The Raptors are very short and the spread looks achievable. Although with a possible rest up for grabs, the Under might be the wiser choice. Amazingly the Raptors have only lossed 5 games on home court this season (Best in league).

Best Bet  =  Under 218.0

The Thunder are maybe misunderstood this year with effort being the big issue. Against the league’s best, they can beat anyone. However, they do make it hard for themselves against the lottery teams. Leading the season series 1-0 gives them a chance, although the Rockets are on fire.

Best Bet  = Houston WIN

Denver @ Dallas

The Mavericks have openly admitted to tanking which has us confused with the spread tonight. The Nuggets are at full strength and should roll over on Dallas with ease.
