NBA | Pelicans vs Nets
Play on: Pelicans +4 -109 at Pinnacle
10* FREE NBA PICK (Pelicans +4)
I'll take my chances here with New Orleans as a 4-point dog against the Nets. I'm just not a big Kyrie Irving fan. He's an outstanding talent, but I just don't think he's a good teammate. He's a ball-demanding, high-volume shooter that I think really destroys any kind of team chemistry. Sure he had a triple double in his last game against the Pistons, but he was 8 of 21 shooting and the Nets lost the game.
I know the Pelicans are coming in with a 1-5 record, but I've licked what I've seen from this New Orleans team without Zion. The schedule has been brutal. Their 5 losses are to the Raptors, Mavericks, Rockets, Warriors and Thunder. They were in all of those games.
I also like the rest edge for New Orleans. Pelicans are playing just their 3rd game in the last 7 days, while the Nets are playing their 3rd game in the last 4 days. Give me New Orleans!

NBA | Rockets vs Grizzlies
Play on: Grizzlies +7 -115 at Bovada
1* Free Play on Grizzlies +7 -115
Despite offseason changes, the Rockets (3-3) still don’t look like they have any interest in stopping opposing offenses. Tonight in Memphis, Houston will try to slow down the Grizzlies (1-4).
Through six games, the Rockets have allowed 123 points or more on four occasions. Houston hasn’t played much defense, and you don’t need to look any further than their win over the Wizards for proof. In one of the highest non-overtime games in NBA history, the Rockets won 159-158.
On average, the Rockets are scoring 121.3 points and allowing 127 points per game.
In addition to playing their fourth road game in a row tonight, Houston will be playing their second game in as many days. We’ll see if that wear is visible on the legs of James Harden, who scored 29 in Houston’s loss to Miami yesterday.
Memphis has the benefit of an extra day of rest coming into this evening’s contest. However, they’ve lost two straight to the Lakers and Suns.
On average, the Grizzlies are scoring 106.6 points and allowing 119.4 points per game.
Memphis’ lone win of the season came in overtime against the Nets. In that contest, Ja Morant led the Grizzlies to victory with 30 points and nine assists.

NBA | Bucks vs Wolves
Play on: UNDER 229½ -109
1* NBA - Free Pick on Bucks/Wolves under 229½ -109
The UNDER is definitely worth a look in Monday's NBA matchup between the Bucks and Timberwolves. I just don't see these two going off offensively, especially with Minnesota being without their best player in Karl Anthony Towns. Sure the T-Wolves scored 131 in the first game without Towns, but that was against a bad Wizards team.
The other big key here is the Bucks aren't going to be pushing the pace like we would typically see with them playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. This is also a bit of a flat spot for Milwaukee, coming off a big revenge game against the Raptors (Toronto knocked them out of the playoffs) and a big game on deck against Kawhi and the Clippers Wednesday.
It doesn't hurt to have an incredible system backing a low scoring game. UNDER is 37-13 (74%) since 1996 when you have a total of 200 or more with a road team off a win by 10 or more and opponent coming off a game where they scored 130 or more. Take the UNDER!

NBA | Blazers vs Warriors
Play on: Blazers -10½ -107 at Pinnacle
Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Portland Trail Blazers -10.5
The injuries are just laughable for the Warriors at this point. Not only did they lose Kevin Durant to free agency, they came into the season knowing they wouldn’t have Klay Thompson until at least the All-Star Break. And things have gotten a whole lot worse for them since.
The Warriors are off to a 1-5 start this season with four losses by 11 points or more. They lost Stephen Curry to a broken hand, they are without Draymond Green with a finger injury, and they are now expected to be without De’Angelo Russell due to an ankle injury. Not to mention, Kevon Looney remains out with a hamstring injury. This is now a D-League roster with the players the Warriors have to throw out there.
I’m not worried about the Blazers taking the Warriors lightly tonight. Portland is coming off a loss to Philadelphia by a single point and has lost two of its last three. They will be highly motivated for a win to avoid falling below .500 on the season after a 3-3 start against a very tough schedule. And they want some revenge after getting swept by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, so they won’t feel sorry for them at all.
Portland is 13-4 ATS as a road favorite over the last two seasons. The Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games. Portland is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games vs. a team with a losing record. The Warriors are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Golden State is 15-35-1 ATS in its last 51 home games. Bet the Blazers Monday.

NBA (535) HOUSTON ROCKETS VS (536) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Take: (535) HOUSTON ROCKETS
Reason: The Houston Rockets are off to a 3-3 start this season, but looking for their first spread win at 0-6 ATS. The Memphis Grizzlies are 1-4 S/U and 1-4 ATS, so both teams haven't been good for bettors, which means something has to give tonight. The Rockets have been scoring in bunches with an average of 121.3 ppg, but allowing 127.0 ppg. The Grizzlies are averaging just 106.6 ppg this season while allowing a hefty 119.4 ppg. The Rockets return home tonight after a 1-2 road trip that saw them score 159 points in regulation at Washington and still win by just one points, 159-158. The Grizzlies have lost two straight games by 9 at home to Phoenix, 105-114 and by 29 at the Lakers, 91-120. Houston the much better team. They score a lot and I feel that Memphis is going to have problems keeping up in this one. Take Houston as your free play tonight.
