Thanks to those that take the time to read. Please, follow along on our socials and good luck to us!

  • 6:30pm cst: Philadelphia 76ers (-2.5) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

This should be a good Eastern Conference game between these two. Jarrett Allen will be out for this game and Donovan Mitchell should be playing. Sixers have played well against the Cavs last game out when Embiid and Mitchell had huge games. The main difference was the 76ers had more rebounds and made 3PTs. I’m looking towards the Cavs and its players as they are home dogs. Cavs are on a back to back but are 7-4 in that situation.

Pick: Cavaliers +2.5

Darius Garland Over 21.5 Points (-120)

Evan Mobley Over 16.5 Points (-130)

  • 6:30pm cst: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Miami Heat (-4)

Grizzlies are on a 3 game winning streak but two of those were against the depleted Dallas mavericks. Miami has been trading wins and losses as they try to get back healthy again. Grizzlies may have found a groove with their new rotations without Morant and 4 points is a bit too many. Jimmy Butler has been hot for us so gonna go back to that well.

Picks: Grizzlies +4

David Roddy Over 8.5 Points (-105)

Jimmy Butler Over 23.5 Points (-120)

Bam Adebayo Under 30.5 Points, Assists & Rebounds (-115)

  • 7:00pm cst: Boston Celtics (-5) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Celtics have been struggling and the last time out they were defeated by the Houston Rockets. The T-Wolves smoked the Hawks on Monday and now host the Celtics. There’s not much I like in this game.

Pick: Jaylen Brown Over 25.5 Points (-115)

  • 7:00pm cst: Sacramento Kings (-1) vs. Chicago Bulls

This line looks like a trap begging for people to take the Kings here. There are some low props that we can take advantage of though. This feels like a game where the Bulls steal one based on this spread.

Pick: Nikola Vucevic Over 33.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-105)

  • 7:00pm cst: LA Lakers (-3) vs. Houston Rockets

It doesn’t sound like there will be any Anthony Davis tonight for the Lakers so we will handicap around that and find spots. This should open up paint scoring for the Rockets and we already know there won’t be very much defense being played in this game. I expect a big game from D’Angelo Russell but the juice is too high at -150.

Pick: Alperen Sengun Over 13.5 Points (-120)

Jabari Smith Jr. Over 14.5 Points (-110)

Kenyon Martin Jr. Over 14.5 Points (-110)

  • 7:30pm cst: Dallas Mavericks (-4) vs. San Antonio Spurs

Dallas is desperate for a win and the Spurs are sitting a few of their players here. A lot of the player props are juiced heavily and have been corrected for Jaden Hardy and Josh Green. For that reason I’m staying away from Dallas props but will take them laying 4.

Pick: Mavericks -4

  • 9:00pm cst: Golden State Warriors vs. LA Clippers (-3)

Fading the Warriors on the road and buying on the Clippers.

Pick: Clippers -3

Kawhi Leonard Over 38.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-110)
