Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Denver Nuggets -6.5
The Houston Rockets will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back tonight after a home win over the Toronto Raptors last night where they needed to pull away late to get the victory. All five starters played at least 30 minutes last night.
The Rockets will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days. They lack depth and aren't equipped to handle these back-to-back situations as well as many other teams. Now they have to travel to Denver and play in altitude tonight.
The Nuggets will be highly motivated for a victory after back-to-back losses to the Thunder and Knicks. They will be the much fresher team playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. They are also as healthy as they have been in a long time.
The Nuggets just got Aaron Gordon back, and he put up 23 points and 10 rebounds in a 3-point loss at OKC last time out. The only key player they are missing is Peyton Watson right now. They should handle the Rockets tonight given the favorable spot. Bet the Nuggets Wednesday.
Mike Lundin
Rockets vs Nuggets NBA Free Pick
The Angle(s): The Denver Nuggets are 41-24 to the over on the season and coming off a 129-126 loss at OKC on Monday, I expect them to keep pushing the tempo against a Rockets team on the second leg of a back-to-back.
The Bet: OVER (3%).
Coming off a disappointing 0-3 Tuesday, let's look at longer-term results and we find Mike with a solid 74-58 (56%) basketball record dating back to January 21.
Mike has three basketball winners locked in for Wednesday, and the card tips off as early as 11 AM ET! Grab an all-access pass to ensure you don't miss a single winner.
