Player matchups - Suns vs. Spurs
09:30 PM EST
A Stoudemire Total Pts+Rebs -2½ -115
T Duncan Total Pts+Rebs +2½ -125
Analysis: Stoudemire put up 33 points and 7 rebounds while fouling out in regulation and Duncan went for 40 points and 15 rebounds playing in both OT’s. I’m think Duncan is due for another big performance and will cover this wager as the underdog here.
NBA Free Picks: Duncan +2½ Total Points +Rebounds
09:30 PM EST
L Barbosa Total Pts+Assists Over
L Barbosa Total Pts+Assists Under
Over 16½ -120
Under 16½ -120
Analysis: Barbosa got 12 points and 2 rebounds in Game 1 and will definitely surpass those totals in Game 2. Take the ‘Brazilian Blur’ to cover the spread here.
NBA Free Picks: Barbosa ‘Over’ 16½ Total Points+Assists
09:30 EST
R Bell Total Points -1½ -105
M Finley Total Points +1½ -135
Analysis: Though it seems like Michael Finley had a huge game because of his game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation, it was Bell who scored more points than Finley, (14 to 13). This is a tough pick, but I say take Finley to cover as the underdog as it took Bell 54 minutes to get those 14 points.
NBA Free Picks: Michael Finley +1½ Points
09:30 PM EST
B Diaw Total Points -3½ -115
B Bowen Total Points +3½ -125
Analysis: This pick is an absolute ‘gimme.’ Take Diaw who scored 12 points in Game 1 to cover this spread easily against Bowen, who went scoreless while shooting 0-for-2 from the field.
NBA Free Picks: Boris Diaw -3½ Points
09:30 PM EST
S ONeal Total Pts+Rebs Over
S ONeal Total Pts+Rebs Under
Over 23½ -120
Under 23½ -120
Analysis: Wow! The oddsmakers really did their homework with this selection. I keep telling people O’Neal, who scored 11 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in Game 1, is good for about 12 points and 10 rebounds per game these days and now it’s time to back upmy wors. Take the Under for the aging newly-renamed, ‘Big Cactus.’
NBA Free Picks: O’Neal Under 23½ Total Points +Rebounds
09:30 PM EST
M Ginobili Total Points Over
M Ginobili Total Points Under
Over 19½ -120
Under 19½ -120
Analysis: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Manu Ginobili is the most ‘unguardable’ player in the entire NBA.
While someone’s probably think, ‘duh, how about Kobe Bryant, you idiot?’ What I mean is, there is not another player on the planet like Ginobili, whose, seemingly, out of control, herky-jerky, yet surprisingly smooth, style of play – and more specifically – drives to the rim – result in – again – seemingly unmakeable baskets. Take the ‘Over’ BetUS NBA Betting Community, there’s not a player in the world who can guard Manu Ginobili.
NBA Free Picks: Ginobili Over 19½ Total Points
