Rissa’s Expert Picks (Feb 21st)
An analysis of my favorite daily sports betting picks. It’ll be a mix of spreads, over/under, money line, and props bets varying from sport to sport.
We got a great NBA slate tonight and below I’ve featured my favorite picks of the night. Let’s get to it!
DAL @ ORL +4.5 (7pm EST)
O/U 220.5
The Dallas Mavericks are completely healthy which is dangerous for this Orlando Magic team, even at home. The Magic have dropped 10 of their last 14 games and are 10-17-1 ATS at home this season. On the other side, the Mavs have been 18-6-2 ATS on the road. I’m gonna keep this one short and simple, Mavs will cover.
My Pick: DAL -4.5
BOS @ MIN +7.5 (8pm EST)
O/U 226.5
Tonight, the Boston Celtics go on the road to take on a Minnesota Timberwolves team that has been on a terrible losing streak. They have lost 15 of their last 16, while the Celtics have won 11 of their last 13 games. This already struggling Wolves team will be without their star Karl-Anthony Towns. Even though Boston will be missing their All-Star Kemba Walker, they get back Jaylen Brown and have more than enough to beat Minnesota. The Timberwolves are 6-21-1 ATS in their last 28 home games. Celtics should cover.
My Pick: BOS -7.5
NO @ POR +5.5 (10:30pm EST)
O/U 238
Health is the name of this game. Portland will be without their All-Star Damian Lillard. While the Pelicans will be completely at full health and are looking to go on a run as they are 5 games back from playoffs seeding. The Pelicans have beaten the Trail Blazers in all 3 matchups at an average of 13.3 points per game. The last game the Pelicans won by 21 with a healthy Dame. I’m calling a season sweep tonight.
My Pick: NO -5.5
