The Raptors have the best home record in the league (14-1) but it gets a little tougher tonight coming of a road OT win last night on a B2B. Adding to the pain will be the absence of Kyle Lowry who was helped off the court last night. Can’t overlook the Raptors home court advantage though.
Best Bet = Toronto ML

The Thunder are coming off a bad loss against the Suns and will look to bounce back tonight on home court. This is a big game for both teams considering their position in the standings. However, the Blazers will have to take the court without superstar guard Lillard which sways us towards the Thunder despite an awful performance last out in a loss to the Suns.
Best Bet = OKC -8.5
Orlando @ Dallas
H2H Trends –
- Orlando are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas.
- Over is 18-6 in the last 24 meetings.
- Over is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings in Dallas.

| +6.5 | 213.5 | 114-99 |
Dallas at home is always a risky play. They have coughed up against the league’s worst, including the Bulls, Kings, Suns and Hawks all on home court. Orlando are a chance but like the Unders better.
Best Bet = Under 213.5
Sacramento @ LA Lakers
H2H Trends –
- Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles.
- Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
- Sacramento are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles.

The Lakers were able to get a must needed win against the Hawks at home although it came at a cost, with LaVar Ball trashing the coach. Could be a statement game for many tonight while Fox gets his chance at Lonzo.
Best Bet = LA Lakers ML or Under 211.5
