20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves -1½ -110

The Timberwolves (-1.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Celtics. There's zero motivation here for Boston, who is locked into the No. 7 seed. All the Celtics focus is on getting their key guys rested up for the play-in tournament next week. T-Wolves should be a much bigger favorite here. Play Minnesota -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -9½ -110

The Nuggets (-9.5) are worth a look here as a big road favorite against the Pistons in Friday's NBA action. Denver is the only team with something to play for here, as they are just 1-game back of the Clippers for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. Pistons are way out of it. Detroit is 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games, having lost and failed to cover each of their last 3. Play the Nuggets -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +7 -110

The Wizards(+7) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Hawks in Wednesday's NBA action. Washington may be without Beal, but they didn't have him on Monday when they covered easy as a 8-point dog in a mere 1-point loss to these same Hawks. I not only think the Wizards cover, but I think they win this one outright. Play Washington +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +5½ -110

The Bulls (+5.5) are worth a look here as a relatively small home dog against the Nets in Tuesday's NBA action. Betting public is going to be all over Brooklyn in this one, but I see the value being with Chicago. The Bulls are fighting for their playoff lives and playing with some serious confidence. Chicago has won and covered each of their last 3 games, winning all 3 by double-digits. Nets are the better team, but it just feels like Brooklyn is looking ahead to the postseason and not all that interested in these last few games. Play the Bulls +5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -6 -110

The Pacers (-6) are worth a look as a modest road favorite against the Cavs. Indiana has had their struggles in the 2nd Half, but this is not only a mismatch in talent but also motivation. Pacers are clinging on to the 10th and final spot in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland threw in the towel on this season a long time ago and have shown no interest in competing down the stretch. Indiana should roll to a double-digit win here. Play the Pacers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -6½ -110

The Hawks (-6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home favorite against the Wizards. Washington has been on an incredible run, but this looks like an awful spot for Washington. The Wizards will not only be playing this one without Bradley Beal, this will be their 4th road game in 6 days. Atlanta on the other hand is as fresh as any team off a full 3 days of rest. Hawks still have plenty to play for, as they fight for the No. 4 seed. Play the Hawks -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings -9½ -110

The Kings (-9.5) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against the Thunder in Sunday's NBA action. Laying a big number like this on a team like the Kings who are out of the playoff picture can be difficult. The thing is, OKC is just that bad. Thunder have scored fewer than 100 points in 5 of their last 6. Kings have allowed under 100 in 3 of their last 4. OKC is also giving up 126.4 ppg over their last 5. Time for the Kings to have some fun and win this game going away. Play Sacramento -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -7½ -110

The Clippers (-7.5) are worth a look as a home favorite against the Lakers in Thursday's NBA action. With LeBron downgraded to out, the Lakers are in a really tough spot here. Not only are they missing LeBron, but Dennis Schroder is also out and Horton-Tucker is questionable. There's plenty of motivation for the Clippers to take advantage of the short-handed Lakers. That's because the Lakers sit tied with the Mavs for 5th place. Clippers are currently 4th. A win could increase the chances that the Clippers won't have to play the Lakers in the 1st round. It also could play a role in moving the Lakers down to No. 7 and into the play-in tournament. Play the Clippers -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -1½ -112

The Suns (-1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on the road against the Hawks. Phoenix might be on no rest after playing an OT game last night at Cleveland, but I think that's been baked into the number. This is still an exceptional price to get the Suns. They are easily the better team and every win is huge to them, as they fight for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Play the Suns -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +2 -110

The Nets (+2) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Nets in Tuesday's NBA action. Brooklyn should be locked in here after two straight losses, including a loss to these same Bucks in Milwaukee on Sunday. A game they just barely loss 114-117, despite only shooting 43% and the Bucks shooting 49%. Nets get their revenge and win this one easy. Play Brooklyn +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -2½ -112

The Grizzlies (-2.5) are worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Knicks in Monday's NBA action. Knicks have been great for weeks now, but I believe it has them overvalued here against a Grizzlies team that has also been on a late season surge. I also think it's a really good spot to back Memphis coming off that ugly loss to Orlando, where they just didn't show up with the right mindset or energy. Grizzlies will be 100% locked in for this one, as they need every win they can get down the stretch to make the playoffs. Play the Grizzlies -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks -8 -110

The Knicks (-8) are worth a look here as a decently priced road favorite against Houston. The Rockets are in a complete free fall, while New York is playing as well as any team in the league right now. I just don't see Houston keeping this one close, as they are on no rest after a game last night against Golden State. Knicks on the other hand have had the last three days off. Play New York -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +2½ -109

The Blazers (+2.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Grizzlies in Wednesday's NBA action. Portland got the monkey off their back, snapping their 5-game losing streak with a 133-112 win at Indiana last night. Most will look to fade the Blazers here on no rest against a good Memphis team, but I see Portland building off that win and taking down the Grizzlies tonight. Play the Blazers +2.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -0½ -110

I'm going to take the Warriors (-0.5) as a slim home favorite against the Mavs in Tuesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up on Golden State at home. Steph Curry has put this team on his back with some of his best basketball of his career. Warriors have won 7 of their last 9 with 4 in a row at home. Mavs just aren't playing great basketball right now. Play the Warriors -0.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +2 -110

The Knicks (+2) are worth a look as a home dog against the Suns in Monday's NBA action. This isn't about New York being the better team, but there's no reason the Knicks should be a dog at home in this spot. Not with how well they are playing right now. Especially not with the Suns being in their 5th straight road game on no rest after playing the Nets last night, which followed 3 huge games at Milwaukee, Philly and Boston. Phoenix has to be running on fumes right now. Play the Knicks +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics vs Hornets under 216½ -109

The UNDER (216.5) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA matchup that has the Celtics visiting the Hornets. I just don't see either team having a lot of energy for this game. Boston just played a back-to-back where they hosted the Suns on Thursday and were at the Nets on Friday. Charlotte has really been lost offensively without Hayward, Monk and Ball. Play the UNDER 216.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +6½ -114

The Celtics (+6.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Suns in Thursday's NBA action. Good spot here to fade the Suns, who have to be running on fumes after a 128-127 win at Milwaukee on Monday and 116-113 win at the 76ers last night. Boston does come in off an ugly home loss to the Bulls, but had won 6 straight prior to that setback. This is just too many points for the Celtics to be catching at home in this spot. Play Boston +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -2 -105

The Warriors (-2) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against the Wizards. Both teams come in playing great, but I just think Golden State is without a doubt the better team and the Warriors are going to want revenge from a recent 107-110 home loss to Washington. Steph Curry is also on fire right now. As long as he's playing like he is, the Warriors should continue to play well. Play the Warriors -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -8½ -110

The Clippers (-8.5) are worth a look as a big home road favorite against the Blazers in Tuesday's NBA action. With LA playing arguably their best basketball of the season right now and Portland playing this game not only without the services of Damian Lillard, but also Jusuf Nurkic, I don't see the Blazers being able to keep this close. Play the Clippers -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +6½ -110

The Grizzlies (+6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced road dog against the Nuggets in Monday's NBA action. I don't know what the Grizzlies have to do to get some respect from the books. Memphis has covered 4 straight and are a ridiculous 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games. Denver has been playing well, but this is just too many points for them to be laying here. Play Memphis +6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Suns +3½ -109

The Suns (+3.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Bucks in Monday's NBA action. Books are begging for you to lay the short number with Milwaukee, especially with Phoenix coming off an ugly 85-111 loss at home to the Spurs as a 12-point favorite. Thing is, that's just one bad game for the Suns, who are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games. Phoenix will be locked back in for this game. Suns are 10-2 ATS last 12 off an upset loss as a favorite and 16-4 in their last 20 off a game they failed to cover. Play Phoenix +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -6 -110

The Nets (-6) are worth a look on the road against the Heat in Sunday's NBA action. These two teams played once already this season and Brooklyn won 98-85 in a defensive battle. With Durant and Irving available for this one, I don't see the Heat putting up much of a fight, especially if Jimmy Butler (Questionable) is unable to play. Miami also comes in not playing great, as they have lost 3 straight, failing to cover all 3. Play the Nets -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -1½ -105

The Blazers (-1.5) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Spurs in Friday's NBA action. I think we are getting a great price here on Portland due to the fact that they come in having lost 4 of 5. I just trust the Blazers to figure this out and it's not like San Antonio is playing great. Spurs are just 2-6 over their last 8 games and just lost outright as a 5-point favorite at Toronto, who was missing several key players. Play the Blazers -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -1½ -105

The Mavs (-1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on the road against the Grizzlies in Wednesday's NBA action. Dallas will be highly motivated here after losing their last two and I think they will have no problem securing a victory against Memphis. Mavs are 18-6 ATS in this spot as a road favorite of 6 or less. They are also 30-18 ATS last 48 on the road with a total of 220 or more more. Play the OVER -1.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat +3½ -100

The Heat (+3.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Suns in Tuesday's NBA action. Miami is playing some of their best basketball of the season right now. The Heat have won two straight and 6 of 7 overall. While Phoenix has been rolling, this is not an ideal spot for them, as they will be on no rest, playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and 5th in the last 7 days. Play the Heat +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +6 -110

The Magic (+6) are worth a look as a home dog against the Spurs in Monday's NBA action. I think we are getting some good value here on Orlando, as they should be highly motivated after getting embarrassed last time out 124-87 at home by the Bucks. On the flip side, San Antonio is primed for a letdown after a hard fought win at Dallas last night. Play the Magic +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls -4½ -105

The Bulls (-4.5) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against the Timberwolves in Sunday's NBA action. Chicago comes in off a loss and failed cover in a 108-120 setback at Atlanta on Friday. That was just a mere hiccup in the road for this Bulls team, which had gone 3-2 SU and 5-0 ATS in their previous 5 games. Minnesota has lost 4 of 5 and have allowed 140+ points in each of their last 2 games. Timberwolves could have a tough time getting up here with their next 3 games against the Nets, Bucks and Heat. Play Chicago -4.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -4½ -105

The Warriors (-4.5) are worth a look as a short home favorite against the Wizards in Friday's NBA action. With Steph Curry back healthy, the Warriors are primed to go on a little run and no better way to start a winning streak than to knock off the Bucks at home in their last game. Washington also comes in off a 131-116 win, but that was against a tanking Magic team. Wizards had lost 4 straight prior to that win. I also think this is a big flat spot for Washington playing their 3rd straight on the road going from two games in Florida against the Raptors and Magic to flying way out west for a game at Golden State. Play the Warriors -4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +2 -109

The Knicks (+2) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. This line screams take Memphis. The Grizzlies come in having won 4 straight and are on a ridiculous 10-1 ATS run. Books clearly don't think Memphis is going to show up with their "A" Game in this one and I agree. This is a tough spot for the Grizzlies in what will be the final stop on their 4-game road trip and a big step down in competition after playing the 76ers, Heat and Hawks the last 3. Knicks are just 1-5 SU in their last 6, but have covered 3 straight. Play New York +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +4½ -100

The Thunder (+4.5) are worth a look here as a short home dog against the Hornets in Wednesday's NBA action. I know it's been rough for OKC of late, but this is a game they could and should win against a depleted Charlotte team that is playing right now without Gordon Hayward, Malik Monk and star rookie LaMelo Ball. In their last game the Hornets lost by 30 on the road to the Celtics. Hard to see a big improvement given the injuries and this being their 5th straight on the road. Play the Thunder +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +4½ -100

The Grizzlies (+4.5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Heat in Tuesday's NBA action. While Miami has won and covered 4 straight, the level of competition during this stretch was not that challenging. Heat were also showing some value in those games as they had previously lost 6 straight. I just think the price here is a little steep for Miami given how well Memphis is playing. The Grizzlies are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games. While they are just 5-3 SU in his stretch, all 3 losses came against the league's best team in the Jazz. Play Memphis +4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings -4 -105

The Kings (-4) are worth a look here as a short home favorite against the Lakers in Friday's NBA action. It's crazy how much respect the Lakers get playing without both LeBron James and Anthony Davis. No surprise that the way overpriced Lakers have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. I think they should be a much bigger dog here against a surging Kings team that has gone 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS over their last 9 games. Play Sacramento -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -6½ -105

The Grizzlies (-6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home favorite against the Timberwolves in Friday's NBA action. Memphis has lost 3 of 4, but all 3 of those defeats came against the Jazz, who own the best record in the league. Those are the Grizzlies only 3 losses in their last 7 games and they are 6-1 ATS during this stretch. Look for Memphis to make easy work here of a bad Minnesota team. Play the Grizzlies -6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +8½ -105

The Lakers (+8.5) are worth a look as a big home dog against the Bucks. The perception here is that LA has no shot against a team like Milwaukee while LeBron and AD are both sidelined. Thing is the Bucks aren't playing that great right now. Milwaukee has lost 3 straight. They are also playing their 4th game in 6 days and second straight on the road. LA will also be getting some reinforcements for this game, as big man Andre Drummond will be making his debut. I don't know if it's enough to win, but I like them to keep it close. Play the Lakers +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +3½ -105

The Timberwolves (+3.5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Knicks in Wednesday's NBA action. I know Minnesota has lost 5 of their last 6, but this is a team that has been playing much better since the All-Star break. I also think the Knicks got no business being a road favorite with the way they are struggling to score the basketball. New York has scored 106 or fewer points in 6 of their last 7 games, which is truly awful in this day and age of the NBA. Play the Timberwolves +3.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -7½ -105

The Jazz (-7.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against Memphis in Wednesday's NBA action. Utah is going to be without Donovan Mitchell for this game, but I don't think it's going to stop them from winning this by double-digits. Utah has led by 20 or more points in each of their last 5 games. They also look to be catching Memphis a little short-handed. Grizzlies won't have Justise Winslow and good chance they will also be without Grayson Allen. Play the Jazz -7.5

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -4½ -107

The Nuggets (-4.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against the 76ers. Denver crushed the Hawks 126-102 in the debut of Aaron Gordon. He's a really good fit on this team and can really impact the game right away without having to score a ton. As for Philadelphia, they are in a tough spot here. The 76ers are still without Embiid and are playing their 5th straight on the road. A trip that started in New York before flying out west. Play Denver -4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Raptors vs Pistons under 219 -109

The UNDER (219) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action that has the Raptors visiting the Pistons. Detroit is a huge UNDER team with their lackluster offense, which has really been struggling of late. Pistons are averaging a mere 102.6 ppg over their last 5 and are shooting just 44% from the field during this stretch. Because they play at a slow pace, they also don't give up a lot of points. With Toronto not figuring to be pushing the tempo in the 2nd of a back-to-back and 3rd game in 4 days, this should stay well below the mark. Play the UNDER 219! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -4 -104

The Celtics (-4) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against the Pelicans in Monday's NBA action. I know there's a couple key guys in question for Boston, but this is just too good a price to pass up. New Orleans has been playing well here of late, but they are just 6-14 SU on the road this season and are a mere 4-11-2 ATS last 17 road games vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games. Play Boston -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -6 -105

Bet the Suns (-6) at home against the Hornets on Sunday. Phoenix might be the most underrated/disrespected team in the league right now. The Suns are 22-6 SU over their last 28 games. A team playing this well should be overvalued and struggling to cover inflated lines, but that's not the case. Phoenix is the exact same 22-6 ATS during this run. Charlotte has won and covered 3 straight, but will struggle to keep playing with rookie LaMelo Ball sidelined. Bet the Suns -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -10 -105

This play is on the Utah Jazz (-10) at home against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Jazz failed to cover at home last night against these Grizzlies, winning by a final of 117-114 as a very similarly priced favorite. Utah was up 16 at the half in that game and just didn't come out very strong in the 2nd half. They are still 15-5 ATS at home this season and have covered 9 of their last 10 at home against teams who shoot 46% or better from the field. Play the Jazz -10! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies vs Jazz over 227½ +103

The OVER (227.5) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Jazz and Grizzlies. Two really good offenses facing off in this one and I just feel they will have no problem reaching 230 points in this game. Memphis is averaging 114.9 ppg on the road, while Utah is scoring 117.8 ppg at home. Utah has scored at least 115 points in each of their last 6 games and 10 of their last 11. Grizzlies have scored 111 or more in each of their last 3. Play the OVER 227.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -9½ -109

The Jazz (-9.5) are worth a as a big home favorite against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. Utah should have no problem winning this game by double-digits. In their last two games the Jazz have made easy work of Chicago and Brooklyn. They took down the Bulls 120-95 and the Nets 118-88. We know when this team gets going they can be almost unstoppable. Grizzlies won't be able to keep pace. Play the Jazz -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -4½ -105

The Mavs (-4.5) are worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Pacers in Friday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Dallas at home. Mavs have really been playing well over the last month. They have won 10 of their last 14, including two straight. Indiana has won 3 of 4, but also lost by 27 to the Bucks during this stretch. I also feel rest could be a big factor in this one. Pacers will be playing their 4th game in 6 days (travel between each game), while Dallas is playing only their 2nd game in 5 days. Give me the Mavs -4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bulls -5½ -105

The Bulls (-5.5) are worth a look here as a pretty small home favorite against the Cavs in Wednesday's NBA action. I get the records of these two teams aren't all that different, but there's no question who the better team is. Chicago simply has underachieved. Either way, I think the Bulls are showing value here off that 25-point home loss to the Jazz. Cleveland is a team Chicago should beat by double-digits on their home floor. Play the Bulls -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +8 -105

The Wolves (+8) are worth a look as a near double-digit home dog against the Mavs in Wednesday's NBA action. While Minnesota has failed to cover their last two and three of their last four, I like the spot and the value here. Mavs could have a hard time getting up for this game. They are coming off a 40-point blowout win over the Blazers on Sunday. Getting two days off on the road isn't as nice as it sounds with how limited players are with what they can do because of Covid. Add in the Timberwolves not being a team that really gets the juices flowing and it adds up to a game that the Mavs might not show up at all and lose outright. Either way I like the Timberwolves to keep it within the number. Play Minnesota +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -1½ -110

The Blazers (-1.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Nets in Tuesday's NBA action. Portland is going to be ready for this one after getting destroyed by 40 points in Sunday's 92-132 loss to the Mavs. I like their chances of rebounding, as the Blazers had won 7- of their previous 9. They are also going to be facing the Nets without Irving or Durant and possibly Harden. Play the Blazers -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets vs Magic under 218 -109

The UNDER (218) is worth a look in Tuesday's NBA action between the Orlando Magic and the Denver Nuggets. I just don't see these two teams sniffing 220 points, especially with how bad the Magic are struggling offensively. Orlando has scored fewer than 100 points in 4 of their last 5 games. It also helps that the Magic are defending, they are only giving up 105 ppg on 44.5% shooting in their last 5. Denver is a good offensive team, but only the Knicks play at a slower pace. Play the UNDER 218! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks +6½ -105

The Hawks (+6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Clippers in Monday's NBA action. Atlanta is rolling right now. The Hawks have won 8 straight games, knocking off the Lakers 99-94 as a 3.5-point dog in their last game. Atlanta is 7-1 ATS during this run. With how inconsistent the Clippers have been, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Hawks didn't win this game outright. Play Atlanta +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls -3 -101

The Bulls (-3) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite over the Pistons in Sunday's NBA action. Just too good a price here with Chicago, as they are undervalued off back-to-back losses, while Detroit is way overvalued after back-to-back wins. There's also just something about being on the road for the Bulls, as they are 13-4 ATS this season away from home. Pistons are 3-12 ATS last 15 after scoring 110 or more in 2 straight games and 3-13 ATS last 16 off back-to-back covers. Play the Bulls -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +7 -105

The Kings (+7) are worth a look as a big road dog against the 76ers in Saturday's NBA action. Philadelphia has been rolling, but did have their 6-game losing streak snapped in a 105-109 OT loss at home to the Bucks. I just wonder with Embiid still out and now Seth Curry sidelined, if the 76ers aren't primed for a big letdown here against a bad but hungry Kings team that has won their last 2 games. I like Sacramento to keep it close. Play the Kings +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +7 -105

The Bulls (+7) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Nuggets in Friday's NBA action. Good spot here to jump on Chicago, as they are going to be undervalued here after that ugly 4th quarter collapse against the Spurs on Wednesday. Bulls are just the team you want to back in this spot. They are 6-2 ATS last 8 games off a loss and 8-1 ATS last 9 as  road dog. Nuggets crushed Charlotte 129-104 on Thursday, but are just 6-13-1 ATS last 20 off a win by more than 10 points. Play the Bulls +7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +5½ -110

The Raptors (+5.5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Jazz in Friday's NBA action. Toronto is going to be close to back to full strength for this game and will be eager to test themselves against a Jazz team that owns the best record in the NBA. Thing is, Utah is in a funk right now and will be playing here in the 2nd game of a back-to-back. No way should the Raptors being getting this many at home. Play Toronto +5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -6½ -107

The Lakers (-6.5) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Hornets in Thursday's NBA action. LA had their struggles adjusting to life without Anthony Davis, but they seem to have figured out how to make-do without him. After an 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS run, Lakers have gone 5-2 SU and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7. Hornets just opened up their 5-game road trip with a 104-129 loss at Denver and with the way this team defends, I think they will have a hard time keeping this close. Play the Lakers -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -3 -110

The Nets (-3) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Pacers in Wednesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Brooklyn against a struggling Indiana team. The Nets have won 13 of their last 14 and are 11-3 ATS during this run. The Pacers are just 2-7 SU and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9. Indiana will put up a fight, but at -3 we really just need the Nets to win this game. Play Brooklyn -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -6 -110

The red-hot 76ers (-6) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Knicks. Philadelphia has won 3 straight out of the break and 5 in a row overall. Since the break they have won without Embiid and Simmons, without Simmons and without Embiid. The offense hasn't missed a beat no matter who is on the floor, as the 76ers have shot 52% or better in 5 straight. Philadelphia is the better team and catching the Knicks on the 2nd game of a back-to-back after facing rival Brooklyn in a nail-biter on Monday. Play 76ers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -4½ -110

The Jazz (-4.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Celtics. Most will look to take Boston as a home dog, but Utah is the better team and after a really poor showing on Sunday at Golden State, I look for the Jazz to be 100% locked in for this matchup. Celtics have been playing better, but this still a flawed team. Jazz are 14-5 ATS this season against a team from the Eastern Conference and 23-13 ATS last 36 as a favorite. Play Utah -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -5 -105

The Nuggets (-5) are worth a look as a small home favorite against the Pacers in Monday's NBA action. Good spot here to buy Denver, as they are going to be highly motivated coming off a rare home loss to the Mavs on Saturday. Denver was really playing well before losing that game, as they had won 5 straight. Pacers are off a big upset win at Phoenix, but I just feel it now has them getting a little too much respect in this game. Denver is not an easy place to play, especially when playing your 3rd road game in 4 days. Play the Nuggets -5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings +2½ -100

The Kings (+2.5) are worth a look as Sacramento visits Charlotte in Monday's NBA action. Hornets have won 3 straight, including their first two back from the All-Star break. Winning 3 games in a row looks great, but when you look at who it's come against it's really not that surprising. Kings have been showing some life here of late and with the way they are scoring the ball and the way the Hornets defend, I like them to not only cover but when this game outright. Play Sacramento +2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -5½ -105

The Clippers (-5.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Pelicans. I just don't trust this Pelicans team. New Orleans had that awful 105-135 loss at home to Minnesota in their first game out of the break and then the very next game crushed the Cavs 116-82. This team is all over the place and I'm not buying the defense they put on display against Cleveland. Clippers are going to score at will in this game and are such a good road team that this price is too good to pass up. Play the Clippers -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -10½ -105

The Celtics (-10.5) are worth a look as a double-digit road favorite against the Rockets. It's sad what has transpired with Houston this season. The Rockets haven't won a game since Feb. 6th. They got guys not playing cause they want out, guys injured and just an overall lack of talent. Who knows who they are going to go with in this one. Celtics could bring their "C" game and cover this number, but I think Boston will show up after losing their first game back from the break against the Nets. Play the Celtics -10.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors +6½ -105

The Warriors (+6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against the Jazz on Sunday. Utah's crazy 20-1 run that spanned early Jan to mid Feb is going to have this team overpriced for quite a while. It's just not possible for them to sustain that level of play all season. We have seen them come back to reality here of late, as they have failed to cover 3 straight. Warriors have lost 4 straight, but those were all on the road sandwiched around the All-Star break. I think we get a max effort here from Golden State and just need them to keep it respectable. Play the Warriors +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -3½ -105

The Hawks (-3.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against the Kings in Saturday's NBA action. Atlanta has finally got something going here. The Hawks won their last two before the break and extended the win streak to 3 with a win over the Raptors on Thursday. The impressive thing is all 3 wins came on the road. It's just too good a price to pass up against this Kings team. Sacramento has won 3 of their last 5, but those 3 wins have come against the Pistons, the Lakers (rested a bunch of guys including LeBron) and a depleted Rockets team. Those are their only 3 wins since Feb. 7th. Play the Hawks -3.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets vs Grizzlies under 227½ +103

The UNDER (227.5) is worth a look here in Friday's NBA action that has the Grizzlies hosting the Nuggets. This is a really big number for this matchup. While both teams are capable of going off offensively, they have both seen the majority of their games here of late go UNDER the total. UNDER has cashed in 4 of the Nuggets last 6 and 6 of the last 7 for Memphis. UNDER is 11-1 in Grizzlies last 12 home games when playing only their 2nd game in 5 days. Play the UNDER 227.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -3½ -101

The Nuggets (-3.5) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. Denver won 4 straight going into the break and shot lights out in all 4 games, hitting at least 53% from field. They should have no problem staying hot against a bad Memphis defense. The Grizzlies are also overvalued here coming off that huge 127-112 win against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. This is just too good a price to pass up with Denver. Play the Nuggets -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -10 -105

The Bucks (-10) are worth a look as a big home favorite against the Knicks in Thursday's NBA action. This will be the first game back from the All-Star break for both teams and I just don't see this one being close at all. I know New York has been playing really well of late, but so many of their wins during this recent run have come against bad teams. In their last 6 meetings with Milwaukee they have lost all 6 by at least 14 points with each of the last 4 coming by at least 20. Play the Bucks -10! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +5½ -110

The Spurs (+5.5) are worth a look as a decently priced road dog against the Mavs in Wednesday's NBA action. I just think Dallas is a bit overrated coming out of the break. Mavs went 9-2 over their final 11 games and a lot of that was just them getting healthy. Not that I'm expecting the Mavs to revert back to losing, I just think there's still some major flaws with this team, especially on defense. San Antonio is one of those teams that were hit hard with Covid in February. They are as healthy now as they have been in a long time and I think they will be the more motivated team out of the break. Play the Spurs +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on All Star LeBron -3½ -105

Team LeBron (-3.5) is worth a look here as a small favorite against Team Durant in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game. I just think Team LeBron is without question the better team. The starting 5 of LeBron, Gianniss, Curry, Doncic and Jokic is going to be fun to watch. Not to take anything away from Team Durant, but he's not even playing. Play Team LeBron! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -6 -105

The Bucks (-6) are worth a look here as a 6-point road favorite against the Grizzlies in Wednesday's NBA action. Milwaukee had their 5-game win streak snapped in Tuesday's ugly 97-128 loss at home to the Nuggets. No way the Bucks are going to be happy about that showing. I got a good feeling we see Milwaukee come out extremely motivated to make sure they go into the All-Star break with some momentum. Memphis is definitely a team they can cover this number against. The Grizzlies have won their last two, but it's come against the Rockets and Wizards. Bucks are 33-17 ATS last 50 off an upset loss as a favorite and 16-4 ATS in their last 20 when off a loss by 10 or more as a favorite. Play Milwaukee -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +8 -105

The Thunder (+8) are worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against the Mavs. Dallas is simply overvalued right now due to the fact that they have won 8 of their last 10. They were asked to lay a similar price in their last game at Orlando and didn't cover as a 7-point favorite. Not only are the Mavs overvalued, but we are getting value with OKC due to them coming off that ugly 30-point loss to the Nuggets at home. Thunder are 14-3 ATS last 17 on the road off a loss by 10 or more and 28-9 ATS last 37 as a road dog. Play Oklahoma City +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6½ -105

The Jazz (-6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Pelicans in Monday's NBA action. At this point, you either back Utah or stay away. The Jazz are on one of the most ridiculous runs in recent memory. Utah is 23-3 SU and 19-4 ATS over their last 23 games. They aren't just sneaking past teams, they are winning convincingly and that's what I expect here against a struggling Pelicans team. New Orleans is just 3-7 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. Play Utah -6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -6½ -105

The Mavs (-6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road favorite against the Magic in Monday's NBA action. Dallas has really turned things around. It wasn't that long ago the Mavs were in the midst  of a 6-game losing streak and sitting there with a mere 8-13 record. They have won 8 of their last 11 to pull to .500 and will extremely motivated to keep this strong play going into the All-Star break. As for the Magic, they have really fallen off after a fast start. Orlando has dropped 3 straight to fall to 13-21 overall and the last two have been ugly, losing by 37 at Brooklyn and by 15 at home to the Jazz. Play the Mavs -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks -1 -101

The Knicks (-1) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on the road against the Pistons. New York has caught fire here before the all-star break. Knicks have won 6 of 8 and are a dominant 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games. The books can be slow to adjust the numbers on a bad team like NY, as the public typically takes a while to get on board. With how bad the Pistons have been playing, you got to roll the dice with the Knicks in this one. Play New York -1! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -4½ -107

The Lakers (-4.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Blazers in Friday's NBA action. LA has went from being a team that's way overvalued to getting undervalued due to how poorly they have played here of late without Anthony Davis. Lakers have lost each of their last 4 games and failed to cover in all 4, losing the first 3 outright as a favorite and most recently losing by 25 at Utah as a 8.5-point dog. Now is the time to jump on LA against a struggling Blazers team. Lakers also get some reinforcements back here with starting PG Dennis Schroder expected back after missing the last 4 games. Play the Lakers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -3 -105

The Celtics (-3) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Pacers. I know Boston hasn't exactly been playing great of late, but this is just too good a price to pass up with them at home. Celtics are 14-4 ATS last 18 games after failing to cover in 3 straight and have won 4 straight at home against Indiana. Play Boston -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +7½ -105

The Rockets (+7.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Raptors. We are getting some exceptional value here with Houston due to the fact that they come in having lost 9 straight and are fresh off an ugly 16-point loss at Cleveland in their last game. Rockets have recently got back Oladipo and should start playing better. They definitely will be motivated here to avoid losing 10 in a row. Raptors have also lost and failed to cover in 2 straight and are simply being asked to lay too big a number here. Play the Rockets +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +8½ -109

The Lakers (+8.5) are worth a look here as a near double-digit dog against the Jazz in Wednesday's NBA action. I don't know if LA will have enough here to get the win, but I definitely think they will keep it within the number. We are getting a great price here on the Lakers because of them being a bit undervalued after 3 straight losses, all as a favorite. You also have Utah way overvalued right now because of how dominant they have been for basically all of 2021. Play the Lakers +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pistons vs Pelicans over 222½ -110

The OVER (222.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action between the Pistons and Pelicans. On one side you have a team in New Orleans that has seen the OVER cash in 8 straight and 16 of their last 19 and the other you have a Detroit team that has seen the UNDER hit in 4 straight and 6 of 7. The key here is which team will be able to dictate the tempo and my money is on the Pelicans. Not only is New Orleans playing at home, but they have a massive edge in rest. Pelicans have had the last 2 days off, while the Pistons are on no rest after playing last night in Orlando. You also have to look at the Pelicans defense and the fact it's allowed 113 or more in 7 straight games. Play the OVER 222.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -7½ -105

The Nuggets (-7.5) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Blazers in Tuesday's NBA action. Portland is trending in the wrong direction. After losing 111-118 as a 4-point home favorite to the Wizards on Saturday, they got annihilated 132-100 at Phoenix on Monday. I just don't see it getting any better for the Blazers on no rest. Denver is one of the toughest places in the NBA to play in the 2nd of a back-to-back. Nuggets should also be extremely motivated here having just lost 3 of 4 on a 4-game road trip. Play Denver -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +2½ -100

The Pistons (+2.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Magic in Tuesday's NBA action. These two teams just played each other on Sunday in Orlando and the Magic were able to hold on for a 105-96 win. Never easy beating the same team twice in a row and there's reason to be optimistic that Detroit can get their revenge, as they shot a miserable 37.4% in the loss. To shoot that badly and only lose by 9 definitely suggests they can win the rematch. Play the Pistons +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +6½ -105

The Blazers (+6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Suns in Monday's NBA action. Portland is coming off a 111-118 loss at home to the Wizards as 4-point favorite, but are still a very strong 6-1 SU and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. The strong ATS run goes back even further, as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games. Phoenix has also been a great bet of late, covering 11 of their last 13, but the books have definitely inflated the number on the Suns in this one. Play Portland +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -5 -105

The Clippers (-5) are worth a look here as a relatively small home favorite against the Nets. Los Angeles got back their two best players in Leonard and George in their last game and with those two they beat the red-hot Jazz 116-112. Brooklyn is also coming in off a big road win, as they defeated the Lakers 109-98. Thing is the Nets are still without Durant and while the duo of Irving and Harden was enough against a Lakers team that was without Anthony Davis, I don't think it will be enough against the Clippers. Look for the Nets defense to really get exposed in this one and LA is one of the few teams who can matchup defensively with the Nets stars. Play the Clippers -5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +1½ -104

The Pistons (+1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on the road against the Magic. These are two bad teams, but no one is going to even think twice about taking Detroit on the road as a short dog. You can side with the public if you want, but when a line looks this far off I'm going the other way. Detroit has gone 8-5-1 ATS in their last 14 games. They are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games with the Magic. Orlando on the other hand is 1-8 ATS last 9 vs a bad team like the Pistons who have won between 25% to 40% of their games. Play Detroit +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings -2 -105

The Kings (-2) are worth a look here as a slim 2-point road favorite against the Bulls in Saturday's NBA action. Great spot here to fade Chicago. Bulls will be in the second game of a back-to-back after a huge game last night against the Eastern Conference leaders in the 76ers. Don't be afraid of the fact that the Kings have dropped 5 straight. They are the much more rested team and have covered 16 of their last 21 trips to Chicago. Play the Kings -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +5 -110

The Pistons (+5) are worth a look here as a road dog against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. Detroit is a team the public doesn't want anything to do with and because of that they are often showing great value against the spread. It's played right into the Pistons going a very strong 8-4-1 ATS in their last 13 games. Detroit has really fared well against strong offensive teams like Memphis that shoot it well. They are 13-3 ATS last 16 vs teams who shoot 36% or better from behind the 3-point line and 14-4 ATS last 17 vs teams who shoot 46% or better from the field. Play Detroit +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -5½ -105

The Bucks (-5.5) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Raptors in Tuesday's NBA action. I feel like we are getting quite the discount on Milwaukee at home in this one. We know the Bucks are going to be motivated after losing 3 straight to finish up their 6 game road trip. Milwaukee is 9-2 on their home floor, where they are winning by an average of 13.5 ppg. Toronto has been playing better of late, but have dropped their last two and just aren't good enough defensively to have a realistic shot of keeping this close. Play the Bucks -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers +6½ -105

The 76ers (+6.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the red-hot Jazz. Pretty big number here for Philadelphia to be catching. I know Utah has won 18 of their last 19 and are 17-2 ATS during this run, but this is far from an ideal spot for the Jazz playing what will be their 3rd game in 4 nights. Utah also has two massive road games at the Clippers on deck Wednesday and Friday. I not only think the 76ers can keep it close, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if they won this game outright. Play Philadelphia +6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -5½ -105

The Pacers (-5.5) are worth a look here as a relatively small home favorite against the struggling Bulls in Monday's NBA action. After a 1-6 stretch, Indiana has got back on track with back-to-back double-digit wins. First it was a 111-95 win at Detroit on Thursday and then a 125-113 win at Atlanta on Saturday. Pacers shot 51% against the Pistons and 50% against the Hawks. Look for the Pacers to stay hot offensively against the Bulls, who have allowed 50%+ in each of their last two and are giving up 116.1 ppg on 48% shooting on the season. Chicago is also not playing well right now, going just 3-7 SU in their last 10 games. Play the Pacers -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +4½ -100

Portland (+4.5) is worth a look here as a road dog against the Mavericks. The Blazers continue to play well despite being down two of their top starters in McCollum and Nurkic. They still got one of the best players in the league in Lillard and they got better depth than people give them credit for. Portland has won 3 straight and 5 of 6 overall. They have also gone a dominant 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. Mavs have been playing better, but they are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11. Play the Blazers +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -4½ -105

The Blazers (-4.5) are worth a look here as a relatively small home favorite against the Cavs. I think we are getting quite the discount here with Portland. I get the Blazers are off a huge upset win last night against the 76ers, but they have now won 4 of their last 5 and most importantly they are playing a Cavs team that is an absolute mess right now. Cleveland has lost 5 straight and are 1-7 SU and 0-8 ATS over their last 8 games. Play the Blazers -4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks +2 -110

Milwaukee (+2) is worth a look here as a small road dog against the Jazz in Friday's NBA action. Betting against Utah right now is not easy, as they come into this game on a ridiculous run. The Jazz are 16-1 SU and 15-2 ATS over their last 17 games. For them to only be a slim 2-point favorite at home against a Bucks team they beat 131-118 on the road earlier this season makes no sense. When a game of this magnitude looks to be off, you have to go against the grain and take the dog. I really see Milwaukee out to make a statement here and this is where Utah figures to really miss point guard Mike Conley, who is out with a hamstring injury. Play the Bucks +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +5½ -105

The Blazers (+5.5) are worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against the 76ers in Thursday's NBA action. Portland continues to get undervalued by the books because of them being down a few key players to injury. Blazers have gone 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and one of those was a 121-105 win at Philadelphia as a 10-point dog. 76ers have won and covered 6 of 7, but are now in game 2 of a 4-game west coast trip. Philly is a mere 3-12 ATS last 15 road games when playing their 2nd game in 5 days and just 9-21 ATS last 30 as a road favorite of 6 or less. Play the Blazers +5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Cavs vs Nuggets over 224½ +103

The OVER (224.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has the Nuggets hosting the Cavaliers. I think we are getting some value here with the this number because of the fact that Cleveland isn't a great offensive team. There's no arguing that, but you have to factor in the Denver defense to the equation. The Nuggets are giving up 118.8 ppg over their last 5 and 114.4 ppg at home on the season. I just don't see them being invested at all on the defensive side of the ball against a bad Cavs team. Play the OVER 224.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks +4 -104

The Hawks (+4) are worth a look as a road dog against the Mavs in Wednesday's NBA action. The betting public keeps backing this Dallas team, despite the fact that they keep failing to cover. The Mavs are a mere 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games. Their lone cover during this stretch did come against these Hawks last week, but I like the revenge angle here for Atlanta. Mavs are also just 1-8 ATS this season as a home favorite and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 at home when playing at least their 6th game in 10 days. Play the Hawks +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -4½ -105

The (76ers -4.5) are worth a look here as a relatively small road favorite against the Kings in Tuesday's NBA action. Sacramento comes into this game on quite the run, as the Kings are 7-1 SU and 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. A lot of good fortune has played a part in their recent surge. Each of their last 3 and 4 of their last 5 wins have come by 5 or fewer points. They also benefited a lot during this stretch catching teams in bad spots. That's not the case here, as the 76ers are playing on 2 days of rest. Philly has also been covering at a high rate of late, cashing a winning ticket in 5 of their last 6. Play the 76ers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -2½ -102

The Raptors (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Grizzlies. Toronto had won 3 straight before laying an egg at Atlanta following their big win over Brooklyn. I expect the Raptors to get back on track against Memphis. The Grizzlies had it going for a while, but they have lost 3 straight and continue to be hit hard with injuries. Play the Raptors -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Suns -3 -105

The Suns (-3) are worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Celtics in Sunday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Phoenix at home. The Suns are hot right now having won and covered in 4 of their last 5. Celtics are fresh off a big upset win over the Clippers, but are now playing their 4th road game in 6 days and are doing so without 2 of their best players in Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. Play the Suns -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat -5½ -105

The Heat (-5.5) are worth a look here as a road favorite at the Knicks in Sunday's NBA action. Miami is finally starting to get healthy and while they are still down a few guys, they got more than enough to put away New York on the road. Miami needs every win they can get to get back in the mix and I love the fact that they are coming off one of their best games of the season in Friday's 27 point win over the Wizards. Knicks have won two straight, but are playing on no rest. I just don't see NY being up to the challenge in this one. Play the Heat -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Suns -8½ -100

The Suns (-8.5) are worth a look here as a near double-digit home favorite against the Pistons in Friday's NBA action. This is a big bounce back spot for Phoenix after an ugly 22-point loss at New Orleans on Wednesday. Prior to that the Suns had won 3 straight. Getting back on track against the Pistons won't be problem. Detroit is arguably the worst team in the league and are a miserable 1-9 on the road, where they are getting outscored by almost 10 ppg. Play the Suns -8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -7 -105

The Jazz (-7) are worth a look here as a decently priced home favorite against the Hornets. Utah is playing the best basketball of any team in the league right now. They are 13-1 SU and 12-2 ATS over their last 14 games. Some might be hesitant to back the Jazz on no rest after a game last night in Atlanta, but they didn't have to use much energy in a 112-91 blowout win. There's just no reason not to keep backing the Jazz and as long as they aren't a complete no show, they should easily cover this one. Play Utah -7!
