Free NBA Picks For Friday December 17, 2021

Warriors vs. Celtics, 7:30PM (EST)

In the current NBA setting, this is a rare game where both rosters are currently unaffected by any COVID issues (touchwood), which means that hopefully there will be less weirdness. 

The Warriors continue to roll, losing only once in their last 5 games. The Celtics, however, are still lacking consistency, which seems to be an ongoing issue with this team full of potential. We've got Golden State showing their class and covering the spread.

BET: Warriors -3.5 (Best odds -110)

Nuggets vs. Hawks, 7:30PM (EST)

Points, points, points! This is a tussle between two teams that can score a lot and can leak a lot just as well. Over their last 5, the Nuggets have improved on their season total of 105.9 points per game, going at a rate of 115.6. The Hawks continue to be one of the best teams on the offensive end in their own right, ranking 4th in the league for PPG - a figure that has been even higher in their last 5 games also. This could be a game with 230+ points.

BET: Total points OVER 222.5 (Best odds -110)

Bucks vs. Pelicans, 8:00PM (EST)

Giannis is out, but even so, it's almost downright insulting that this game is essentially a pick'em considering the fact that Milwaukee still have championship players suiting up.

New Orleans, despite their buzzer beating heroics against the Thunder on Wednesday night, are still a very ordinary team. We'll take the moneyline pick and watch Khris Middleton light them up. Also, don't discount Pat Connaughton to hit a few from range.

BET: Bucks ML (Best odds -145)
