NBA Week 20 ATS Picks

New Orleans Pelicans @ Sacramento Kings

When: Monday, March 6th, 2023 at 2:00 pm ET
Where: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California
TV / Streaming: NBA TV

What a strange season it has been for the New Orleans Pelicans. Injuries have taken a huge toll on this team. With injuries to Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, a once-promising season has turned into one that could see the Pelicans miss the playoffs.

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the biggest surprises in the league this season. Currently sitting at 37-26, the Kings hold the third position in the Western Conference standings. With one of the league’s highest-scoring offenses, the Kings are going to be a very tough team come playoff time.

In looking at the spread for this game, the Kings are favored by five points. While the Kings are equally as good on the road as they are at home, the Pelicans are abysmal on the road. With an 11-22 record away from the “Big Easy”, New Orleans has had their fair share of struggles on the road.

We like the Kings in this one. Sacramento is playing well, winning seven of their last 10. They also know that this is their opportunity to move up to the second spot in the West. Memphis currently holds a one game lead over the Kings, and with Ja Morant out multiple games for Memphis, now is the time for the Kings to make their move.

Raptors vs Nuggets Game Info | Updated NBA Odds
When: Monday, March 6, 2023 at 2:00 pm ET
Where: Ball Arena, Denver, Colorado
TV / Streaming: –

Don’t look now, but the Toronto Raptors are making a run up the Eastern Conference standings. Winners of seven of their last 10, the Raptors are ready to make a playoff run. They’ll head to Denver on Monday night to face the Western Conference-leading Nuggets.

The Nuggets are winners of three in a row, and eight of their last 10. They have the best home record in the league, as they’ll enter this one with a 29-4 home mark. The Raptors aren’t very good on the road, as they come into this one at 12-20 away from their home court.

While we think Denver will win the game, the Nuggets always seem to keep things close. Toronto is a 6.5-point underdog in this one. We think Denver wins, but they won’t cover the spread. Toronto will keep it close, and this one could even come down to the wire.

Charlotte Hornets @ New York Knicks

Hornets vs Knicks Game Info | Updated NBA Odds
When: Tuesday, March 7th, 2023 at 2:00 pm ET
Where: Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, New York
TV / Streaming: –

Things just haven’t gone Charlotte’s way this season. With LaMelo Ball now out for the season, things are getting even worse for Charlotte. The Hornets have lost three straight and are out of playoff contention.

Just when you think things are bad for Charlotte, they’re going to get even worse. Charlotte will now head to Madison Square Garden to take on one of the league’s hottest teams in the New York Knicks. The Knicks have won nine straight games, and are coming off of a huge overtime victory over the Boston Celtics.

We’re anticipating that the Knicks will be a four-seven-point favorite over the Hornets. It could maybe be even a little bit more than that. As long as you’re comfortable with the spread, we advise you to take the Knicks.
