Injuries and absences loom large ahead of Saturday's loaded NBA slate. Read on for our top NBA picks for Saturday based on the best NBA odds.
The Houston Rockets will be shorthanded once again, and the Oklahoma City Thunder will try to capitalize as big home favorites. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are the NBA's most discussed team, but not because they're winning. Kyrie Irving requested a trade Friday ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline, so his status is obviously up in the air on Saturday against the Washingto n Wizards, a team riding a six-game win streak.
The Los Angeles Lakers came away with a one-point victory over the Indiana Pacers in their last game out, and now they head to the Big Easy for a date with the New Orleans Pelicans. We cap off our best bets with the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks, who will each be missing key players.
Only two books are featured in Saturday's writeup, as BetMGM's favorable -105 odds on a pair of spreads was the best value we could find.
