NBA Picks January 31st
Sacramento Kings vs. Miami Heat
Tipoff – 7:30 pm EST
Spread: Kings -1
Total: 229.0
The Miami Heat are reeling, having lost seven straight games. It’s been two weeks since they’ve walked off an NBA court triumphant. They are also pretty mediocre at home, with a 12-11 record in the Kaseya Center. Things aren’t going to get any better for them on Wednesday, as the visiting Sacramento Kings have the seventh-best road record in the league, currently sitting at 13-10. I think the Kings -1 is a steal. No play on the total – it’s lined up in the right range in my eyes.
Best Bet: Kings -1 (-110)
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Houston Rockets
Tipoff – 8:00 pm EST
Spread: Pelicans -2.5
Total: 233.5
Speaking of struggling teams, I present to you the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pels have lost three straight games, four of five, and six of their last nine. They’re on the road on Wednesday against a pretty strong home team (17-8), the Houston Rockets. The Rockets haven’t been playing that well as of late, either, but they did crush the Los Angeles Lakers in their last game, for what that’s worth. Let’s take the home dog, the Rockets +2.5. Once again, no play on the total.
Best Bet: Rockets +2.5 (-110)
