When I’m traveling to different states, obviously I use different books in that state, but I like to have an offshore book so I can bet anywhere. That’s why I roll with BetUS — it’s more of a strategic move to have a book I can use anywhere and I don’t have to keep depositing.

NBA Picks & Analysis
We need to be very aware and careful today of blowouts, sitting players, playing bench minutes, and all that fun stuff as this NBA season winds down. I took all of that into account while thinking through these picks.
Charlotte Hornets vs. Indiana Pacers
Spread: Hornets +14.5 (-115) | Pacers -14.5 (-105)
Total: 223.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Hornets +625 | Pacers -1000
Time: 4:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Hornets are missing key players and I smell blowout potential here. Pacers should cover this big spread. I’m looking at a first half ML also. Be careful with player bets and good players in these blowout scenarios. I think this game has potential to get out of hand fast.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Pacers -14.5 (-105), 1st Half ML for Parlays, Pacers -17.5 (+140)
Over/Under Bet: Under 223.5 (-110)
Player Props: Miles Bridges - Over 20.5
New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Spread: Knicks +10.5 (-115) | Cavaliers -10.5 (-105)
Total: 230.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Knicks +370 | Cavaliers -510
Time: 4:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns is out due to left knee soreness. The Cavaliers, leading the Eastern Conference, have a strong home-court advantage.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: None. Cavs ML.
Over/Under Bet: Over 230.0 (-110)
Player Prop: Josh Hart - Over 8.5 Rebounds
Parlay: Evan Mobley - Over 16 Pts + Donovan Mitchell - Over 5 Asst + Josh Hart - Over 8.5 Rebs + Sam Merrill - Under 7.5 Points
Sacramento Kings vs. Washington Wizards
Spread: Kings -13.0 (-110) | Wizards +13.0 (-110)
Total: 231.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Kings -850 | Wizards +550
Time: 4:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Wizards are playing terrible defense and rolling with a lot of the younger guys for the majority of games. The Kings should take this game easily on the road and score a lot of points.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Kings -13.0 (-110) or Kings 1st Half ML
Over/Under Bet: Under 231.5 (-110)
Player Prop: Malik Monk - Over 19.5 Pts + Assts
Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics
Spread: Heat +11.0 (-115) | Celtics -11.0 (-105)
Total: 212.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Heat +390 | Celtics -550
Time: 4:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Celtics have Horford, Holiday, Porzingis, and Brown all questionable for the game. This spread feels a little big for me and I think Miami’s defense can keep it tight.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Heat +11.0 (-115)
Over/Under Bet: Under 212.0 (-110)
Player Props: Pritchard - Over pts (line is not out due to possible injuries), Derrick White - Over 25.5 PRA
Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets
Spread: Jazz +17.5 (-110) | Rockets -17.5 (-110)
Total: 227.0 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Jazz +1000 | Rockets -2200
Time: 5:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Jazz are missing several key players, including Lauri Markkanen (left knee soreness) and Jordan Clarkson. The Rockets, aiming to maintain their No. 2 seed in the West, are at full strength, and they’re young squad is gearing up for a playoff run.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Rockets -17.5 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Under 227.0 (-110)
Player Prop: Jalen Green - Over 3.5 Assists, Amen Thompson - Over 7.5 Rebs
Atlanta Hawks vs. Dallas Mavericks
Spread: Hawks +3.5 (-105) | Mavericks -3.5 (-115)
Total: 239.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Hawks +140 | Mavericks -165
Time: 5:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Hawks are coming off a win but usually don’t play great on the road. AD is rounding back into form, so I’m expecting him to look like himself this game. I think the Mavs play better D and they’re fighting hard to save face.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Mavericks -3.5 (-115)
Over/Under Bet: Over 239.5 (-110)
Player Prop: Anthony Davis - Over 22.5 Points
San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets
Spread: Spurs +9.0 (-110) | Nuggets -9.0 (-110)
Total: 230.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Spurs +295 | Nuggets -390
Time: 6:00 PM ET
Analysis: The Spurs are pretty much in tank mode but letting their young guys go wild out there. They lose by 40 and then sometimes compete in games. I don’t trust Denver after a 2OT loss at home in this one so I’m staying away.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Nuggets -9.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Under 230.5 (-110)
Player Props: No bets for this one. Don’t trust the game.
Detroit Pistons vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Spread: Pistons +13.0 (-110) | Thunder -13.0 (-110)
Total: 231.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Pistons +550 | Thunder -850
Time: 6:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Pistons' Cade Cunningham is doubtful due to a left calf contusion. The Thunder should cruise at home but I’d stay away from the spread just because the Pistons have been hot lately.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Thunder -13.0 (-110)
Over/Under Bet: Over 231.5 (-110)
Player Prop: Jalen Williams - Over 18.5 Points
New Orleans Pelicans vs. L.A. Clippers
Spread: Pelicans +17.5 (-115) | Clippers -17.5 (-105)
Total: 218.5 (O -110, U -110)
Moneyline: Pelicans +950 | Clippers -2000
Time: 7:30 PM ET
Analysis: The Pelicans are eliminated from playoff contention and may lack motivation and even players to play in the game. The Clippers are favored by a ton, but I’d stay away from this one.
Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Clippers -17.5 (-105)
Over/Under Bet: Under 218.5 (-110)
Player Props: Staying away.
