Bucks at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jazz 120, Warriors 110

Money line (ML

PASS on the money line here as the Jazz are overwhelming road favorites over the Warriors. At -275, it’s just too much risk, especially against Steph Curry at home.

Utah is likely to win this game as they currently hold the best record in the NBA. But Golden State is 12-6 at home this season and they have the potential to outshoot any team in the league.

Look to the point spread instead as it presents much better value on the Jazz.

Against the spread (ATS)

JAZZ 6.5 (-110) is our pick here despite them going 1-4 ATS in their last five games. They won their first game since the All-Star break, defeating the Rockets by 15 points on Friday night.

The Jazz have now won five straight games against the Warriors and have covered in nine of their last 11 games when these two teams meet, according to Oddsshark.com.

Utah is 11-8 ATS on the road this season and expect them to add another win to their already impressive resume on Sunday.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 229.5 (-115) is our lean here as both teams are among the better offenses in the NBA. Utah currently has the No. 3 scoring offense in the NBA, averaging 116.5 points per game.

Golden State scores my points at home compared to the road and is averaging nearly 117 points per game at Chase Center this season. If both teams can come close to their averages, this game should hit with relative ease.

Look for a ton of scoring in this contest as this should be a fast-paced game at the Chase Center.

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Golden State Warriors (19-18) and Los Angeles Clippers (24-14) tip-off the second half of their seasons Thursday at the Staples Center. The game is scheduled for a 10 p.m. ET start. Below, we analyze the Warriors-Clippers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Golden State dropped three straight (0-3 ATS) before the All-Star break, all against winning Western Conference teams, however.

The Clippers also wrapped up their first half of the season with a 3-game losing skid and lost four of their previous five games (1-4 ATS).

These teams split a back-to-back earlier this season from Jan. 6-8 with the Warriors winning the last meeting.

The Warriors’ victory snapped a 4-game losing streak to the Clippers, which started when LA acquired Kawhi Leonard and Paul George last offseason.

Warriors at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 116, Warriors 105

Money line (ML)

PASS because even though I expect Los Angeles to win comfortably, I’ll almost never bet an NBA regular-season money line favorite at -160 or greater.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Clippers play much better against good defenses (the Warriors are 6th in defensive rating) than Golden State does against top-10 offenses (LA is 3rd in offensive rating).

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Warriors are 4-10 overall with the 28th-ranked net efficiency and is 26th in spread differential (minus-4.3 points) vs. top-10 offenses this season.

Whereas LA is 10-5 overall and 9th in net efficiency vs. top-10 defenses and the Warriors are 4-8 ATS as a road underdog with a minus-5.4-point ATS margin.

BET CLIPPERS -7.5 (-105) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Wait for the final injury report before betting this game to see the statuses of Oubre and Draymond because Golden State matches up really well defensively against LA if those guys are in the lineup.

The Clippers take the 6th-highest rate of mid-range shots and the Warriors have the 2nd-best defensive mid-range shooting percentage (according to CleaningTheGlass.com).

Furthermore, LA plays at the 4th-slowest pace in the Association, which is an optimal tempo for the Clippers since Golden State has the 2nd-fastest pace and will need to connect on transition threes to steal or cover this game.

TAKE the UNDER 231.5 (-110) for 1 unit.
