Rissa’s Expert Picks (Feb 24th)
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.
Basketball continues to treat us right with this small streak we got. Let’s keep it going with some more NBA and NCAAB action tonight!
ATL @ PHI -8.5 (7pm EST)
O/U 228.5
The Philadelphia 76ers are so dominant at home this season boasting a 26-2 record. Tonight, the Atlanta Hawks come into town playing pretty good basketball and have a chance to continue that with the 76ers best defenders Ben Simmons out and Tobias Harris doubtful for this game. While the 76ers are great at home, on the betting side not so much with a 13-12 record ATS as home favorites. The Hawks are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Philly. I’m not sure if Atlanta can win the game but I think they’ll cover that big number.
My Pick: ATL +8.5
LOU @ FSU -2.5 (7pm EST)
O/U 141
Louisville enters this game 23-5 in 1st place in the ACC standings versus a FSU team looking to take that spot with a record of 23-4. FSU won the first match-up on January 4th by 13 points and that was on the road in Louisville. FSU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games while Louisville is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games. This should be a close game throughout. Florida State has won 21 straight home games and I see that trend continuing to 22 games tonight.
My Pick: FSU -2.5
ORL @ BKN -3.5 (7:30pm EST)
O/U 214
The Nets, despite losing Kyrie for the season, have a winning record without him. At this point in the season, every game is pivotal. The Orlando Magic are only 2 ½ games behind the Nets in the Eastern Conference, so this game is very important. The Brooklyn Nets are 5-0 ATS in their 5 games at home. Meanwhile, the Magic are 9-18 on the road and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as underdogs. Brooklyn comes out on top in this one.
My Pick: BKN -3.5
