NBA Best Bets, Picks Today
Phoenix Suns -3 vs. Los Angeles Lakers
By Jay Money
"(The Suns have) lost five straight. They’ve lost six of the last seven. Booker has been forcing things, and teams have been double-teaming him as well. When you get guys like KD and Bradley Beal back, [that's] a huge boost to your team. The Lakers are not a bad team, but I think the Suns are flat-out better, deeper, and better coached. I like the Suns at home in this spot minus the three."
Pick: Phoenix Suns -3
Washington Wizards +4.5 vs. Chicago Bulls
By Sean Little
"The Wizards are pathetic. We know that. They’ve lost 11 in a row. But listen to these home losses: Celtics, Cavs, Heat, Warriors, Pistons and Celtics again. Those are some of the best teams in the NBA. The Wizards are two and 13, but their two wins are against the Atlanta Hawks. Guess who plays basketball just like the Hawks? The Chicago Bulls."
Pick: Washington Wizards +4.5
