Best NBA Picks Against the Spread 12/25

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Today’s article will be shorter than usual due to holiday time constraints on my schedule. I do, however, want to make sure you guys get some informed NBA picks!

New Orleans Pelicans at Miami Heat

If you were on this line yesterday. It started at Pelicans +5.0. Since then, the public and smart money have bet this line down to Pelicans +3.5.

I was fortunate enough to get in before the drop at Pelicans +5.0. This is play I recommend. Pelicans +3.5 still has value due to match up capability and more talent on the Pelicans roster.

The Pelicans upset game 1 and are underdogs once again. Two small bets on the Pelicans +3.5 and the plus money line are the play.

Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics

This will be a close game. Especially, since the Celtics just took down the Bucks without Kemba Walker.

The tandem of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant became what everyone in the East feared. A dangerous duo out of the gate.

The play here is Nets -2.5. I do not believe the Celtics will take down two of the top teams in the East back-to-back.

Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

Both took the L in the season opener against two other top tier teams in close games.

The Lakers will want to come out hot and show dominance against a Dallas Mavericks team without their superstar power forward Kristaps Porzingis.

Without him, they simply cannot match up. Davis and Harrell will both have field days down low.

The play here is Lakers -6.0. Although, I do believe Doncic will have a great fantasy day trying to put the team on his back.

Pelicans +5.0

Nets -2.5

Lakers -6.0
