NBA - 14th March Picks

Boston Celtics at New Jersey Nets - Under 188 points @ 1.901 (Pinnacle) The Celtics kept the Bucks to only 57 points last night and only scored 88 themselves which kept the total way under. They face the Nets who Boston have beaten 15 of the last 16 times holding New Jersey to an average of 79.3 ppg. The Nets are the fourth slowest team, 28th in points average points scored per game, 26th in FG% per game, and 20th in 3 point shooting and face the 2nd stingiest defense in Boston who average giving up 91.6 ppg. Boston are good shooters but are a slow paced team also and I fancy this to be a low-scoring game with Boston winning probably but not neccessarily.

Re: NBA - 14th March Picks Denver Nuggets at New Orleans Hornets - Under 199.5 points @ 1.926 (Pinnacle) These two have already played each other twice this season, both netting under 200 points and with Anthony and Billups both playing in those games, I expect the Hornets to find it even easier to keep Denver under here. The Hornets have done well at handling the offensive teams with games against Dallas, New York, Toronto, Houston, Minnesota and LA Clippers all finishing comfortably under. The Hornets are the slowest paced team in the NBA and one of the strongest defensively and I think they can help keep this an Under game.
