Free Basketball Picks No. 1

Knicks @ 76ers: How rare this time will be: Both teams will score over 100 but won’t get a ton of assists (the Knicks are the last dead). Webber and Curry haven’t wowed their teams like they were supposed to when they arrived. The Knicks have 3 HPs to take on the AI, but will any of them succeed? This will be a close game and the defensive-minded Knicks are not going to be successful in it. The offense prevails in this one, and we suggest you bet on the end. Predicted score: Philadelphia wins 107-105

Free Basketball Picks No. 2

Timberwolves @ Spurs: Troy Hudson is finally back and he’s playing great so far. He will likely outpace Jaric as he is a faster defender against Tony Parker. Duncan and Garnett are still in their original teams 8 years later, have the same jersey number and still maintain Hall of Fame stats. KG has more pressure to step up. The Spurs get a rare loss at home and we see the Timberwolves prevail. Predicted score: Minnesota wins 95-91

Free Basketball Picks No. 3

Jazz @ Mavericks: Normally, defensive presence and tough play are enough to win. But when Utah plays on the road with a team like Dallas, they have trouble keeping up. Utah can only win if it rebounds the Mavs. This game won’t even be close. Predicted score: Dallas win 101-85
