San Antonio Spurs at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (14-44) make the 6th stop on a 9-game road trip against the Charlotte Hornets (16-43) Wednesday. Tip-off from Spectrum Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Hornets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs are 0-for-5 on the road trip so far, although San Antonio covered as a 16-point underdog in a 117-109 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, halting an 11-game non-cover streak.

San Antonio has lost 13 straight games dating back to Jan. 17 at home against the Brooklyn Nets, and it has dropped 15 straight games on the road since topping the Houston Rockets back on Dec. 19.

The Hornets slapped the brakes on a 7-game skid Monday by topping the visiting Atlanta Hawks 144-138 score as 5-point underdogs. The cover also snapped an 0-6 skid against the spread.

Charlotte belted San Antonio 129-102 back on Oct. 19 as a 1-point favorite to open the regular season with a road win and Over (221) result.

Spurs at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 119, Spurs 115

Moneyline

The Hornets (-240) will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit expensive for a team that is 27 games under .500, even if they topped the Spurs earlier in the season.

AVOID.

Against the spread

SPURS +6.5 (-115) is the play on the road catching more than 3 buckets.

It’s a difficult play as both of these teams are actually stinky against the number lately. The Hornets are just 1-6 ATS in the past 7 games overall, while the Spurs are 3-13 ATS in the past 16 games overall and 1-7 ATS in the past 8 games on the road.

However, hold your nose and take the ‘dog between these two bad teams.

Over/Under

UNDER 239.5 (-105) is the lean based on the trends for the Hornets.

The Under is 6-2 in their past 8 games overall while going 20-9-1 in the past 30 games at home. The Under is also 5-2 in the past 7 games after a straight-up win, too.

The Over is the trend for the Spurs in most areas. However, the Under is 5-3 in the previous 8 games overall.

San Antonio Spurs at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Antonio Spurs at Detroit Pistons odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (14-41) battle the Detroit Pistons (14-42) Friday. Tip from Little Caesars Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Pistons odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

This will be the second and final matchup of the seasons between these franchises. The Spurs won the first game 121-109 on Jan. 6, covering as 1.5-point home favorites as the Under (236) hit.

The Spurs have struggled recently, losing 10 games in a row and 15 of their last 16. They have failed to cover 9 straight outings and are coming off a 112-98 loss to the Toronto Raptors, closing as a 10.5-point road underdog. San Antonio is 23-32 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Pistons are coming off a 113-85 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, closing as 9-point road underdogs. They are 2-3 ATS over their last 5 contests and 3-7 ATS over their last 10, slipping to 23-30-3 ATS on the season.

Spurs at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 118, Spurs 112

Moneyline

AVOID.

Backing the Pistons at (-155) isn’t worth the extra juice when they should win by margin, especially considering how poorly the Spurs have played lately.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS -3.5 (-110).

San Antonio is the 4th-worst ATS team on the road this season, posting just a 9-16 ATS record. It is also a league-worst 15-25 ATS following a loss.

The Pistons are 18-20-3 ATS following a loss and 10-16-1 ATS at home. They also rank 19th in 3-point field goal percentage (35.6%) while the Spurs rank dead last in opponents’ 3-point field goal percentage (40%).

Considering the situation trends and that strength-on-weakness matchup, back the PISTONS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-112).

The Pistons have gone Under in 6 straight games, and they have failed to score more than 100 points in 3 in a row. The Spurs have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 and have gone under 106 in 3 of those 5.

Despite a high tempo and poor defense, neither team has thrived offensively lately, and given Detroit lost a key scorer in F Saddiq Bey to a pending trade, assuming either offense will come to life is a long shot.

Back the UNDER 235.5 (-112).

San Antonio Spurs at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (14-40) and Toronto Raptors (25-30) meet Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Raptors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs failed to cover the spread Monday as 9.5-point underdogs in a 128-104 loss at the Chicago Bulls. F Keldon Johnson finished with a team-high 21 points for the Spurs, who were outscored 38-19 in the 4th quarter. San Antonio has lost 9 straight games.

The Raptors covered as 1.5-point underdogs Sunday in a 106-103 win at the Memphis Grizzlies. Seven Raptors players scored in double-digits as Toronto came back from a 15-point 2nd-half deficit. The Raptors are 0-6 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 home games after a road trip of 7 or more days.

This is the 2nd meeting this season between the Spurs and Raptors. In the Nov. 2 meeting, Toronto covered as 6.5-point road favorites with a 143-100 win.

Spurs at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 120, Raptors 119

Moneyline

Sprinkle on SPURS (+410).

San Antonio has lost 9 straight, but the Raptors are also in a bad spot. For the 1st time in franchise history, Toronto won a majority of its games on a road trip of 7 or more days and returns home to face a lot of speculation surrounding the trade deadline. The Raptors struggled for 3 quarters at Memphis and were somewhat lucky that the Grizzlies fell apart late. A Spurs win isn’t probable, but it is more likely than the line suggests.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +10.5 (-108).

The Raptors are laying too many points for a team that has consistently performed below expectation when returning from long road trips. In addition, Toronto may lack focus Wednesday playing a team that it beat by 43 points in the last meeting.

San Antonio showed signs of life at Chicago and even held a 4-point lead late in the 3rd quarter before collapsing. Look for the Spurs to come out extra motivated to end their losing streak and for former Raptors C Jakob Poeltl to have a big game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-108).

The Over is 10-2 in Toronto’s last 12 games after covering in its previous contest and 5-1 in the Raptors’ last 6 home games vs. teams with a road winning percentage under .400. The Over has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings and Wednesday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase.

San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Antonio Spurs (14-39) and Chicago Bulls (25-27) meet Monday at United Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Bulls odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs failed to cover the spread as 10.5-point home underdogs Friday in a 137-125 loss vs. the Philadelphia 76ers. Rookie G Malaki Branham scored a season-high 26 points as San Antonio lost its 8th-straight game. The Spurs are 0-7 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games.

The Bulls covered as 3-point home favorites Saturday with a 129-121 win vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. G Zach LaVine scored a team-high 36 points for the Bulls, who have won 3 of their last 4 games. The Bulls are 6-2 ATS vs. the Spurs in the last 8 meetings in Chicago.

This is their 2nd meeting this season. In the Oct. 28 meeting, the Spurs covered as 4.5-point home underdogs in a 129-124 win.

Spurs at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 125, Spurs 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bulls (-450) should win, but there is no need to risk almost 5 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Chicago should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -9.5 (-115).

DeMar DeRozan will be extra motivated to help the Bulls run up the score vs. his former team after losing straight up as a road favorite in the 1st meeting.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 239.5 (-112).

The Under is 4-0 in Chicago’s last 4 games after scoring more than 125 points in its previous contest and 6-1 in the Bulls’ last 7 after allowing 100 or more. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 8 meetings in Chicago, and San Antonio should struggle to put up points as it deals with injuries to almost all of its starters.

Kings at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 128, Spurs 119

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Kings should win this game, but on the road and with a (-290) value, this is an easy pass.

Against the spread

LEAN KINGS -7.5 (-115).

While the Spurs are 14-12 ATS at home, the Kings are the league’s 3rd-best road-covering team, posting a 14-8 ATS record this season. The Kings have size in the paint and also defensive-minded forwards capable of limiting F Keldon Johnson, the Spurs’ top scorer.

Sacramento has covered 2 of its last 4 which is more than San Antonio can say. The Spurs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 and have lost 3 straight games, 2 at home to teams worse than Sacramento, by double figures. Back the KINGS -7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 244.5 (-105).

The Spurs and Kings rank 9th and 8th in the NBA in pace respectively. Couple that with Spurs, who rank last in opponents’ points per game (122.3), opponents’ FG percentage (51%) and opponents’ 3-point FG percentage (40.3%), and it is easy to see why they are 31-19 O/U on the season.

The Kings average the most points per game (119.5) as well. The Kings’ efficient offense against the league’s worst defense should produce points, and subsequently, the Over to hit. Back the OVER 244.5 (-105).

Washington Wizards at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Washington Wizards at San Antonio Spurs odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Wizards (23-26) play the 4th game of a 5-game road trip when they face the San Antonio Spurs (14-36) Monday. Tip-off from AT&T Center is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wizards vs. Spurs odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Wizards enter on a 5-game win and cover streak as they search for a season-high 6th consecutive victory. Washington has a 7-2 straight-up (SU) and against-the-spread (ATS) record across its last 9 road contests.

The Spurs are on a 5-game slide and have failed to cover the past 4 outings. San Antonio is a respectable 2-1 SU in the past 3 games against Eastern Conference teams while covering the spread in 4 straight against the East.

The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for San Antonio, while going 21-4 across the past 25 games overall.

This is the first of 2 meetings between these teams this season.

Wizards at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 121, Spurs 111

Moneyline

The Wizards (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little too expensive, even if they’re running red hot and the Spurs are ice cold.

PASS.

Against the spread

The WIZARDS -5.5 (-105) are a strong play, winning and cashing in 5 in a row while going a respectable 13-6 ATS in the past 19 games overall. The Wizards are also 4-0 ATS in the past 4 games on the road and 6-1 ATS in the past 7 outings against teams with a losing overall mark.

The Spurs are a solid 7-3 ATS in the past 10 at home, but they’re 0-4 ATS in the past 4 games overall, 4-12 ATS in the past 16 games against losing teams and 1-4 ATS in the past 5 working on a single day of rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 234.5 (-105) is a decent play, as this is a very high number.

It’s been all about the Over for the Spurs lately, but the Wizards have cashed the Under in 10 of the past 13 games on the road and are 6-1-1 to the Under in the past 8 games when working on a day of rest.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Spurs at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 122, Spurs 106

Moneyline

The Clippers (-900) will cost you 9 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet favorites so heavily, especially in a standalone bet.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The CLIPPERS -12.5 (-105) is the lean, but go lightly. There is some concern with Morris, who is nursing an injury to his ribs. He is averaging 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and he is 4th on the team in scoring.

The Spurs have cashed in just 6 of the past 19 road games, and they’re 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings when playing on no rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-105) is the play, especially based on the series trends.

The Under is 6-1 in the past 7 in this series, while hitting in 5 of the past 6 meetings in Los Angeles.

While the trends are mostly Over for the Spurs lately, the Under is a whopping 23-5 in the past 28 home games for the Clippers, while cashing at a 5-1 clip in the past 6 against losing teams.

Spurs at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 130, Spurs 119

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers (-250) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Los Angeles should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -6.5 (-112).

Stars returning from injury can sometimes disrupt team chemistry, but Davis is familiar enough with the Lakers that the 8-time All-Star should instantly make Los Angeles better. The league saw a similar situation last Wednesday when G Bradley Beal returned to Washington and the Wizards guard has since led his team to 3 straight wins and covers. Los Angeles is 3-0 ATS vs. the Spurs this season and the addition of Davis should help the Lakers cover for a 4th consecutive meeting. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 243.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-0-1 in San Antonio’s last 9 road games vs. teams with a winning record at home and 7-1 in Los Angeles’ last 8 games following a loss by more than 10 points in their previous contest. These teams play high-scoring games vs. each other in Los Angeles as the Over is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings and Wednesday’s matchup should be another high-scoring affair.

Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 124, Spurs 118

Moneyline

PASS.

The Blazers (-340), on the second night of a back-to-back after a tough loss, aren’t worth a wager. Similarly, the Spurs (+310) have no value given their road record.

Against the spread

LEAN SPURS +7.5 (-102).

The Blazers showed in blowing a lead on Sunday that they cannot be trusted. They have failed to cover their last 3 games and are 3-7 ATS over their last 10. Portland is also 11-13 ATS after a loss.

The Spurs have covered 2 outings in a row and are 4-1 ATS over their last 5 games as an underdog of 7.5 or more points. San Antonio should be able to keep this one close as it has done consistently in the last few weeks. Back the SPURS +7.5 (-102).

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-105).

The Spurs play awful defense and play at a high-tempo pace. They rank 8th in the NBA in pace and sit last in opponents’ field goal percentage and opponents’ 3-point field goal percentage.

The Blazers rank 23rd in the NBA in pace but are led in scoring by two guards and should be willing to keep up. San Antonio has gone Over in 5 of its last 6 and has allowed 130 or more points in 4 of its last 5. While 19-26-1 O/U on the season, Portland has gone Over in 3 of its last 6.

Ultimately, back the OVER 241.5 (-105).

Nets at Spurs key injuries

Nets

  • F Kevin Durant (knee) out

Spurs

  • Doug McDermott (back) questionable
  • F Devin Vassell (knee) out

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Nets at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 117, Spurs 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Spurs should have a shot here as the Nets have lost 2 in a row, both at home. Nonetheless, the points are the better play here.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +6.5 (-115).

The Nets have struggled to cover as of late. They have failed to cover 3 straight games, 2 of which they were favorites in. Brooklyn has been without Durant for its last 2 games, losing 109-98 at home against the Boston Celtics and 112-102 at home against Oklahoma City.

The size and speed of F Keldon Johnson could cause trouble for the Nets with Durant sidelined. The Spurs have covered 5 of their last 7 and are 12-10 ATS at home as well.

Considering the Nets’ struggles, back SPURS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 234.5 (-108).

The Nets without Durant haven’t been the same beast offensively. Brooklyn has gone Under in 5 straight games and averaged 100 points per game over its last 2 (without KD).

The Spurs have gone Over in 5 straight games but it has been their opponents’ dominance that has forced most of those results. San Antonio has averaged 116 points per game in its last 2 games but has allowed 138 per game. The Nets won’t have that same pace that the Kings or Warriors (the Spurs’ last two opponents) play with.

Back the UNDER 234.5 (-108).
