 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS at home this year. Utah was crushed last night by the Knicks on the road, and this is going to be a very tough second game of a back to back for it. The Jazz are also just 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games overall.

NBA Pick: Indiana -9

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors
Date: Tuesday, February 7th, 10:30 ET
Location: Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Oklahoma City -2.5
NBA TV Schedule: FOX Sports, NBA TV

The Thunder are looking for their 20th win of the season, but we are very worried about how this one might play out for them. Just last night, they had to play an OT game at the Portland Trail Blazers, and this is the third road game in just four days that they have to endure. Golden State won the first meeting of these teams this year 120-109, and it was clear that the Thunder just didn’t have the goods to stop the Warriors’ offense. Steph Curry should be just fine to play in this on, and if that’s the case, we tend to think that the Warriors are going to get the job done once again and put down OKC for the second time in a matter of just a couple of weeks.

NBA Pick: Golden State +2.5

On Monday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Monday!

NBA Matchup: Utah Jazz @ New York Knicks
Date: Monday, February 6th, 8:00 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
NBA Betting Odds: New York -4
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The Jazz have proven quite a bit over the last couple of years that they can win games on the road that few give them a fighting chance in. Just ask the Miami Heat how they have liked running into Utah over the last two years! The Knicks have covered four in a row, but they only have two SU wins in that stretch, one of which came against the lowly Nets two days ago. The Jazz are the better team, and though New York has more talent, especially in the starting five, we just don’t see the consistency there with the boys from the Big Apple to want to back them on a regular basis, especially laying points against another fantastic team.

NBA Pick: Utah +4

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Portland Trail Blazers
Date: Monday, February 6th, 10:30 ET
Location: Rose Garden, Portland, OR
NBA Betting Odds: Oklahoma City -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The second half of the NBA TV double dip on Monday night pits one of the best teams in the league in the Thunder on the road against the team with the best home marks in the game. The Blazers are the real deal here at the Rose Garden, as they are a remarkable 11-1 SU and 10-1-1 ATS thus far when donning the home jerseys. Oklahoma City is as good as it gets in the league, but what we have seen of late of it on the road is at least a tad bit of struggling against the best teams in the league. If the Clippers and Spurs can take down the Thunder, so can the Blazers. There is just no justification for the hosts being underdogs in this one.

NBA Pick: Portland +1.5

On Thursday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Thursday!

NBA Matchup: Chicago Bulls @ New York Knicks
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 8:00 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
NBA Betting Odds: Off
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

We don’t quite have a line yet to work with in this one, but what we do have is a lot of knowledge about both of these teams. This is a brutal matchup for the Bulls, as they don’t normally run into teams that have the manpower to be able to body with them. Luol Deng might still be out of the fold, which really leaves just Joakim Noah to go up against Tyson Chandler and Carlos Boozer to match up with Amare Stoudemire. The problem comes when Carmelo Anthony starts bringing down boards as well. We know that New York is just 2-12 ATS in its last 14 home games, but we also know that this Chicago team was beaten by a Philly team last night that probably isn’t as good as the Knicks (in spite of what the records say for the two teams). Back the hosts at MSG, knowing that you are probably going to be catching points from the oddsmakers.

NBA Pick: New York Knicks

NBA Matchup: Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Clippers
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 10:30 ET
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Los Angeles -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

Two nights ago, we backed the Nuggets and ended up with some egg in our face with an overtime loss to the Grizzlies. In fairness, it was a game that Denver probably should have won, and on most nights, it probably does finish Memphis off on the road. Now, the team has to come to Staples Center on a two-game skid, the first of those two losses which came against these Clippers. The Clip Joint is coming off of a tremendously emotional win against the Jazz on the road, which was the first time that they won in Utah in nine tries. We tend to think that those emotions are going to get the most of LA in this one, as the team is going to come back home exhausted and not ready for the payback that the Nuggets are going to try to hand out. Take Denver and the points.

NBA Pick: Denver +1.5

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Wednesday, 2/1/12.

NBA Matchup: Washington Wizards @ Orlando Magic
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 7:00 ET
Location: Amway Center, Orlando, FL
NBA Betting Odds: Orlando -9.5
NBA TV Schedule: Comcast Sports, Sun Sports

Oh oddsmakers, when will you learn… Sure, we know that the Wizards are as bad as could be, but in the end, the Magic are an overrated train wreck. Dwight Howard wants out of town, Jameer Nelson is still concussed, Jason Richardson is a million years old, and the team in general is just a nightmare. Orlando has nothing going offensively, and once Howard gets into foul trouble, the team just looks lost trying to accomplish much of anything. Washington isn’t a great team, but all that it likely has to do in this one to stay inside the number is score about 75 points or so, because we just don’t see the Magic approaching 90 in this one, or all that often in the near future either.

NBA Pick: Washington +9.5

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Dallas Mavericks
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 8:00 ET
Location: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
NBA Betting Odds: Dallas -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: ESPN

The rematch of the Western Conference Finals from last year should once again be thrilling. The Mavs are back on track, but the Thunder are legit. They are coming off of a bad loss in Tinseltown, but whereas LA was the team that had to do some proving two nights ago, OKC is the team that has revenge on its mind right now. Don’t be shocked if the Thunder come into Big D and put a real hurt on the Mavericks.

NBA Pick: Oklahoma City +1.5

On Tuesday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Tuesday!

NBA Matchup: Sacramento Kings @ Golden State Warriors
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 10:35 ET
Location: Oracle Arena, San Francisco, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Golden State -7.5
NBA TV Schedule: Comcast Sports

When we look at the Kings and the Warriors, we largely see the same two teams on the court. We see teams that don’t really play all that much defense and do a lot of running. The Kings have been dreadful on the road this year at just 2-10 SU, but we do see some hope for this one. Maybe we won’t quite get the upset, but just sticking within a half dozen or so is good enough for us.

NBA Pick: Sacramento +7.5

NBA Matchup: Denver Nuggets @ Memphis Grizzlies
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 8:00 ET
Location: FedEx Forum, Memphis, TN
NBA Betting Odds: Denver -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: Altitude, NBA TV

This Denver team is one that we love to back this year, especially when playing against these teams that are playing back to backs. The Grizz are on a back to back tonight, and they are coming off of a brutal loss to the Spurs last night. The Nuggets had a day off yesterday, and especially if they end up getting back Ty Lawson tonight, all the better. Denver is going to get the job done on the road once again, building up this ridiculous 22-5 ATS streak on the road.

NBA Pick: Denver -1.5

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Monday, 1/30/12.

NBA Matchup: Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards
Date: Monday, January 30th, 8:00 ET
Location: Verizon Center, Washington DC
NBA Betting Odds: Chicago -9
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The Bulls absolutely blasted the Wizards when these two teams met in their first go around, but there are definitely some major differences between those teams then and now. It is true that Washington has turned a corner and picked up some more offense without Flip Saunders calling the shots. However, in the end, this is still a team that isn’t all that talented. Chicago might be without Richard Hamilton and/or Luol Deng on Monday, but it won’t matter due to the fact that Derrick Rose will be back. Rose sat out of the first clash of these teams. He’ll make the difference on Monday night, as the Bulls come up with a double digit victory.

NBA Pick: Chicago -9

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Clippers
Date: Monday, January 30th, 10:30 ET
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Oklahoma City -2.5
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The Clippers have played two great games in a row since losing to the Lakers here at Staples Center, and this is a great chance for them to get the job done against arguably the best team in the league. Perhaps in a different scheduling spot, we would think that Oklahoma City would be the pick against this short spread. However, this is the middle of an absolutely brutal stretch for the Thunder. They are hot right now, having lost just once in the last 10 games, but they are due for a bad one. Kevin Durant isn’t going to score 20+ in every single game, and Russell Westbrook isn’t going to be at his best every night either. We can’t say that this is the game that all of that will happen, but we do think that Lob City will get the job done on the national scene once again.

NBA Pick: Los Angeles +2.5

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Thursday, 1/26/12.

NBA Matchup: Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
Date: Thursday, January 26th, 8:00 ET
Location: Amway Center, Orlando, FL
NBA Betting Odds: Orlando -8.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

The Magic were absolutely obliterated by the Celtics just three nights ago in Beantown. It was one of the worst games that they ever played in the history of the franchise, and it did set franchise lows for points in a game (56) and field goals made in a game (16). Shooting below 30.0 percent from the field just didn’t cut it, and the fact of the matter is that the only man that had any offense going whatsoever was Dwight Howard. Now, the two are back at it, and the assumption is being made the Boston is just going to get toasted by a Magic squad out for revenge. We’re really not all that sure. Though we don’t think much of the Celtics this year, we certainly don’t think all that much of Orlando either, and it seems like this is a heck of a lot of points to be laying in a series that has surprisingly given the edge to the road team more often than not.

NBA Pick: Boston +8.5

NBA Matchup: Memphis Grizzlies @ Los Angeles Clippers
Date: Thursday, January 26th, 10:30 ET
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Los Angeles -3.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

The Grizzlies have watched their winning streak go by the boards, and now, they are going to try to put forth a lot better effort playing at Lob City than they did at the Rose Garden against Portland two nights ago. The Clip Joint is coming off of a brutal loss “on the road” in this building against the Lakers in which Chris Paul looked horrible in his return to the lineup. There is a real question as to whether he is healthy or not. What we saw out of the Clips last night though, was a lot of spunk, and we think that that spunk is going to show yet again in what should amount to be a win by at least a half dozen on Thursday night.

NBA Pick: Los Angeles -3.5
