The Brooklyn Nets have been struggling of late, notable after they started the season flirting with a top-six playoff position in the East. Since Dec. 13, the Nets have fallen from the No. 7 seed to No. 11. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves remain near the top of the Western Conference, currently tied with the Thunder in win percentage. But on the second night of a back-to-back, the Timberwolves may need to slow things down, even as the favorite in the NBA odds. That thought sparks the found value in our free NBA picks and predictions as we preview Timberwolves vs. Nets on Thursday, January 25. Timberwolves vs Nets odds Timberwolves vs Nets predictions The Minnesota Timberwolves still hold the best defensive rating in the NBA by 1.5 points per 100 possessions, greater than the distance between No. 2 (the Celtics) and No. 6 (the Magic). After Monday night’s debacle of a defensive showing cost them a victory despite Karl-Anthony Towns scoring 62 points, th...

The Miami Heat are finally getting healthier and their push up the Eastern Conference standings continues tonight as they take on the Atlanta Hawks in the latest NBA odds.  Jimmy Butler returned this week after missing seven games with a toe injury and the Heat had won three in a row before getting blown out by Toronto on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Hawks have to be on the list of the NBA’s biggest disappointments this season, and a 17-23 record suggests a shake-up could be coming at the trade deadline. Check out our NBA picks and predictions for a closer look at tonight’s showdown between Southeast Division rivals. Hawks vs Heat odds Hawks vs Heat predictions With Jimmy Butler back on the court, the Miami Heat can settle back into familiar roles. For Bam Adebayo, that means a little less of a scoring burden, but still a major role as a playmaker and rebounder. That’s where I’m looking for my best bet tonight — and I like this ...

Beating the Pistons may be the present NBA standard, but there is a bit of emotional risk for any team playing Detroit these days. No one wants to be the team to snap this 25-game losing streak. The Utah Jazz certainly did not want to be that on Thursday, even as they reached tip-off as underdogs. And as absurd as it sounds, beating the Pistons may have set up Utah for a letdown moment tonight against the Toronto Raptors. Read on as we dissect the latest NBA odds for Jazz vs. Raptors in our free NBA picks and predictions.  Jazz vs Raptors odds Pet =""> Game id="290885" location="covers_ Game _odds" cta="" removeclickouts="false" removeheading="true"> Jazz vs Raptors predictions The Utah Jazz are playing their third game in four nights as part of an Eastern road trip.

Two teams trying to shake off the stink in their previous performance battle in Sacramento, as the Kings host the Phoenix Suns. SacTown is still peeling themselves off the home floor after getting crushed by the Celtics, yet still stand as 3.5-point favorites in the NBA odds. The Suns, meanwhile, were busy blowing a 22-point lead in a loss to Portland, one of the worst teams in the West. That was not a good L to take considering Phoenix is hanging onto the 10th and final play-in spot in the conference. In the ultra-competitive West, where 5.5 games separate 11th from second, which team gets a leg-up on Friday? Read below for my Suns vs. Kings free NBA picks for Friday, December 22.

It’s still early days but the Boston Celtics look like the team to beat in the East, and the latest NBA odds have them as favorites again tonight as they renew their rivalry with the Philadelphia 76ers. While the Celtics haven’t quite found top gear in their impressive start, Jayson Tatum & Co. were too good for the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday in a lopsided 124-97 win to advance in the In-Season Tournament — and they’re 8-0 at TD Garden this season. The 76ers have been more erratic over the past few weeks, but there was no shortage of firepower in the 138-94 win over the L.A. Lakers this week. Joel Embiid missed Wednesday’s loss in New Orleans due to an illness, but the superstar center should be back to lead the Philly charge tonight.
