NBA Picks Tonight

Fourteen games on Wednesday, and the best spot on the board is in Boston, where the Celtics are resting Jayson Tatum and the line moved one measly point. That's our Featured pick. I've got a side in every game below, and on six of them I'm riding with the market instead of last season's numbers, because the teams in front of us don't look like last year's.

Quick note on those six: when a star is out or a team has flipped from last season, our ratings are a step behind, so we go with the board and say so. Those cards don't carry a gap. Every game pick here lands on the receipts page win or lose.
