| Brooklyn | Over | Brooklyn |
| -2.0 | 217.0 | 98-95 |
Brooklyn lost last night in a close 108-105 loss away to the Celtics. Back at home tonight on a B2B we’ll take the Nets at the ML, with the Magic’s road record not enough to give us any confidence, especially with Vucevic out.
Magic are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games.
Overs best, with both ranking in the bottom 3rd of the league in defensive efficiency.
Best Bet = Over 217.0
Milwaukee @ Toronto

- Under is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings.

The Raptors go for their 12th straight home win tonight so we’re rolling with the hot hand. Not overly confident with the -6.0 line, so ML best and Overs worth a look with both ranking in the top ten offensively.
Best Bet = Over 215.0 and Toronto ML
Portland @ Chicago
H2H Trends
- Portland are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Chicago.
- Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The Blazers went 5-8 through December and with Lillard likely out and the Bulls going for 7 straight at home, again we roll with the hot hand taking the Bulls at -1.5.
Best Bet = Chicago ML and Over 205.0

| -11.0 | 214.0 | 114-96 |
The Lakers went double OT last night in a 148-142 loss away to the Rocket, a brave effort with 3 starters on the sidelines.
Liking the look of the Lakers, but after a big night last night, the T-Wolves at home is too tough of a task.
Minnesota for the ML, -11.0 a bit too heavy for us.
Best Bet = NO BET
Best Bet = Minnesota -11.0
