NBA Sides Season Record: 35-25-5 (+8.83 Units) — Betting 1 Unit to Win X

  • 7:00pm cst: Memphis Grizzlies vs. New Orleans Pelicans -5; Total 229.5

Ja Morant has returned for Memphis and is on a three game winning streak. He is the lightning rod the team needed (duh). The Pelicans on the other hand, we never know what we are going to get. It feels like after every Pelicans game Zion scores 35 points or fills X up with memes. Memphis tends to play the Pelicans tough. I am not sure if Marcus Smart is going to play but I am still backing the hot Grizzlies as I feel it is one too many points.

Pick: Grizzlies +5 (-112) [via DraftKings]

  • 7:00pm cst: Indiana Pacers vs. Houston Rockets -3; Total 239

Indiana is also suffering the post In-Season Tournament hangover like the Lakers. The Pacers also do not play any defense. Ever. I think this is a short number for a rested Rockets team who does love to play defense especially at home. Houston recently struggled with Eastern Conference teams so they will be looking to fix that tonight at home.

Pick: Rockets -3 (-105) [via DraftKings]

  • 7:00pm cst: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5; Total 228.5

This line opened up OKC -4 and I thought the T-Wolves were definitely worth a look there but now this line has dipped. This is now in the sweet spot for a Thunder team at home looking for a big win. It sounds like Josh Giddey will be active (somehow) so hopefully that is not a distraction. This is a big game for the Thunder at home and that is where I am going with this one.

Pick: Thunder -2.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
