Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! Another day, another dollar in the NBA and we have a nice-sized 11-game slate worth of NBA action throughout the entire day. We have some fun matchups tonight with some surprising storylines to monitor.
We have ourselves just a few teams coming into tonight's slate on a back-to-back, as the Sixers, Wizards, Hornets, Rockets, Hawks, Raptors, and Pelicans all come into this one after taking the floor on Friday night. Let's see how that affects some of our bets.
In this article, I'll be providing my favorite picks against the spread, game totals, parlays, and teasers for the NBA slate that tips off at 3:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, February 10.

NBA Betting Picks: Totals
Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) at Dallas Mavericks (241.5 total)
I'll start things off with the first game of the day as two playoff contenders and MVP candidates square off down in Dallas.
I'll be looking to target the Thunder, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander taking another leap forward and the emergence of Chet Holmgren, the Thunder have put together a top-five offense in terms of efficiency, coming into this one with a 117.7 efficiency rating.
They draw a beneficial matchup against the Mavericks, who bring in a 115.3 defensive rating. I'm expecting a back-and-forth high-scoring showdown, but feel more comfortable grabbing the Thunder team total at a price that I feel offers good value today.

NBA Betting Picks: ML and Spreads
Philadelphia 76ers (-3) at Washington Wizards (238 total)
I'll head up north to the nation's capital and take a look at the Sixers and Wizards game tonight.
We backed the Sixers last weekend to no avail. They've lost four straight dating back to that Saturday showdown against Brooklyn last week. Sure, they're on a back-to-back, but they'll take on a Wizards team who's also playing their second consecutive day. Washington looked solid against Boston on Friday, but project to regress in both offensive efficiency (107.87) and defensive efficiency (120.93).
The Sixers, on the other hand, are in a "what goes down, must come back up" scenario, and look to bounce back against a 9-42 Wizards club. I'll back them on the point spread here, and we can get them at -3 on FanDuel.
