NBA predictions, picks, odds: Thunder vs. Celtics, Spurs vs. Warriors

Last Friday we cashed on two of our three NBA bets. The third one fell victim to a Stephen Curry 3-point avalanche in the Cavaliers’ loss to the Warriors on Friday. This Monday's slate is chock full of plucky teams at compelling prices.

Magic is betting on Magic -1.5 vs. Hornets. Thunder is also betting Thunder +11. 5 vs Celtics and Spurs +7.

Orlando Magic are the team to beat on Monday. Charlotte Hornets have lost eight straight games. LaMelo Ball played for the Hornets on Saturday. The Magic have won two straight. Orlando's star player Paolo Banchero is a rookie who could play in this year's All-Star game.

Magic is a favorite against Hornets at 1.5.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Thunder this season. He scored 37 points on Sunday. The Thunder have won six of their last 10 games. They lost just three games all year by double digits. Celtics have also won 6 straight games, but they are short-handed with Malcolm Brogdon out injured.

NBA predictions, picks and odds: Thunder vs. Celtics, Spurs vs., Warriors.

Golden State Warriors are 5-8 this season. The Warriors have won by six or more points just twice in that span. San Antonio is 6-7 and has a better record than Golden State. The Spurs have an 8-5 ATS record and a strong season from Keldon Johnson.
