Pick 'n' roll: Saturday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks (5, 182)

Metta World Peace, the former Ron Artest, played a big role in the Lakers’ 96-91 win over the Clippers on Wednesday. Not only did he have seven assists, five rebounds and three points, he got in a scrum with Blake Griffin that energized the Lakers.

"Everybody played with the right attitude, the right temperament," Kobe Bryant said. "Everyone did what they do best. Metta was himself. He wasn't trying to be this peaceful guy. I told him he just has to be who you are and we'll surround you and Pau (Gasol), as well, and myself. It was good."

It could be a turning point for the Lakers, who were being called the second-best team in L.A.

While the Lakers traveled, the short-handed Bucks played at Chicago on Friday. Center Andrew Bogut is out eight to 12 weeks with a fractured ankle he suffered Wednesday in a win at Houston.

The Bucks are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games playing on zero days’ rest.

Pick: Lakers


Sacramento Kings at Utah Jazz (NA)

In their 122-93 home loss to Denver on Wednesday, the Kings did not exactly protect the paint. The Nuggets scored 92 points in the paint, leaving Sacramento coach Keith Smart at a loss.

“We didn't have any resistance in the paint," Smart said. “We just got broken down too many times. Contain the ball in front of you. When you can't contain the ball you're going to give opportunities to a good team that can get into the paint and finish around the basket."

Guard Marcus Thornton remains sidelined with a significant hematoma in his left thigh.

The Jazz played in Dallas on Friday, carrying an 8-3 ATS streak into that game.

Sacramento is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games against winning teams, and 1-5 ATS in its last six road games. Utah is 8-3 ATS at home.

Pick: Jazz
