NBA Play for 3/13

Short slate of games today, but looks like there’s one solid opportunity to get back on track.

Here are three games on the board:

Notes: line is -3.5 at BetED, BetJamaica, WSEX, 5Dimes and Pinnacle

NBA Sacramento KingsSacramento -3.5 vs. NBA Portland TrailblazersPortland o/u 204.5

NBA Phoenix SunsPhoenix -7.5 vs. NBA Oakland WarriorsGolden State o/u 236
Notes: line is -7 at BetJamaica, WSEX, SportingBet

Pick: Golden State +7.5. The Warriors have won three straight in this series and now play the running game better than the Suns due to their young legs and the Shaq trade. Golden State was hoping to get some rest for Davis, Jackson and Ellis last night in the win against Toronto, but all three ended up playing around 40 minutes. This could make a difference in the fourth quarter against Phoenix, but I think the Warriors’ big three have enough left in the tank to run with Suns. Also, Biedrins only played 26 minutes, so he should be nice and fresh and ready to bang (read: get tossed around) with Shaq. The Warriors have a great shot at winning this one outright, but short of that, I think they definitely cover the 7.5.

I’ve always been tempted to take the under in this series, and tonight is no exception. 236 is awfully tempting. That means both teams can go for 115 and it still goes under. Having said that, the teams have covered that number in three straight and there really is no reason why they both won’t hit 120 tonight. Still, if you don’t feel like taking a side in this one and still want action, there are worse wagers than going with the under on 236, regardless of who’s playing.
