Free NBA Picks

Here are some free NBA picks on tonight’s games that can help you win a few more of your bets.  I always feel like I have to throw out this caveat though.  While the free picks from our sharp handicappers do typically win more than they lose, they are not as strong as the experts premium predictions.

The free picks are typically strong leans the guys have, but the line just isn’t showing quite enough value for them to pull the trigger and make it a premium selection.  Other times it’s a big game that clients want an opinion on just so they can have action, but the handicapper isn’t recommending a big investment type of bet.

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 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games.

- Toronto is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games played in March.

- The Knicks has loss 8 of their last 14 games.

Verdict: The value is on the home Underdog.
