Mike Lundin Premium Picks

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN

The slumping Denver Nuggets have lost five of their last six and failed to cover the spread in each defeat.

They took a 125-115 loss at New Orleans on Saturday and here they'll face another offensive juggernaut with the Bucks averaging 121.1 ppg on the season. 

Milwaukee has traded wins and losses through its last six games but should finally be able to make it two on the bounce here after putting a beating on Chicago Friday night. They won that game 123-104 despite trailing by 18 points going into the half which goes to show what this team is capable of. 

The Bucks beat the Nuggets 121-114 at Denver on Nov 11 and are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine home games.

Free pick on Milwaukee Bucks.

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) TOTAL

The Indiana Pacers have won back-to-back games despite not breaking 100 points scored in either contest. They're allowing just 101.4 ppg on the season which drops to 97.1 ppg home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse where the O/U is 1-7 for the season. 

Tonight the Pacers will host a Utah team which has not played with its usual intensity on the defensive end of the court lately, but it showed what it's capable of when holding Boston to 86 points on 38.5 percent shooting its last time out. 

Under is 10-3 in Jazz last 13 vs. Eastern Conference. Under is 18-8 in Pacers last 26 vs. Western Conference. Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Indiana.

10* play on UNDER in Indiana. 

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ~ HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWDOWN

The two highest-scoring teams in the NFL will clash at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Monday night when the 9-1 LA Rams host the also 9-1 Kansas City Chiefs. I'm well happy to take the points on the visitors in what's more than likely to be a shootout.

The 23-year-old KC QB Patrick Mahomes leads an offense that ranks second in the league in scoring at 35.3 points per contest. Mahomes himself leads the league in touchdown passes (31) and passing yards per game.

Note that Saints QB Drew Brees threw for 346 yards and four TDs in a 45-35 win over the Rams two weeks ago and LA gave up 31 points to Seattle just a week ago. Surely Mahomes can put up big numbers against their D as well. 

The Rams have been asked to cover way too big numbers lately and have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games while the Chiefs are a solid 8-2 ATS on the season.

8* play on Kansas City Chiefs. 

MONDAY NIGHT NBA MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Boston Celtics won their first two games of a three-game homestand but closed it out with a 98-86 loss to Utah on Saturday. That game was the day after a draining OT win over Toronto though, so not all that surprising that they came out flat. I expect Boston to get back to its winning ways when visiting Charlotte Monday night, supported by a trend saying they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

The Hornets have dropped three of their last four, losing the last two games outright as favorites.

The Celtics have covered the spread in six straight matchups at Charlotte and in 12 of the last 16 meetings overall. 

8* play on Boston Celtics.
