When scanning today’s NBA betting picks, the Warriors stand out a bit. The team has shuffled the lineup, and they have pending injury news to potentially give us an edge in the frontcourt in this contest. Using the help of OddsShopper to locate the best plays and prices, let’s analyze some NBA plays.

NBA Betting Picks & Predictions | Top NBA Bets
Kevon Looney averages just 4.2 rebounds per game this season, but he’s played minimally — 14.4 minutes per game. If we multiply that out, Looney has pulled down 10.5 boards per 36 minutes, leaving some upside if we can project an expanded role. This should be Looney’s fourth consecutive start at center for the Warriors, and his minutes went up each of the last three — averaging 6.7 rebounds in 17 minutes per.
James Wiseman played in all three of those games, averaging 20 minutes per game. Steve Kerr has confirmed that while Draymond Green and Eric Paschall will need to play some small-ball center, Looney is in for some extra run against the Celtics. I’ll trust he can pull down six or more boards with the extra time. This is one of my favorite NBA betting picks on the board today.
