High-volume NBA slates can oftentimes generate a flurry of picks. Such is the case Wednesday, as PRO reveals three strong predictions.

The two key betting resources providing tonight's NBA picks against the spread are sharp-action and PRO projections tools. Sharp action tracks verified betting action from respected bettors, which can frequently move odds. Our projections, meanwhile, find the biggest mismatches between our spread and NBA lines.

Both tools are matching on all three NBA games. Sorted by strength in the Action App, these are the smartest picks against the spread to consider:

  • Timberwolves vs. Pistons, 7 p.m. ET
  • Spurs vs. Celtics, 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Hornets vs. Pelicans, 8 p.m. ET

And all three NBA predictions are 'A' edges from projections, including an A+ selection. Check out the NBA picks against the spread below.
