Expert NBA ATS picks: Nov. 14
Nuggets vs Pelicans: Nuggets -11.5
This spread reflects how poorly the New Orleans Pelicans are playing, and for good reason. They lost 145-111 to the Nets earlier this week before falling 142-111 to the Grizzlies on Friday. The Pels have been a disaster defensively, while the Denver Nuggets are 4-2 on the road. New Orleans is also without Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy.
Mavericks vs Cavaliers: Cavaliers -2.5
The Dallas Mavericks were hammered by 39 points against the Timberwolves on Thursday. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Heat on Friday, they're 4-2 at home, have a more efficient offense, and shoot the ball much better. I'll back the Cavs.
Pistons vs Heat: Pistons -4.5
The Detroit Pistons possess an elite defense, allowing just 107.8 points per game. The Miami Heat? They're giving up 120.1. That's a massive difference, and Detroit is already 5-1 on the road. The Pistons are also well-rested, while Miami is playing the second night of a back-to-back. Detroit is the play.
Nets vs Grizzlies: Grizzlies -5.5
The Memphis Grizzlies showcased their offensive firepower against the Pelicans and have a +8.1 scoring margin, compared with -5.1 for the Brooklyn Nets. Memphis ranks seventh in scoring, while Brooklyn ranks 24th, and the Grizzlies can exploit the Nets' 20th-ranked defense.
Bulls vs Timberwolves: Timberwolves -14.5
I know this is a massive spread, but the Chicago Bulls are downright awful, allowing the most points per game in the league. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a +13.4 scoring margin, compared with Chicago's -13.3. The Wolves are 5-1 at home and continue to win without Anthony Edwards. I'll back Minny for another convincing victory.
