Here at Sports Betting Online, we would like to offer something special to our players, weekly free picks for the days best NBA matchups. With the NBA in full swing, I'm here to offer you some great picks a couple times a week.

I'm Joe Franklin, I've been betting sports for over 10 years and I have been a profitable NBA bettor for as long as I can remember. I use many factors when deciding which teams to back each day.

The most important aspect of NBA Betting is keeping up the latest injuries, often times injuries at not known until closer to tip off and a big injury can send the line in another direction.

I also, do my homework. The NBA is my life during the regular season as I am watching games or researching picks. I read local reports from writers all across the country and I am up to date on the latest happens.

I understand the team chemistry and the frenetic pace of this years lockout shortened season. Teams are tired and vulnerable more often, keeping track of team chemistry and fatigue are essential. In addition, I'll be posting the best line I can find along with my picks to give our readers, a great bet and a good price! How it works:

A couple times a week I will post a few plays for that nights NBA action, depending on how much a like a certain play, I will bet a set number of units.

I don't like to differentiate too much from the amount I bet, so my selections will usually only be for 1 or 2 units per play. A unit is your standard bet amount for your bankroll, be sure to follow a bankroll strategy that works for you, this usually only risking 2% to 5% of your bankroll on any given day.

I'll post the plays at least a few hours before game time and recommend a reputable sportsbook with the best line. In addition to that, I'll post my win/loss record and my net units for the season. If you would like a feed of my latest picks, feel free to follow @SBOpicks on Twitter.

Thanks!
