NBA - 23rd February Picks

[Rick121212]

Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs - Under 205.5 points @ 1.935 (Pinnacle) The Thunder are generally an Over team, with a 32-22 O/U record but come up against the number one team in the NBA who are very strong defensively. San Antonio's home O/U record reads 10-17 and with the Thunder struggling to get above 100 points against the Warriors and the Kings in their last two road games, with massively weaker defenses than the Spurs, then I reckon they'll struggle again here. The last game between these two ended 101-74 in San Antonio's favour, and although I expect it to be closer than that, the Under is the play here.

Re: NBA - 23rd February Picks Memphis Grizzlies at Minnesota Timberwolves - Under 204.5 points @ 1.909 (Pinnacle) 3 weeks ago the same match-up was played and Memphis got the road win 102-84, almost 20 points under this total. Memphis have had two big scores in their last two road games (Denver and Oklahoma) both going Over, but they are notorious for being high-scoring home sides. Their O/U record on the road is 12-19. Minnesota have struggled to get above 90 points in their last 4 games, three of which were at home, and only managed a meager 88 against Milwaukee last night. Add in the tiredness these two teams should have after both playing last night and this should stay Under quite a big total.
