Top NBA Picks and Predictions on Dec. 3rd
San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns Betting Analysis
Two of our featured handicappers, Alex and Doug, have both backed the Spurs as live road dogs in their free NBA expert picks tonight, and it’s not hard to figure out why. Although these teams will meet for the first time this season, San Antonio has won and covered in 3 of their last 4 meetings with Phoenix.
We should also point out that the Spurs are on a heater at the betting windows, having won and covered in 5 of their last 6 contests while the Suns have dropped 6 of their last 8 contests and are 3-5 against the number over that span.
But let’s add to that the Suns’ big man down low, Jusuf Nurkic, will remain sidelined with a thigh injury while Bradley Beal remains a game-time decision. That’s a lot of talent that will either not be in the Suns’ lineup or compromised if Beal does play.
And if that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite for this live road underdog, then what about the arrival of Jeremy Sochan back into the lineup tonight after a 13-game absence with a thumb injury? What’s not to like? Nothing. Bet the Spurs in your NBA picks on Tuesday night!
Pick: Spurs +7 (-110)
Houston Rockets vs. Sacramento Kings Betting Analysis
Here’s an example of the moon and stars aligning. All three of our expert NBA handicappers have locked on to the Houston Rockets in their NBA predictions today. There are 11 games on the board tonight, and when you factor in the possible 22 teams along with totals and all the other props like team totals and halftime sides, etc., how rare is it that our boys, Alex, Sean, and Doug, all land on one team?
Well, that’s what’s happening, as Houston is the consensus choice in our NBA picks against the spread today. And when you peel back the onion on this game, we can see that the Rockets have won and covered all 3 of their last meetings with the Suns. Let’s take it a step further and consider that Houston has won and covered their last 6 contests, including a 119-116 victory over the Thunder on Monday night as 1-point home dogs.
As for the Kings, they have not only lost 6 of their last 7 games but have been bleeding money from their backers, having failed to cover in 8 of their last 9 games! The entire team should be convicted of larceny!
The boys are all in agreement that the Rockets are the play, and so am I. Let’s hit the books hard with Houston as the small road pup here.
