Free NBA Picks For Thursday December 9, 2021

Jazz vs. 76ers, 7:00PM (EST)

The Jazz take on the Sixers here, with the Western Conference side favored by 2.5 points on the road. After simulating this game over 10,000 times, our model gives Utah a 52% chance of covering, and we like it a lot as a bet.

The 76ers are just 1-3 against the spread as home dogs this season, and after a hard-fought win over the Hornets, we think they may struggle against the consistent Jazz team here.

BET: Jazz -2.5 (Best odds -110)

Lakers vs. Grizzlies, 8:00PM (EST)

The Grizzlies won five straight before going down to Luka and the Mavs last night, and now are just a 39% chance of winning against the Lakers tonight.

LA on the other hand are coming off arguably their best win of the season two nights ago, with all of the Big Three producing against the Celtics. 

We're playing it safe and taking them at the moneyline tonight, and if you've been thinking about the Caesars Sportsbook free NBA jersey offer, this could be the game to hit.

BET: Lakers moneyline (Best odds -139)

Nuggets vs. Spurs, 8:30PM (ET)

The best play for the final game of the night comes in the Over/Under market, with the Over looking like a good bet.

Our model has this at a 52% probability, which is very good for a totals bet. Both of these teams have plenty of offensive weapons, with Nikola Jokic and Dejounte Murray chances of getting opposing triple doubles in a high-scoring game.

BET: Total point OVER 213.5 (Best odds -110)
