Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! Another day, another dollar in the NBA and we have a nice-sized six-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 Hawks, Warriors, and Spurs 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 6:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, February 3.

NBA Betting Picks: Totals
Golden State Warriors (+2.5) at Atlanta Hawks (247.5 total)
I'll start things off down in Atlanta. The Hawks were one of the few teams running a back-to-back on a Saturday night and will be welcoming Stephen Curry and the Warriors to town tonight.
The Warriors, who also come into this one on a back-to-back, rank 11th in offensive efficiency and see a nice +4.95 boost in projected offensive efficiency. They will also look to take advantage of poor matchups at the point guard position as well as the bench, where the Hawks rank 23rd in defensive efficiency in both. Between their poor defense and tired legs on the back-to-back, I'll take the Warriors to score at least 124 points in this one.
The Pick: Warriors TT o123.5 (-105, FanDuel Sportsbook)

NBA Betting Picks: ML and Spreads
Brooklyn Nets (+4.5) at Philadelphia 76ers (231 total)
I'll head north to Philly to take a look at things between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. The big news out of Philadelphia this week has of course been Joel Embiid, who will be out for a considerable amount of time with a meniscus injury.
Nevertheless, the Sixers still project well in this one. They project to see minor boosts in both offensive efficiency (+1.05) and defensive efficiency (-0.34). It's not much, and the loss of Embiid hurts, but this is still a very well-coached Philly team. As much as I would've liked to get this at a lower number, I'll deal with the juice and grab them on the moneyline here.
The pick: Sixers ML (-175, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Favorite ML Parlay: Sixers + Cavaliers ML (-111, DK)
Favorite Teaser: GS/ATL o241 + MIL/DAL o244 (-110, FD)
