NBA Free Picks - Saturday Doubleheader

Alright BetUS NBA Sportsbook bettors, another weekend is upon us and that means another entertaining weekend of NBA basketball wagering for NBA sports betting buffs.

As usual, my NBA weekend wagering doubleheader is designed to give BetUS NBA sports bettors the maximum opportunity to make a winning wager on two NBA contests.

Here then, is a brief look at each matchup, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Picks.

Boston Celtics at Charlotte Bobcats

Heading into Friday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics were 14-2 and riding a six-game winning streak in the BetUS Sportsbook.

The Celtics are averaging 98.6 points per game while holding their opponents to just 91.3 points per contest but had their five-game ATS win streak snapped in their win over Golden State on Wednesday.

The young Charlotte Bobcats have gotten off to a 4-10 start buts have played much better recently under Hall of Fame head coach Larry Brown.

Still the Bobcats are averaging a league-low 87.1 points per contest while allowing 91.5 points per game.

The Bobcats are an encouraging 8-6 ATS while Boston has gone 8-8 ATS through 16 games.

Analysis: The Celtics will win this matchup by anywhere between 12 and 18 points, depending on how bad they want to embarrass the Bobcats. Knowing head coach Doc Rivers and his love for the game, I suspect he’ll call off the dogs either late in the third quarter or early in the fourth as to not show up opposing head coach Larry Brown.

San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets

The Spurs (8-6 SU, 7-7 ATS) have come around in a big way recently after battling a slew of injuries and have won 7 of 10 heading into Friday. While the team is averaging just 93.2 points per game, they are still playing their stellar brand of defense, limiting opponents to just 91.9 points per contest.

The Rockets (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS) have won six of ten heading into Friday but still look like a team in search of its new identity after acquiring the mercurial Ron Artest in the offseason.

The Rockets have averaged just 93.8 points per contest but are limiting their opponents to just 90.6 points per game.

Analysis: This game is going to be a low-scoring affair that likely comes down to the final one or two possessions of the contest.

I like the Rockets to pull out a very narrow victory playing on their home floor.

Take the Rockets to cover NBA sports betting buffs if the line for this matchup doesn’t go too far over four or five points at best.
