Top NBA Picks and Predictions for April (Back Clippers, Grizzlies As Home Favorites)
The NBA season is winding down, the Masters are in full swing and MLB baseball is kicking off, but BetSided still has you covered with picks from the NBA.
BetSided's Donnavan Smoot have you covered with his favorites in the Association tonight, with all odds via WynnBET:
Kings vs. Clippers Prediction and Pick
This is my best bet of the day. I love the Clippers in this spot. Sacramento has checked out of this season, and the Clippers are still trying to lock in. Paul George's return gives the Clippers star power and motivation to get their chemistry back on track in the final days of the season.
Sacramento hasn't covered in four of its last five games, while the Clippers have covered in two of their last three. Over the last five games, the Kings have the fourth-worst offensive rating, while the Clippers have the third-best in the league.
These teams are on two completely different wavelengths and the Clippers have all the momentum. Unless the Clippers fall asleep at the wheel, this is an easy match for them.
Lean: Clippers -11.5 (-110)
Pelicans vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick
The Grizzlies have finally hit a rough patch without Ja Morant, but they are still in great shape to handle the Pelicans today. New Orleans has been one of the best teams in the league, according to net rating, over the last 10 games. It's rating is +6.5 and is sixth in the league. Still, the Grizzlies have been better.
Memphis, in that same time span, is second in the league in net rating at +9.4. The Grizz have faced to legitimate playoff teams in the West and have dealt with high-end talent along the way. They won't have to deal with that tonight and will be able to bounce back.
When it comes to getting back into a rhythm, there aren't many teams better than Memphis. The Grizzlies are 16-8 ATS (2nd in the league) following a loss.
Ja Morant is also questionable for this game. I'm unsure whether he will play or not, but would hammer the Grizzlies if he does.
Lean: Grizzlies -6.5 (-110)
