Free NBA Picks For Thursday January 6, 2022

Celtics vs. Knicks, 7.30PM ET

The Celtics might be on the second night of a back-to-back but they still look good to take care of things against a slightly undermanned Knicks team at the Garden. New York will still be without Kemba Walker, and they're already missing Derrick Rose, leaving them without a recongised point guard running the show. The likes of Randle and Burks will help out, but it feels like they might be a man or two short of competing with the Tatum/Brown one-two punch. These two played only three weeks ago with the Celtics duo scoring 25 and 23 points respectively.

BET: Celtics -1 (Best odds -110)

Warriors vs. Pelicans, 8.00PM ET

At the time of publishing the status of Steph Curry for the Warriors' tilt against New Orleans is officially unknown, kinda. The MVP frontrunner is nursing a bruised quad and given the fact that he's on the second night of a back-to-back and shot terribly last night (5-24 from the field, 1-9 from deep), it's probably unlikely that he sees the floor against the lowly Pelicans. So, with that said, the total looks like the best play. Golden State are the No. 1 defense in the league at the moment, reducing their opponents to just 101 points per game while the Pels are the 6th worst offense by points production. The total is currently set at 219.5 and may come down a couple of points if Curry is confirmed out in the early afternoon, but honestly, this is a game that could go sub-210.

BET: Total points UNDER 219 (Best odds -110)

*Editor's note: Since the time of original publishing, both Steph Curry and Draymond Green have been ruled out for the Warriors, reducing the previous available points total from 219 to 211.5. We still recommend taking the under in this game on the lower total.

Pistons vs. Grizzlies, 8.00PM ET

As we expected last night, the Pistons completely fell to pieces on the defensive end, letting the Hornets through 140 points in a blowout. There won't be too much sense of relief tonight for Detroit against Memphis who have been scoring at an extremely high clip of 115 points per game when listed as favorites this season. They make the bad teams pay, and right now, there aren't too many teams worse than the Pistons.

BET Total points OVER 219.5 (Best odds -110)
