| Toronto | NO BET | Toronto |
| -4.0 | TBC | 100-91 |
The road team has taken the last 4 in this series. With Wall looking to sit with fluid in his knee the swing certainly goes to the home team Raptors going for 4 straight wins.
Toronto rank 3rd in PPG and have enough fire power to get over the Wizards while Wall sits. (Watch for lineups close to gametime).
Best Bet = Toronto ML

The Pacers showed real heart getting over the Pistons last out after trailing by 22 points in the 3rd, taking the win 107-100.
Miami has won their last 6 at home in this matchup but we’re expecting a close contest.
We’ll buck the consensus and roll with the underdog, Overs best.
Best Bet = Over 206.0
Golden State @ Brooklyn

| -12.5 | 234.0 | 118-111 |
Last night the Warriors hit 5th gear and overcame a 74-52 halftime deficit in Philadelphia by going on a 47-15 rampage in the 3rd, eventually taking the win 124-116 and breaking some hearts in Philly at the same time.
Golden State rank 1st in offensive efficiency and both teams rank in the top 5 in game tempo so you’d expect a shootout tonight. That line is a little high for a team on a B2B game that may be a blowout, so we’ll take the Unders.
Golden State won both meetings last season by an average of 16.5 points.
Durant looks to be out here, so perhaps look for a Klay Thompson Player Prop (Over 22.5 points).
Best Bet = No Bet.
If You Must = Under 234.0

- Detroit are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

The TWolves have won 3 straight and are emerging as the exciting team that we hoped for at the start of the season. With all 5 starters scoring in double figures last out in a 111-87 slaughter of Dallas.
The Pistons blew a 22 point lead in Indiana last out and their current road trip is not overly impressive.
Young T-Wolves to get it done at home,
Best Bet = Minnesota ML

It’s the battle for the Mayor of Struggle Town tonight, and it’s just a matter of who will suck less.
The Bulls are sinking a near league worst 94.8 PPG while the Suns are conceding a league worst 116.6 PPG.
Like the Suns at home, but we’ll keep the hard earned in our pockets for this one.
Best Bet = No Bet.
If You Must = Phoenix ML

Denver is flying with 8 wins over their past 11, their last a 146 point effort to take down the Pelicans 146-114.
This Nuggets team has not been good on the road going just 2-4 straight up and 1-5 ATS, but we’ll take them against the Lakers who we wouldn’t tough with a ten foot pole betting wise at the moment.
Best Bet = Denver -4.5
