NBA | Kings vs Spurs
Play on: Spurs -4½ -101 at pinnacle
It has taken all season, but the buy sign is finally on the Spurs. Gregg Popovich has his youngest team ever. It's taken the Spurs a quarter of the season to get going, but they have defeated both the Clippers and Rockets in two of their last three games. Those are two of the top six teams in the NBA. Sacramento has been overachieving. But the Kings could be hitting a rough patch as they continue to miss their second-leading scorer, De'Aaron Fox, and top big man Marvin Bagley III. They also might be without Bogdan Bogdanovic, their top reserve. The Kings rank 26th in scoring. San Antonio outscores Sacramento by nearly eight points a game. The spot lays out well, too, for San Antonio. The Spurs have been idle since Tuesday. Their next game isn't for six more days. Popovich should have the Spurs rested, primed and prepared for an all-out effort. It's an added bonus if LaMarcus Aldridge is able to play, but I still like San Antonio if he can't. The Spurs catch the Kings in action for a third time in five days. The Spurs also are in a rare triple-revenge spot as the Kings swept all three games last season.

NBA | Clippers vs Bucks
Play on: Clippers +3½ -105 at pinnacle
10* FREE NBA PICK (Clippers +3.5)
I'll take my chances here with the Clippers as a road dog against the Bucks. Milwaukee is a great team and this might seem like a short number to lay with them at home, but I like the Clippers to win this game outright. LA will be out for revenge from a 129-124 home loss to the Bucks a month a go. They only lost by 5 in the first meeting without Kawhi Leonard or Paul George. Giannis also had a monster game with 38 points. I just think we LA is 100% locked into a game there's not much teams can do. In my opinion they are right there with the Lakers as the most talented team in the league. Clippers are 32-19 ATS over the last 2 seasons when revening a loss. Give me Los Angeles +3.5!

NBA | Kings vs Spurs
Play on: Spurs -4½ -109 at GTBets
Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on San Antonio Spurs -4.5 The Key: The San Antonio Spurs just won their last 2 home games against 2 of the best teams in the NBA in the Clippers and Rockets. And now they’ve had 2 days off and should handle the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have lost 4 of their last 5 and are dealing with some injuries right now. Fox and Bagley are out, and Bogdanovic and Joseph are questionable. The Spurs have won 34 of their last 44 home meetings with the Kings. Take San Antonio.

NBA | Clippers vs Bucks
Play on: Clippers +4 -110 at pinnacle
My free play is on the LA Clippers at 10:35 ET.The Milwaukee Bucks had the NBA's best regular season record last season but lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Kawhi-led Raptors, who then went on the capture Toronto's first-ever NBA title. Kawhi "took his talents" to LA to play with the Clippers (joined by Paul George) and it's those 16-6 Clippers who will visit Milwaukee tonight with the challenge of 'cooling off' the white-hot Milwaukee Bucks. The Clippers enter having won NINE of their last 10 but the 19-3 Bucks (tied with the Lakers of the NBA's best record at 19-3), will take the court on a 13-game winning streak, the franchise's longest since winning 16 in a row in a stretch that spanned the end of the 1972-73 season and the beginning of the 1973-74 campaign
The Clippers are coming in off an easy 117-97 home win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, despite Leonard scoring just 11 points on 3-of-15 shooting. Leonard (25.0-7.9-6.3) and George (23.5-6.1-7.5) are also two of the NB's best defensive players plus NO team in the league can match LA, which brings both guard Williams (21.1 & 6.3 APG) and PF Harrell (19.1 & 8.0) off the bench. It was Harrell (26 points on 11-of-13 shooting) and Paul George (25 while knocking down 6-of-7 three-pointers), who led the way against the Blazers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the league's reigning MVP and at the moment, it would be hard to argue against him winning it again this season. The "Greek Freak: is averaging 31.7-13.3-5.8 on 56.5% shooting. Now that SF Middleton (17.4 & 5.5) is back after missing a little more than two weeks, Milwaukee's starting rotation also includes center Lopez (10.4 & 5.0) plus guard Bledsoe (15.7-5.1-5.6) and Matthews (8.3). Support off the bench comes from as many as EIGHT-NINE players!
These teams met back on Nov 6 in Los Angeles, when two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard sat out. Antetokounmpo dominated the Clippers in that one, with 38 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists in a 129-124 win. Leonard was out on “load management”detail in that first meeting but LA has been off since Tuesday, so there is NO reason Leonard won't be ready for the rematch. Of course, let's also note that George had yet to return to the court for the Clippers in that contest, either. "All hands are on deck" for LA this time around and even Milwaukee has to lose sometime, right? This is as good a spot as any. Take the points.
Good luck...Larry
