20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz

Bet the Jazz (-4) as a short home favorite against the Blazers in Wednesday's NBA action. Utah is rolling right now and the books have been slow to adjust the market on them. Jazz have covered 6 straight. Portland is the exact opposite. Blazers have lost 6 straight, going just 1-5 ATS during this run. Play the Jazz -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mavs

Bet the Mavs (+2.5) as a home dog against the Warriors in Wednesday's NBA action. Golden State just continues to be overvalued away from home. The Warriors are just 8-29 SU in road games this season. Doncic is going to be returning from that thigh injury any day. He was questionable to play on Monday as well. Mavs are 22-14 at home this season and have played much better in their last 3 games. play Dallas +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans

Bet the Pelicans (-9.5) as a big home favorite against the Spurs. Spurs have covered 4 of their last 6 games, but all of those were at home. San Antonio is just 6-28 in road games this season, where they are losing by an average of 13.5 ppg. You also got to look at just who the Spurs will have on the floor. They got a laundry list of guys not playing in this game. Pelicans are still waiting on Zion's return, but other than that are pretty healthy. Play New Orleans -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors

Bet the Warriors (-9.5) as a big road favorite against the Rockets in Monday's NBA action. I like Golden State to bounce back here and put an end to their 3-game losing streak against a bad Houston team. Rockets have won 3 of their last 4, which I believe has people thinking they can cover this big number. I just feel that if the Warriors want to win this game, they can, and they can pretty much name the score. Play Golden State -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers

Bet the Clippers (-6.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Magic in Saturday's NBA action. LA is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games. Covering in each of their last 3. Orlando is just 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games. Even with Kawhi sitting this game out, I like the Clippers to make easy work of the Magic this afternoon. Play the Clippers -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies

Bet the Grizzlies (-7) as a decently priced road favorite against the Spurs. Memphis may appear to be a mess with Ja Morant suspended, but there's a lot more talent than just Morant on this Grizzlies roster. Memphis is 6-4 over their last 4 games with the 4 losses all coming on the road to the likes of the Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers and Heat. Spurs simply aren't trying to win games and more times than not when they lose, they lose big. Look for Memphis to make easy work of them tonight. Play the Grizzlies -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic

Bet the Magic (-5) as a road favorite against the Spurs. You might be thinking, how can you lay this many points on the road with an Orlando team that comes in with a 28-40 record. San Antonio is simply that bad. The Spurs have ZERO interest in winning games. They are just 12-48 since starting the season 5-2 and there's no signs of it getting any better down the stretch run. Magic are a talented young team that will be playing with some confidence after Saturday's double-digit win at home over the Heat. Play the Magic -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics vs Rockets under

Bet the UNDER (229.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Rockets and Celtics. With Houston not figuring to be able to a whole lot on the offensive side of the ball and this more than likely turning into a blowout (Boston is a 13-pt favorite), I just don't see these two teams reach 230 points. Average score in Celtics road games this season is just 227.6 and the average score in Rockets home games is 225.3. Play the UNDER 229.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pistons

Bet the Pistons (+3.5) as a small home dog against the Pacers in Monday's NBA action. Nice revenge spot here for the Pistons These two teams played in Detroit on Saturday with the Pacers sneaking out a 121-115 win. Really tough to beat the same team in back-to-back games, especially on the road, even against a bad team like the Pistons. Play Detroit +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets

Bet the Nets (+9) as a big road dog against the Nuggets in Sunday's NBA action. Denver is being way overpriced in this one. Brooklyn may not have the star power they did a few weeks ago, but they are not as depleted as the market suggests. There's proof in that with Brooklyn's 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS marks over their last 5 games. Denver gets the win, but look for the Nets to keep this respectable. Play the Nets +9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs

Bet the Cavs (-1.5) as a slim road favorite against the Heat in Wednesday's NBA action. Cleveland has gone 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS over their last 4 games. When healthy, this Cavs team is really good. Heat are coming off back-to-back home wins over the Hawks, but both games were tightly contested and Atlanta is an awful road team. Prior to those two wins, Miami had lost 6 of 7. They are still without Kyle Lowry and Kevin Love is questionable. Play the Cavs -1.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons

Bet the Pistons (+7) as a decently priced home dog against the Blazers. Detroit has lost 7 in a row and 10 of their last 11 overall. They still should not be catching this many points at home against Portland. The Blazers are coming off a win, but that was a 3-point win against the Magic. They are just 4-8 in their last 12. The other 3 wins all coming at home. Portland is just 8-22 in road games this season. Play the Pistons +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers

Bet the Clippers (-6.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Grizzlies in Sunday's NBA action. Easy play on LA in this one. Memphis will be playing this game extremely shorthanded. Not only is Ja Morant out for this game, Dillon Brooks is serving a suspension and they just recently lost Brandon Clarke, one of their better reserves, to a season ending Achilles injury. Sometimes teams might overlook an opponent playing this shorthanded, but I don't see LA not showing up for this one. Clippers have lost 5 straight since returning from the All-Star break. This is not a game they can afford to lose. Play the Clippers -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls

Bet the Bulls (+6) as a decently priced home dog against the Suns. Durant has returned from injury. Phoenix was able to win and cover in his debut, beating the Hornets 105-91 as a 10.5-point favorite. As good as Durant is, it's going to take some time for these guys to get comfortable playing together. Chicago is definitely going to be ready to give this their best effort. Bulls have won 3 of 4 since the All-Star break and they just look like a more locked in team on both sides since they added Patrick Beverley. This is a game they can win outright. Play Chicago +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Grizzlies under

Bet the UNDER (236.5) in Tuesday's NBA action between the Lakers and Grizzlies. This to me is just too high of a total given who LA is going to be without for this game. LeBron James is out with an ankle injury and D'Angelo Russell is doubtful. Not only does LeBron score a lot for this team (29.5 ppg), he averages 6.9 assists/game. I don't see their offense doing near enough for this game to get into the 240s, especially with how much LA has improved defensively since making all those trades. Play the UNDER 236.5

20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans

Bet the Pelicans (-3.5) as a short home favorite against the Magic. Perfect buy-low spot on New Orleans, who has got embarrassed in each of their two games since the All-Star break. It started with a 15-point loss at Toronto and then it was a 22-point loss at New York. Both were on the road. I have to expect the Pelicans will be extremely motivated to get back on track. Orlando has some nice young pieces, but this is not a very good basketball TEAM. Play New Orleans -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers

Bet the Clippers (-5.5) as a home favorite against the Kings in Friday's NBA action. Sacramento looked impressive in last night's 133-116 win over the Blazers, but Portland isn't exactly playing great basketball or close to full strength. I look for the Kings to have a hard time replicating that success on the road in the 2nd of a back-to-back against a Clippers team that will excited to show off their new-look roster that now includes Russell Westbrook. Play the Clippers -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Lakers

Bet the Lakers (-4.5) as a slimish home favorite against the Warriors in Thursday's NBA action. I really like what LA has done at the tradedealine. I don't think it's crazy they can go on a big run down the stretch and make the playoffs. Not with LeBron involved in the equation. Especially with how well he's playing. This new-look roster is so much better than what it was before. Warriors are still without Steph Curry. While they have played well without him and will certainly be motivated to play well in this game, I don't think it will be enough for them to have any real shot of winning this game. Play the Lakers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors

Bet the Raptors (-5.5) as a home favorite against the New Orleans Pelicans. I like Toronto to come out sharp at home in the first game back from the All-Star break. Raptors went into the break playing extremely well. Toronto has won 5 of their last 6 games and are as close to full strength as they have been in a while. Pelicans just aren't the same team without Zion on the floor and until he gets back, they will likely continue to be good fade material. New Orleans is just 8-15-1 (34.8%) ATS in their last 24 games. They are also 2-11 ATS on the season as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Play the Raptors -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards

Bet the Wizards (+3.5) as a small road dog against the Timberwolves in Thursday's NBA action. Washington has quietly been playing some pretty good basketball of late. Wizards had a 3-game losing streak to start Feb., but even with that bad stretch are 9-4 SU and 9-4 ATS over their last 13 games. Minnesota has been wildly inconsistent of late. They haven't won or lost back-to-back games in almost 2 weeks. They are off a win. They also just finished up a 4-game road trip and this is the last game before the break. Easy for them to just coast into All-Star weekend. Washington is already on the road, having played their last two at Golden State and Portland. Might as well finish up the trip strong. Play the Wizards +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs

Bet the Spurs (+6.5) as a decently price road dog against the Hornets. I get San Antonio has been really bad of late. They have lost 13 straight and are 1-18 over their last 19 games. Thing is, Charlotte is just not a team that should be laying this kind of number, especially with this being the Hornets last game before the All-Star break. Guys could easily check out and be looking ahead to their week off. I'll put my trust in Popovic having his guys ready to play. Play the Spurs +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors

Bet the Warriors (+8.5) as a big road dog against the Clippers. Golden State is being way undervalued in the 2nd game of a back-to-back without Curry. Even if some other guys sit this game out, those that do play are going to play hard. Clippers will be introducing two new pieces in Bones Hyland and Eric Gordon, which messes with their chemistry. Too many points. Play the Warriors +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder

Bet the Thunder (-1) as a small home favorite against the Pelicans in Monday's NBA action. OKC not getting near enough respect here at home. Thunder are 16-11 at home this season. Pelicans are 9-18 on the road. Pelicans have looked better since getting back Ingram, but Zion is still out and now McCollum is showing up on the injury report (questionable) with an ankle injury. Play OKC -1! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets vs 76ers under

Bet the UNDER (228.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Rockets and 76ers. Houston is not a great offensive team and the 76ers have really been playing sound defense of late. Philly is only giving up 109 ppg over their last 5. I also think this could end up being quite the blowout, which often leads to lower scoring games, as teams call off the dogs and aren't fouling every other play in the final minutes. Play the UNDER 228.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz

Bet the Jazz (+3) as a small road dog against the Pacers on Monday. Indiana just isn't playing good basketball right now. Pacers are 2-15 over their last 17 games. They could be without Tyrese Haliburton for this game, who is easily their best player. Myles Turner is also questionable. Utah has lost 4 of their last 5, but I still think this is a sneaky good team. I think they get a much-needed road win tonight. Play the Jazz +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons

Bet the Pistons (+10.5) as a double-digit road dog against the Raptors in Sunday's NBA action. I just feel like the market is way too high on Toronto right now. The Raptors are being priced like they are one of the best teams in the league, yet come into this game a mere 6-7 over their last 13 games. Most recently losing 116-122 as a 8.5-point home favorite against the Jazz. The game before they covered by just 4-points in a 14-point win over the Spurs as a 10-point favorite. Detroit is bad, but they aren't as bad as San Antonio. In fact, they just beat the Spurs 138-131 in their last game. Toronto wins, but Detroit keeps it respectable. Play the Pistons +10.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz

Bet the Jazz (+8) as a big road dog against the Raptors. Just too good a price to pass up with on Utah. Jazz are being undervalued having lost their last 3 games. Toronto is being overvalued having won their last 3. Two of those wins were against bottom feeders Houston and San Antonio. The other was a 3-point win at Memphis against a Grizzlies team that didn't have Morant or Brooks. They were 3-6 in their previous 9 games. No way should they be laying close to double-digits. Play the Jazz +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks

Bet the Knicks (+6) as a decently priced road dog against the 76ers in Friday's NBA action. Most will assume the 76ers will get their revenge from Sunday's 97-108 loss in the Big Apple, but I believe that's being baked into the price, creating value on the Knicks. NY has covered 3 of their last 4 trips to Philly and are 33-19 ATS last 52 on the road after a win. 76ers could also be without Embiid, who is questionable with a foot injury. Play the Knicks +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat

Bet the Heat (-6) as a decently priced home favorite against the Pacers in Wednesday's NBA action. Miami is in a prime spot here to play well. Heat are going to be motivated after losing their last two on the road to the Knicks and Bucks. They have a full 3 days off before this game, which should allow them to get back some key guys from injury. Pacers are also a team that is struggling to get back on track. They just lost by 19 at home to the Cavs. I just don't think Indiana will be able to get enough stops defensively too keep this game close. Play the Heat -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies

Bet Memphis (-7.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Bulls in Tuesday's NBA action. Memphis just lost 103-106 at home to the Raptors. That's 3 straight losses for the Grizzlies, who are just 1-8 SU in their last 9. This might seem like a big number for them to be laying against a Bulls team that has won 3 straight. I just feel like Memphis is back healthy and will be itching to get back in the win column. As for Chicago, they will be playing in the second of a back-to-back and 3rd game in 4 nights. I also think there's a few Bulls' players who aren't fully locked in with their name circling around in trade rumors. Either way, I like Memphis to win here by double-digits. Play the Grizzlies -7.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings vs Pelicans under

Bet the UNDER (232) in Sunday's NBA action between the Kings and Pelicans. Kings were an offensive juggernaut to start this season and were night in and night out playing in shootouts. That's not been the case of late. Kings are only scoring 109.2 ppg in their last 5 (season average is 119.2). They are also playing better defense. They are giving up 116 ppg on the season and just 111.4 ppg in their last 5. UNDER has cashed in each of their last 6 games and is 8-1 over their last 9. Play the UNDER 232! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs

Bet the Cavs (-4.5) as a small road dog against the Pacers. Cleveland has really been on their game in division matchups this year. They are 8-3 against the other Central teams this season. They are clearly the better team in this matchup. Pacers have recently gotten back Haliburton, but he wasn't nearly as good in the second game back as he was in the first. I think he could have some tired legs in what will be their 3rd game in 4 days. It's also not like Indiana is playing great right now. They are just 2-11 SU in their last 13 games. Play the Cavs -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Knicks under

Bet the UNDER (238) in Tuesday's NBA action between the Knicks and Lakers. There's going to be plenty of offense with how these two teams struggle defensively, but I just feel that the total here has been inflated to the point that there's now value on the UNDER. Knicks will be playing on 2 days of rest and that's key, as the UNDER has gone an impressive 17-4 in New York home games when they are playing on 2 days or more of rest the last 3 seasons. UNDER is also 5-1 in the Lakers last 6 off a SU loss, 8-3 in their last 11 overall and 7-3 in their last 10 vs a team with a winning record. Play the UNDER 238! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards

Bet the Wizards (-5.5) as a small road favorite against the Spurs in Monday's NBA action. Washington is riding a 5-game winning streak, where they have covered the spread in all 5 games. This hot stretch has coincided with the Wizards getting healthy. I just don't feel they are being priced right here against a bad Spurs team that has lost 5 straight and 10 of their last 11. Of those 11 losses, 8 have come by more than 5 points, with the majority being blowouts. Just too low a number to pass up a play on San Antonio. Play the Spurs -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors

Bet the Warriors (-3.5) as a small road favorite against the Thunder in Monday's NBA action. Golden State has had their struggles on the road this year. Warriors are just 6-18 SU and 8-16 ATS away from home this season. I just feel that's being factored a little too much into this line. Some of that is the respect that OKC has gained over the last couple of weeks. Thunder are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games, going 8-3 SU during this run. Just feel like the Luguentz Dort loss is going to be a factor here tonight. Play the Warriors -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat

Bet the Heat (-5.5) as a short road favorite against the Hornets in Sunday's NBA action. Miami has been playing much better basketball in the 2nd half of the season. Heat are riding a 3-game winning streak and going back to the day after Christmas are 12-5 SU. Charlotte is off a win over the Bulls, but this is a team that can't get anything going consistently in the right direction. Hornets are just 9-18 ATS as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season and 7-15 ATS in home games. Miami should have no problem covering the number here. Play the Heat -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets

Bet the Hornets (+8) as a big road dog against the Jazz in Monday's NBA action. I like the price with Charlotte in this one. Hornets come in off back to back road wins and covers. They beat the Rockets 122-117 as a 2.5-point favorite and the Hawks 122-118 as a 7.5-point dog. Utah had won 4 of 5, before a 106-117 loss at home to Brooklyn. Jazz have failed to cover in 20 of their last 53 against a team with a losing record and are just 7-15 ATS as a favorite this season. Play the Hornets +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets vs Spurs under

Bet the UNDER (235) in Tuesday's NBA action between the Spurs and Nets. This to me is just too high a total with Kevin Durant sidelined for Brooklyn. The Nets have scored fewer than 110 points in each of their last 4 games and in the first two games without Durant they managed just 98 at home vs the Celtics and 102 at home vs OKC. I know the Spurs defense is maybe the worst in the league, but Brooklyn could score 120 in this game and these two still could struggle to get to 235. Nets are a good defensive team. They have held 7 of their last 8 opponents to 112 or fewer points. I think this total is a good 5-7 points too high. Play the UNDER 235! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers

Bet the Blazers (-1.5) as a small home favorite against the Mavs in Saturday's NBA action. This is a play against Dallas coming off of Thursday's 2OT win against the Lakers. You could see the fatigue set in for both of those teams in the second OT period. Mavs did get yesterday off, but I don't think that's enough time to recover, not with them in the middle of a road trip. Dallas will be playing their 4th straight on the road. They also got to think about limiting minutes with these two teams set to turn around and play each other again on Sunday. Blazers have been painfully close to getting this thing back on track. This couldn't be a better spot for them to get the ball rolling. Play the Blazers -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors

Bet the Warriors (-8) as a big road favorite against the Spurs in Friday's NBA action. I like Golden State to make easy work of San Antonio in this one. Warriors should be highly motivated to play well after losing their last 3, all as home favorites of 6.5 or more. You might be thinking, how do we trust this team on the road laying this kind of number? That's just how much of an advantage they have on this Spurs team, especially with Golden State being fresh having the last two days off. Play the Warriors -8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers

Bet the Pacers (+3) as a small home dog against the Hawks in Friday's NBA action. Indiana has been hit hard with the injury bug coming into this game. Arguably their best player, Tyrese Haliburton is out at least a couple of weeks. Myles Turner, Aaron Nesmith and Oshae Brissett are all questionable to play. I still think this Pacers team has enough talent to win at home against a Hawks team that isn't exactly lighting it up. Atlanta is just 2-6 SU in their last 8 games and a mere 8-13 SU on the road this season. Pacers are 15-7 SU at home this year. Indiana scores 118.5 ppg at home and Hawks allow 118.9 ppg on the road. Play Indiana +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs -3 -110

Bet the Cavs (-3) as a slim road favorite against the Jazz in Tuesday's NBA action. This to me is just too good a price to pass up on with Cleveland. Cavs come in having won 4 of their last 5 with the only loss coming at Denver. Utah on the other hand is in a complete free-fall after their strong start to the season. Jazz are just 3-9 SU over their last 12 games. Utah will have the homecourt edge, but will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, as they were at Chicago on Saturday and then at Memphis on Sunday. Cavs are one of the best defensive teams in the league. Utah has given up 114 or more points in 6 straight and 110 or more in 13 straight. Play the Cavs -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +4½ -110

Bet the Thunder (+4.5) as a small road dog against the Heat in Tuesday's NBA action. Just when it feels like Miami is starting to get this thing turned around, the injury bug comes back to bite them. Kyle Lowry has been ruled out for this game with a knee injury and Duncan Robinson is out with a finger injury. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro are both listed as questionable. Heat are just 6-13 ATS at home this season and 4-12 ATS last 16 as a home favorite. OKC is 20-10 ATS as a dog this season, 18-6 ATS last 2 seasons in road non-conference games and 8-0 ATS last 8 when revenging a loss by 3-points or less (lost 108-110 at home to Miami back on Dec. 14). Play OKC +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +9½ -115

Bet the Lakers (+9.5) as a big road dog against the Nuggets in Monday's NBA action. LA is playing to well right now to be catching close to double-digits. Lakers have won and covered each of their last 5 games. All 5 of those coming as underdogs, with 3 of those as dogs of 6.5 or more. Nuggets won the first meeting in the series, but LA has came back and won the last two by double-digits. Denver comes in off two big wins and covers at home vs the Clippers and Cavs, but are just 2-13 ATS over the last 3 seasons off back-to-back wins by 10 or more. Play the Lakers +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -4 -105

Bet the Clippers (-4) as a small home favorite against the Hawks in Sunday's NBA action. This to me is a good spot to jump on LA, despite the fact that they come in having lost 5 straight. Clippers should have all their key guys on the floor for this one and their rough stretch can be attributed more to playing 4 of their last 5 games on the road. Atlanta has lost 5 of their last 6 and have to be a little worn down going into this one with it being their 4th straight on the road on the west coast. Atlanta is just 8-19 ATS last 27 on the road after playing each of their previous two games on the road and just 12-27 as a road dog over the last 2 seasons. Play the Clippers -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +9 -110

Bet the Lakers (+9) as a 9-point road dog against the Kings in Saturday's NBA action. I get LA is playing on no rest on the road, but it's not like it was a long trip to Sacramento. Lakers clearly seem to be motivated to make a run for a playoff spot as they have won 4 straight. Books have been slow to adjust, as the Lakers are 4-0 ATS during this win streak. Just last night they were a 3-point dog at home against the Hawks and won the game 130-114. No way should be getting anything close to double-digits. Play the Lakers +9! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans +4½ -110

Bet the Pelicans (+4.5) as a small home dog against the Nets in Friday's NBA action. Brooklyn just lost at Chicago in a very similar spot, losing 112-121 as a 5-point road favorite. This might seem like a short number for Brooklyn to be laying given they had won 12 straight prior to the loss to the Bulls and New Orleans is without two of their best players in Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Pelicans are a deeper team than they get credit for and I think playing at home will give them enough of a boost to win this game outright. Always tough to bounce back from a loss after a long winning streak and there's some regression coming for Brooklyn. Play the Pelicans +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -3 -106

Bet the Raptors (-3) as a small home favorite against the Knicks in Friday's NBA action. Good time to buy low on Toronto, who is just 3-10 over their last 13 games and sell-high on the Knicks, who have won 3 straight. Raptors struggles have come as a result of an absolutely loaded schedule. Quite possibly the toughest stretch of games they will have bunched together all season. This team is hungry for a win. Knicks 3-game win streak have come against the Spurs, a struggling Suns team and the Rockets. Prior to that New York had lost 5 straight and are playing without one of their best players in Barrett. Play the Raptors -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers vs Pacers over 231½ -110

Bet the OVER (231.5) in Friday's NBA action between the Pacers and Blazers. No need to overthink this one. Indiana is a big time OVER team right now. Pacers are lighting it up offensively, scoring 128.6 ppg over their last 5. Indiana is a much deeper team than people give them credit for. The scoring does not dip when the reserves come in. Pacers are also very bad defensively, allowing 122.6 ppg in their last 5. This is a Blazers team than can go score for score with a team like Indiana. Play the OVER 231.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -6½ -115

Bet the Grizzlies (+6.5) as a decently priced road favorite against the Hornets in Wednesday's NBA action. Memphis is rolling into this matchup against a struggling Charlotte team and I don't see them having any problem winning and covering this number. Grizzlies are 11-4 SU and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games. Hornets are just 3-13 SU in their last 16 games and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 (1-4 ATS L5). Hornets just don't play enough defense to contain Morant and this Grizzlies offense and Memphis is too good defensively for them to keep pace. Play the Grizzlies -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +8½ -115

Bet the Wizards (+8.5) as a big road dog against the Bucks in Tuesday's NBA action. Washington is rolling coming into this game. The Wizards have won 5 in a row and have gone 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. They won in Milwaukee Sunday 118-95. Sure they did so with Milwaukee missing some key pieces, but they were a 2.5-point dog in that game. Bucks are just 1-5 SU and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. I just feel that Washington is playing too well to be getting this many points, even on the road against a team playing with revenge. Bet the Wizards +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +3 -110

Bet the Raptors (+3) as a short road dog against the Pacers in Monday's NBA action. Toronto snapped a 2-game skid with a 113-104 win at home over Phoenix on Friday. Raptors have now covered 4 of their last 6 and I like them to carry over that momentum with a win here. Pacers have won and covered 5 of their last 6, but were a dog in all of those games. I just think Indiana has caught some teams overlooking them and they are too good of a team to not take seriously. Toronto won't be overlooking them, as they need to keep this going with a 16-20 record overall. Books are begging you to take Indiana in this one. We will go the other way. Play the Raptors +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers +2½ -110

Bet the 76ers (+2.5) as a small road dog against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. Philly did lose last time out at Washington, but overall this team is playing some of its best basketball of the season right now. 76ers are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games having gone 7-2 ATS during this stretch. New Orleans does bring a 4-game winning streak into this matchup, but it's come against a soft schedule with wins over the Spurs, Thunder, Pacers and Timberwolves. Pelicans had lost 4 straight prior to this run. The line here also screams to take the Pelicans as a short home favorite, which only makes me like Philly that much more. Play the 76ers +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +7½ -115

Bet the Timberwolves (+7.5) as a decently priced road dog against the Pelicans in Wednesday's NBA action. With Minnesota having lost 3 in a row and New Orleans on a 3-game winning streak, I believe we are seeing an inflated line on the Pelicans in this one. While Zion is expected to be on the floor, he's likely going to be on a minutes restriction as he works himself back in shape. New Orleans is still without Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones is listed as questionable. Despite the losses racking up, Minnesota has continued to shoot the ball well, hitting 47% or better from the field in each of their last 6 games. Hard to put away a team by this many points when they put the ball in the basket roughly 50% of the time. Play the Timberwolves +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +4½ -110

Bet the Lakers (+4.5) as a short road dog against the Magic in Tuesday's NBA action. Most are going to want to be Orlando in this matchup. LA has lost 4 straight and failed to cover 5 in a row, while the Magic have won 8 of 9 and covered 10 straight. As good as Orlando has been playing, they should not be laying this many points against a hungry Lakers team. Magic are just 12-29 (29.3%) ATS over the last 3 seasons in home games when playing a team with a losing record. Bet the Lakers +4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6 -110

Bet the Hornets (+6) as a decently priced road dog against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. Charlotte is a team that should be showing quite a bit of value right now. Hornets are just 9-24 on the season, but have played the majority of those 33 games with at least one of their top players sidelined. They are as healthy as they have been in a while with the only real significant contributor out being backup point guard Dennis Smith Jr. Doesn't hurt they are facing a Blazers team that has lost 3 in a row and 4 of 5 overall. Play the Hornets +6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks +4½ -110

Bet the Bucks (+4.5) as a short road dog against the Celtics on Sunday. Most are going to want to lay the short number with Boston in this one, but I like the points with Milwaukee. Bucks have had this game circled on the calendar for quite some time. It's their first shot at Boston since losing to them in the playoffs last year. Defensively I think Milwaukee has what it takes to slow down this Boston offense and this feels like a good time for the Bucks to catch the Celtics, given that Boston is just 2-5 SU over their last 7 games (1-5-1 ATS). Play Milwaukee +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -1½ -110

Bet the 76ers (-1.5) as a slim road favorite against the Knicks on Sunday. Philadelphia comes into this game having won 7 straight and are 6-1 ATS during this run. New York is 8-2 in their last 10, but have dropped each of their last two games. Both at home. The defensive effort just hasn't been there in the last two games. They forced a mere 4 turnovers in each of their last two games, which to me comes down to effort. In this game, I don't think they are going to have an answer for Embiid inside. I expect a monster game from Embiid, who seems to save his best for the big stage and there's not many bigger than Christmas Day at MSG. Just feel like the Knicks are getting a little too much respect in this one. Play the 76ers -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns +3 -110

Bet the Suns (+3) as a small home dog against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. Phoenix will be playing this game without Devin Booker, but even with him sidelined I don't think they should be a dog in this fight. Memphis will be playing their 3rd straight road game and have lost the first 2 games on their 4-game trip, falling 109-115 at OKC and 91-105 at Denver. Suns have covered 23 of their last 35 with a line of +3 to -3 and are 31-14 ATS in their last 45 off an upset loss as a favorite. Play Phoenix +3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +7½ -115

Bet the Spurs (+7.5) as a decently priced road dog against the Magic in Friday's NBA action. I just think San Antonio this is too many points for a team like Orlando to be laying against any team in the league. Yes the Magic come in having won 7 of their last 8 and have covered 9 in a row, but only once during this stretch were they favored to win the game and that was by a mere 1-point in their last game at Houston. It's a lot harder for a bad team like the Magic to switch roles from the underdog to the big favorite and with a much-needed 3-day break after this game, I think we could see Orlando come out flat in this one. Play the Spurs +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +10 -110

Bet the Hornets (+10) as a double-digit road dog against the Kings in Monday's NBA action. Charlotte made headlines yesterday, giving up 40 points, 27 rebounds and 10 assists to Jokic. One of the greatest statlines ever seen with a triple-double. I just think it has Charlotte a bit undervalued here against the Kings. What people overlook is the fact that the Hornets only lost by a final of 115-119 with Jokic's historic performance. Hornets have quietly gotten healthier of late and should start being more competitive. Play Charlotte +10! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -9½ -110

Bet the Celtics (-9.5) as a big home favorite against the Magic in Sunday's NBA action. These two teams played each other in Boston on Friday and Orlando won that game 117-109 as a 13.5-point road dog. It was a big flat spot for the Celtics, who had just finished up a grueling 6-game road trip a couple days earlier. Look for Boston to bounce back in a big way and have their way with the Magic in the rematch. Bet the Celtics -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Cavs under 224 -110

Bet the UNDER (224) in Friday's NBA action between the Pacers and Cavs. Cleveland comes into this game off a dominant defensive showing in Wednesday's 105-90 win at Dallas. I expect another great effort on that side at home against Indiana. The average score in Cleveland home games this season is just 217.2 points/game. Largely due to the Cavs defense, which is giving up just 103.4 ppg at home. UNDER is 12-2 in Cleveland's last 14 home games after allowing 100 points or less in their last game and 8-1 in their last 9 after a game with a combined score of 205 or less. Play the UNDER 224! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets -1½ +100

Bet the Hornets (-1.5) as a small home favorite against the Hawks in Friday's NBA action. Atlanta is just not playing good basketball right now. The Hawks come into this game having lost 5 of their last 6 with the only win coming by a mere 1-point at home against the Bulls. It doesn't help matters that the Hawks are playing right now without one of their best players in Dejounte Murray. The fact that a Hornets team that has lost 6 games is favored in this one says it all. Play Charlotte -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +4½ -105

Bet the Rockets (+4.5) as a small home dog against the Heat in Thursday's NBA action. Miami doesn't deserve to be this big of a road favorite with how they have been playing. Heat have won their last 2 games, but one was a 87-82 win at Indiana and the other was a 110-108 win at OKC. Houston is playing with confidence right now. The Rockets have their last two, beating the Bucks and Suns at home. Houston has won 5 straight at home overall. The last loss being a 120-127 setback against the Warriors on 11/20. Play the Rockets +4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +3 -110

Bet the Thunder (+3) as a small home dog against the Heat in Wednesday's NBA action. Miami has been one of the more overrated teams in the league to start the season. Heat are just 13-15 SU and 9-18 ATS. OKC is just 11-16 SU, but are 16-11 ATS. Thunder come in having covered 5 of their last 7, while the Heat have failed to cover 4 of their last 5. Miami is just 5-13 ATS as a favorite this season and 2-10 ATS off a SU win. Play the Thunder +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -4½ -115

Bet the Raptors (-4.5) as a home favorite against the Kings in Wednesday's NBA action. Sacramento just lost by 20-points at the 76ers last night. Kings are going to be playing on no rest, as they continue on their 6-game road trip. It will be the 3rd road game in 4 nights for Sacramento, who is just 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS over their last 4 games. Toronto is coming in off an ugly 99-111 loss at Orlando on Sunday, which came two days after losing 109-113 at Orlando. I believe it's created value with the Raptors as they return home. Toronto is 13-3 ATS last 16 at home off an upset loss as a favorite, winning in this spot by over 10 ppg. Play the Raptors -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +5½ -110

Bet the Kings (+5.5) as a decently priced road dog against the 76ers in Tuesday's NBA action. Love the value here with Sacramento. Philly is getting a ton of love due to the big numbers that Embiid is putting up, but let's not overreact to a couple huge offensive showings against the Lakers and Hornets. Prior to beating those two teams, they had lost 3 straight, falling by 28 at Cleveland, by 8 at Memphis and by 10 at Houston. Kings are coming off a 99-112 loss at New York, which was their worst offensive showing of the season. Prior to that Sacramento had gone 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS. There's also a good chance they get back star point guard De'Aaron Fox from injury in this one. Play the Kings +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves vs Blazers under 233½ -105

Bet the UNDER (233.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Wolves and Blazers. UNDER is hitting at 65% (80-43) since 1996 in games where you have a total of 230 or more in a matchup of two division opponents and a team (Blazers) is coming off a home win scoring 110 or more. Other big thing is this being a rematch between these two teams, as they just played in Portland on Saturday. That game saw 242 points, but it took both teams shooting well over 50% from the field. Expect some regression, as these two defenses will be much better prepared. Play the UNDER 233.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Cavs vs Spurs under 223½ -110

Bet the UNDER (223.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Cavaliers and Spurs. Not really a lot to think about here, as the books just have had not been able to set a good number on the total in Cleveland games. The UNDER has cashed in 8 straight games for the Cavs and 11 of their last 12 overall. I have a hard time seeing this getting into the 220s with the Spurs figuring to struggle to hit 100 points. SA is averaging just 107.6 ppg in their last 5 and will be facing a Cleveland defense that is only giving up 99.6 ppg in their last 5. Play the UNDER 223.5!
