NBA Picks January 10th
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Boston Celtics
Tipoff – 7:00 pm EST
Spread: Celtics -6
Total: 223.5
The Minnesota Timberwolves just got done beating the Orlando Magic on their home floor by 21 points, so this will be a back-to-back for them. However, going 12-8 on the road thus far makes them one of the top road teams in the league this season. Plus, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are both banged up and questionable for tomorrow’s game for the Celtics. The Wolves cover for us on Wednesday. The total is a little low, but no play on it.
Best Bet: Timberwolves +6 (-110)
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami Heat
Tipoff – 7:30 pm EST
Spread: Thunder -4
Total: 234.5
Speaking of great road teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder are tied for tops in the league with a 10-6 record away from home. On Wednesday they travel to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat, sans Jimmy Butler. The Thunder didn’t cover for me against Washington on Monday (they still got the win, though), but I think they handle their business in Miami tomorrow night. Once again, no play on the total.
Best Bet: Thunder -4 (-110)
