7:00PM CST: Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 vs. Memphis Grizzlies
If you haven't noticed, the Bucks have been in the news quite a bit this week, and none of it has been good. First, Damian Lillard reportedly said he does not want to play with Giannis. Then, Giannis mentioned he is ready to leave Milwaukee, with some favorite destinations in mind. Let's not forget that the Bucks are not healthy and have only won a single game so far this season. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, are on a back-to-back after losing last night and are also dealing with injuries. I just don't think the Bucks should be favored by more than six points. After their bad loss last night, I think we will see a better performance from the Grizz tonight. Two bad teams. I'll take the one that doesn't hate one another.

8:00PM CST: San Antonio Spurs -1 vs. Utah Jazz
This number opened with the Jazz being favored by 2 points. The line movement since has much to do with the health of Lauri Markkanen. Now, the Spurs are favored. I still liked the Spurs in this spot even though they are on a back-to-back. Victor Wembanyama had the worst game of his career last night, and I think he is going to come out on fire. Chet Holmgren also dominated the Spurs. Utah is still tanking, and I don’t think they have much of an interest in winning, but we will see. I still like San Antonio and agree with the line movement whether or not Markkanen plays.

9:40PM CST: Phoenix Suns -4.5 vs. Los Angeles Clippers
We have a rematch from last week where the Clippers took the Suns to the brink. This was a game the Clippers should have won but choked it away in the final two minutes. Clippers lost last night at home to the Trailblazers. The Suns have played well against teams on back-to-backs but the Clippers still match up well at home. I’ll take the points. This should be another great game.
Play: Clippers +4.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
