Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Total Over 242.5 (-110)

Take LA Lakers – New Orleans OVER (#547-548)

The Lakers just hung 129 on the Warriors and 128 on the Kings in their last two games; playing with pace despite enjoying double digit leads throughout that pair of blowout victories.  LA continues to be mediocre at best on the defensive end of the court.  New Orleans just got a big boost to their offensive capabilities with the long awaited return of Dejounte Murray to the lineup as their starting point guard.  In his last two outings, the Pelicans cashed Over bets with room to spare; as a team they’ve scored scored 110+ in ten straight games without playing lockdown defense in any of them. The last meeting between these two teams on this floor (in January) produced 254 points.  No surprise here if tonight’s game approaches or exceeds that number.  Take the OVER.

Take Phoenix - Sacramento UNDER (#549-550)

The video below is Tuesday's edition of 'Teddy's Tips', a daily ten minute NBA picks video posted every weekday before 11 AM Pacific Time. I give out four 'free plays' on today's show, including picks for Knicks - Raptors (side) and Lakers - Pelicans (total). For the late game in Sacramento, bettors shouldn't expect much pace, deflating scoring. Even with Devin Booker off the injury report, the Suns have been playing as slow as molasses since Dillon Brooks got hurt, ranked #29 in Pace Ratings since the All Star Break. The Kings offensive production is limited, to put it mildly, held to 104 or less five times in their last eight games. Check out the full video for a more detailed breakdown and best of luck with all your bets on Tuesday! Take the UNDER

Tuesday’s FREE WINNER: Memphis Grizzlies.

Game 545.

5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST.

My friends, I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you the Memphis grizzlies are a good team. We are all aware they have been absolutely decimated by injuries this season. But sports betting isn't about who wins, sportsbetting is about who covers. And I feel the Minnesota Timberwolves are being overvalued here. Minnesota enters this contest failing to cover eight of their last 11 outings, which does include a 2-4 ATS mark at home during that span. Meanwhile, Memphis enters this contest winning and covering their last two outings, and going back a bit, they have covered six of their last nine overall contests. They have covered five of six games played on the road during that span. They also come into this game may be with a glimmer of hope (lol). Believe they're not, they have had their way in this series taking four of the last six meetings straight up, while covering four of the last seven matchups. I am aware the Timberwolves are running a little hot, winning six of their last seven SU. But this team has only had to lay double-digits but once during that time span and they failed to cover that number. While I will agree on paper, Minnesota is the better team, but the line is just way too high. Take Memphis. than thank you.

Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Oklahoma City Thunder -10.5 (-105)

Since 1999, NBA road favorites of -9 or greater are 180-122-8 ATS (59.6%) versus opponents with the same amount of rest in games following the All-Star break, including 131-86-3 ATS (60.4%) since 2014. Similarly, since 2009, NBA road favorites of five points or greater are 1806-1513-66 ATS (55%), while double-digit road favorites are 383-310-15 ATS (55.3%). Even better, double-digit road favorites are 185-100-6 ATS (64.9%) after the All-Star break, provided they have a non-division game on deck, including 125-64-3 ATS (66.1%) since 2016, covering the spread by an average margin of +3.3 points per game. Oklahoma City falls into profitable 310-243-10 ATS (56.1%) and 260-195-11 ATS (57.1%) statistical profile indicators of mine that date to 1999 and invest on NBA road favorites of greater than 8 points with certain turnover margins. Finally, the Thunder find support in a very good 336-203-12 ATS (62.3%) NBA Road Favorite Scoring Margin system of mine that dates to 1989 and invests on large road favorites with certain scoring margins. This situation has been 224-131-5 ATS (63.1%) since 2016, covering the spread by an average margin of +3.5 points per game. Take the Oklahoma City Thunder as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Tuesday, March 3.

Since 2009, NBA road favorites of five points or greater are 1806-1513-66 ATS (55%), while double-digit road favorites are 383-310-15 ATS (55.3%). Even better, double-digit road favorites are 185-100-6 ATS (64.9%) after the All-Star break, provided they have a non-division game on deck, including 125-64-3 ATS (66.1%) since 2016, covering the spread by an average margin of +3.3 points per game. Phoenix arrives in Sacramento off a 113-110 victory over the Lakers as 5.5-point underdogs, snapping a two-game losing streak. That win is significant because NBA road favorites of five points or greater coming off a win that snapped two or more consecutive losses are 222-169-7 ATS (56.8%) since 1989. Let’s also note that NBA road favorites coming off an upset win as home underdogs are 136-109-6 ATS (55.5%). Phoenix falls into a very good 1321-1007-42 ATS (56.7%) NBA system of mine that dates to 2001 and invests on certain NBA road favorites of greater than three points. This situation has been 493-355-15 ATS (58.1%) since 2019. Finally, the Suns find support in a profitable 336-203-12 ATS (62.3%) NBA Road Favorite Scoring Margin system of mine that dates to 1989 and invests on large road favorites with certain scoring margins. This situation has been 224-131-5 ATS (63.1%) since 2016, covering the spread by an average margin of +3.5 points per game.

Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Oklahoma City Thunder -10.5 (-105)

The official outlaw line is -14.5. Our outlaw line is what the line would be without public perception or square line moves.

Large away favorites in revenge as long as they do not have a horrible delta points allowed on the season are 1300-993-45. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the average team total. Big away favorites with at least 14 losses are 1556-1220-64 for +214 units.

Two College Basketball selections and an NBA side. Measured adjustments. Proven math. Sustained results.

The tweaking has been made — and the results followed immediately. After refining our top College Basketball system and upgrading to a 58%+ subsystem this season, the first rough patch since October was short-lived. Since the tweak: 9-5 and climbing. The market doesn’t get grace periods — and neither do the sportsbooks. This is long-term production, not short bursts:

All Sports: 413-347 (54%) +3266

Basketball: 253-213 (54%) +1867

College Basketball: 175-137 (56%) +2413

NBA: 63-53 (54%) +472

College hoops continues to be a major engine, now powered by a refined system producing at an elite clip. NBA remains profitable and steady. The overall portfolio stays comfortably in the black.

Date/Time: March 3, 2026 8:10 PM EST

Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Cason Wallace (OKC) Over 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists at Chicago

The Thunder will once again be without a slew of starters as all of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams will all miss tonight’s game at Chicago. Cason Wallace will once again look to take advantage of all those injuries as we’ll look at him to go over 23.5 points + rebounds + assists. In his last three games without SGA in the lineup Wallace averaged 35.3 points + rebounds + assists with the Bulls sitting bottom ten in defensive efficiency this season but top five in pace. Wallace should slot in as the starting point guard tonight with Chicago giving up the fifth most rebounds and most assists to point guards per game over the last 15 days. With the Bulls running at a much faster pace than OKC and playing at home, they should dictate the pace which should translate to more possessions overall for both teams. With the Thunder sitting multiple starters again tonight as well as the Bulls let’s look for Wallace to stuff the stat sheet going over 23.5 points + rebounds + assists with OKC favored by double digits.
