Free Sports Picks from Top Betting Handicappers - Best Bets of the Day

1* Free Pick on Raptors +6½ -110

The Celtics don't have to blow out the Pelicans to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They don't even have to win if the Knicks were to lose to the Raptors today. All Boston has to do to get the second seed is beat either New Orleans or Orlando at home on Sunday. The Celtics also would get the No. 2 seed if the Knicks were to lose to Toronto, or Charlotte in its final regular season game.

This spot sets up well for New Orleans. The Pelicans last played three days ago when they piled up a season-high 156 points against the Jazz in a 19-point victory. New Orleans achieved that without using its starters. The youthful Pelicans are playing loose with a lot of energy and offense.

This is in direct contrast to the Celtics, who play at the league's slowest pace and will be without rest following a 112-106 road loss to the Knicks last night. Jayson Tatum logged nearly 40 minutes in that game. This also marks Boston's eighth game in 13 days.

The Celtics did not have Jaylen Brown, their leading scorer at 28.8 points, last night because of left Achilles tendinitis. He is questionable here. I'm sure Boston would like to hold out Brown until the playoffs.  Sure the Celtics are more than likely to win, but I would be surprised if it were by blowout fashion.  (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 28-11 on his last 39 NBA premium/free plays and has his NBA Game of the Week today in addition to this free selection.) 
 

1* on Knicks -5½

Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Toronto is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 games.

- Toronto is 8-3 in its last 11 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference

- Toronto is 5-3 ATS in their last 8 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 4/10:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Friday is with the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points versus the Indiana Pacers. Philadelphia (43-37) has lost three games in a row after their 113-102 loss at Houston as a 6.5-point underdog last night. The 76ers stay on the road where they have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 18 games when favored. They have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games when favored by 10 or more points. Indiana (19-61) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 123-94 victory at Brooklyn as a 3.5-point road favorite on Thursday. The Pacers have three straight games that finished Under the Total — and they have then failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games after playing three or more Unders in a row. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 20 games against teams with a winning percentage in the 51-60% range. Take Philadelphia minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Free Pick on Pacers +15½ -110

White Sox vs Royals MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Kansas City Royals are 9-4 to the under on the season and the Chicago White Sox have put up a whopping 11 runs across their last five games, all seeing eight runs or fewer in total. White Sox righty Davis Martin (2-0, 2.45 ERA) is coming off a couple of solid outings and Kansas City righty Kris Bubic (1-1, 4.09 ERA) has posted a 2.30 ERA in 11 career outings (eight starts) against the White Sox.

The Bet: UNDER (3%).

Red Sox -142

Boston and St. Louis meet and we’re on the Red Sox. Boston sends out Connelly Early, who has allowed just 3 runs through 9.1 innings so far this season. He’ll go up against Dustin May, who has been atrocious so far this season. May owns an ERA of 15.95 and has allowed 13 runs through 7.1 innings of work. This is a great spot to fade May once again. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction.

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Timberwolves/Rockets UNDER 224

Defensive intensity will be high for the Rockets in this game tonight.  They are tied with the Lakers for the 4th seed in the West and want to get home-court advantage in that series.  Look for them to shut down the Timberwolves to lead the way to us cashing this UNDER ticket.

The Rockets are a dead nuts UNDER team ranking 29th in pace and 5th in defensive rating.  They will control the pace playing at home tonight.  The Rockets are 25-14 UNDER in all home games this season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be resting a lot of guys as they are locked into the 6th seed in the West.  They have nothing to play for and are just trying to get healthy for the postseason. They have already ruled out Randle and Hyland, and Edwards is questionable.  They will be missing a lot of offensive firepower tonight.

The Timberwolves are 15-6 UNDER in their last 21 games overall.  The UNDER is 2-0 in two meetings between the Timberwolves and Rockets this season with 215 and 186 combined points at the end of regulation.  Bet the UNDER in this game Friday.

(#527) Los Angeles Clippers | ATS | . 

As the regular season concludes this weekend, there's only two remaining games for everyone. Just one game separates these two sides for a chance to play just one play-in game instead of having to win twice to get it. Having said that, this game is absolutely massive. With a win here, LAC can clinch the #8 seed and be en-route to Phoenix after Saturday's game at home. If the Clips were to lose this one, everything would come down to what happens on Saturday. Portland's been great this year despite the injury woes. However, the Blazers still don't have that main piece to be their superstar with Dame still out and Simons gone. I believe that Kawhi is going to be the difference in this one, being the best player on the court and willing his team to victory. Grab the points. 

Burns' Prediction: 109-102 Clippers.

1* Free Pick on Kings +11½

The Warriors have absolutely nothing to gain tonight and everything to lose.
Golden State is officially locked into the 10th seed in the Western Conference standings.

Steve Kerr is prioritizing health for the Play-In tournament rather than chasing a meaningless blowout win in Sacramento.
The Warriors are also playing the second half of a back-to-back after losing a high-intensity game to the Lakers last night.

Stephen Curry is expected to suit up after resting on Thursday, but do not expect him to log heavy minutes.
Kerr has been strictly managing the rotation of his veterans to ensure they are fresh for next week’s do-or-die scenario.

The Kings are admittedly a skeleton crew right now with Domantas Sabonis out for the year and DeMar DeRozan sidelined.
However, double-digit spreads in the final week of the season are a massive red flag for favorite bettors.

Teams with locked-in seeds rarely keep their foot on the gas once they build a comfortable lead.
Golden State has struggled in this exact role, going just 3-8 against the spread this season when favored by 10 points or more.

Sacramento’s young rotation players are fighting for future contracts and will play with much more energy than a bored Warriors squad.
The Warriors’ defensive rating consistently drops in road back-to-back situations, often leading to a lack of focus on the perimeter.

This has the classic feel of a game where the Warriors lead by 15 in the third and allow a backdoor cover in the fourth.
Grab the double digits with the home underdog while the public overvalues a team that is already looking toward the postseason.

Bet Kings +11.5 (-115).

1* NBA - Suns/Lakers FREE PICK on Suns -2.5

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Los Angeles Lakers +2.5

I know the Lakers are undermanned right now without Doncic and Reaves.  But they have a lot to play for battling the Rockets for the 4th seed in the West and home-court advantage in the first round.  They are tied with the Rockets and own the tiebreaker.  The Phoenix Suns have nothing to play for as they are locked in to the 7th seed in the West.  They are going to be resting Devin Booker, and Jalen Green is questionable although he will almost certainly sit.  And even the starters that play won't be playing long.  The Suns don't care about this game at all.  They'd actually probably rather the Lakers get the 4th seed to make life more difficult on the Rockets, a team that beat them in all four meetings this season.  Give me the Lakers.

1* Free Sharp Play on Juarez -115

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. German Bundesliga Take Bayern Munich -1.5 GL over St. Pauli (12:30 p.m. EST, Saturday April 11) Bayern Munich is one of the best offensive sides in the world and if they are on their game they can win by multiple goals at home or on the road. These sides haven’t played many times but Bayern one of two lifetime meetings here 8-1. We don’t think this will be that lopsided of a contest, but this one is definitely a mismatch. Bayern Munich is the top road side in the Bundesliga as they haven’t lost all season with 11 wins, 3 draws and a +30 goal differential in 14 matches. So, they are winning their road matches by an average of more than two goals per match. St. Pauli is in the bottom four for home results this season and have a -6 goal differential here. Bayern Munich doesn’t take it easy on bad sides, and they should unleash their full arsenal here. The most excitement St. Pauli might get is autographs from the Munich players before the match! Get on this line easy as Bayern Munich is a very public side and will be bet up during the week.
