We went a so-so 3-2 for Tuesday’s NBA Picks but with a full slate of games in the league on Wednesday—13 games total, it’s time to bump that record to a more respectable level as we continue to try to beat the spread and bookies!

Betting Lines: Denver Nuggets (+6) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (O/U 213.5)
Game time: 11 am AEDT

Picks: Minnesota ATS, Over 213.5
Prediction: Timberwolves 120, Nuggets 105

Time for the Wolves to recapture their early season magic; Minnesota started the season at 7-4 but has lost four of their last games. No worries as Kevin Love continues to play at home or on the road but he needs help from point guard Ricky Rubio, who needs to consistently help in the scoring department, plus the usual suspects in Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic.

Denver has won their first meeting this season to the tune of 117-113 via a total team effort. Seven players scored at least 10 points for the Nuggets, led by Wilson Chandler's 19 points. Kenneth Faried added 16 points and 10 rebounds and Ty Lawson had 14 points and 10 assists. Denver has won three in a row and went 2-1 ATS … Perfect spot for a letdown game.

Betting Lines: San Antonio Spurs (+2.5) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (202.5)
Game time: 11:00 am AEDT

Picks: Oklahoma City ATS, Under 202.5
Prediction: Thunder 105, Spurs 89

The Thunder have prepared extra for this West powerhouse match-up. They rested star PG Russell Westbrook in their last game and assured the other starters of being fresh for this one by giving them limited minutes. Expect Westbrook to outplay Spurs PG Tony Parker. Expect Kevin Durant to explode.

Sure, the Spurs are on an 11-game winning streak—currently the best run in the NBA this season, but that’s to end tonight against the Thunder, which are on a little streak of their own winning four consecutive games (4-0 ATS).

Betting Lines: Portland Trail Blazers (-4) vs. Phoenix Suns (O/U: 199.0)
Game time: 12:00 noon AEDT

Picks: Phoenix ATS
Prediction: Blazers 99, Suns 96

Weird line… The Blazers are one of the best teams in the league and they are just four-point road favorites? Something’s up here and predicting the Suns to cover.
