Here are the details.
NBA Picks for Friday
*NBA odds as of Friday afternoon
Hornets vs. 76ers Pick
7 p.m. ET | NBCS-PH+
The Hornets vs. 76ers total currently sits at 214 across the market.
However, FanDuel opened this line at 218.5, signaling just how heavy the under action has been thus far.
Specifically, Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting four separate steam moves on the under, leaving little doubt regarding the sharp side of this total.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line moves across the market that are often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
PRO Report Pick: Under 214 (-110)

Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies Pick
8 p.m. ET | BSSE
Blazers vs. Grizzlies is a match for the Action Network’s Road Dogs Off ATS Loss PRO System, which has produced a 105-64-1 (62%) ATS record dating back to 2005 by identifying undervalued road ‘dogs that failed to cover their previous game.
This spread has already dropped from Portland +3.5 to +1.5, so the market appears to be taking note of this historically profitable trend as well.
