| +11.0 | 213.0 | 115-112 |
The Cavaliers have won 18 of their last 20 and should take care of the Bulls tonight. The Cavs also rank third worst in the league in defensive efficiency so we’ll take the overs.
Not confident in the spread.
Best Bet = Over 213.0

Raptors on the 2nd leg of a B2B tonight, can’t go against them against a 76ers team that is as up and down as the Bitcoin markets of late. Toronto at the ML our best bet.
The 76ers rank last in the league in turnovers, while the Raptors are 4th best.
Best Bet = Toronto ML

The Celtics 13-4 road record is elite however this looks like a danger game. Porzingis returns following some knee soreness, and this game screams NO BET to us.
Boston are the top defense in the league and these two squads play at a slower pace, wait for the Total lines.
Best Bet = No Bet
Of You Must = Boston ML
Memphis @ Phoenix
H2H Trends –
- Memphis are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
- Memphis are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Phoenix.

The Memphis 3-10 road record is awful, however the Suns 4-12 record at home is equally shite. This one is another one to throw into the garbage pile.
If anything take the unders, or stay away.
Best Bet = No Bet
Best Bet = Under 204.5

Utah have dropped 7 of their last 8 after being smacked by 28 points last time out and things don’t get any easier hosting the surging San Antonio Spurs tonight.
No Gobert means no chance inside for the Jazz tonight.
Best Bet = Spurs -2.5
