Philadelphia won the first matchup 118-116 on February 4 behind Joel Embiid’s 29-11-10 triple-double.

Dallas was crushed 133-96 by Houston, with Klay Thompson’s brutal 2-16 shooting contributing to their seventh loss in eight games—someone hide the stat sheet.

The 76ers blew a 16-point lead in a 112-100 loss to Indiana despite Jeff Dowtin’s career-high 24 points, extending their road skid to eight. Quentin Grimes is available, and P.J. Washington returns for Dallas.

  • ORL – Paolo Banchero has made 2+ threes in each of the Magic’s last 5 road games.
  • ORL – Franz Wagner has recorded 6+ assists in each of the Magic’s last 3 road games vs. the Cavaliers.

  • ORL – Franz Wagner has recorded 6+ rebounds in 4 of the Magic’s last 5 road games.
  • CLE – Evan Mobley has recorded 12+ rebounds in each of the Cavaliers’ last 3 home games vs. the Magic.

Closing a five-game road trip, the Magic visit the Cavaliers at Rocket Arena.

Cleveland has won both matchups this season and five straight at home vs. Orlando.

The Cavaliers beat Memphis 133-124 behind Evan Mobley’s 22-11 on 9-16 shooting and Darius Garland’s 20-9-4 (equal-season-high), missing Donovan Mitchell (questionable). Cleveland has now won 16 straight—the longest streak in franchise history.

Orlando fell 118-111 to Minnesota despite Paolo Banchero’s 43-10, continuing an odd trend of three straight losses when he scores 40+. Mobley is also questionable—so Cleveland might be missing its best Mobley and its best Mitchell.

PICK – ORLANDO +10.5

  • LAL – Austin Reaves has recorded 8 rebounds in each of the Lakers’ last 3 games.

  • PHX – The Suns have won the 1st half in 8 of their last 9 games vs. the Lakers.

Returning from a four-game road trip, the Lakers host the Suns at Crypto.com Arena.

The season series has gone with home court, including the Lakers’ 123-116 win on October 25.

LA fell 131-126 to Denver despite Austin Reaves’ monster 37-8-13-4 (equal-career-high) and Dalton Knecht’s 32 points, missing LeBron James (out) and Luka Doncic (probable). The Lakers have dropped three straight without James—turns out, he’s still kind of important.

Phoenix beat Sacramento 122-106, led by Devin Booker’s 22-13 (season-high) and Kevin Durant’s 22-6. The Suns have won four straight in division play.

PICK – LA LAKERS -3.5

  • ATL – Onyeka Okongwu has recorded 10+ rebounds in 4 of the Hawks’ last 5 games.

Playing the second leg of a back-to-back, the Nets host the Hawks at Barclays Center.

Atlanta won their first matchup 120-116 on October 23 but looks to snap a five-game road skid vs. Brooklyn.

The Nets lost 115-113 to Boston despite Cameron Johnson’s 23-10 (equal-season-high)-6, extending their conference losing streak to six—maybe they should petition for a division switch.

Atlanta was crushed 121-98 by the Clippers despite Onyeka Okongwu’s 18-10-3, ending a four-game win streak.

PICK – ATLANTA -5.5

  • TOR – Scottie Barnes has recorded 10+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games.

Meeting for the first time this season, the Raptors and Portland face off at Moda Center.

Portland swept last season’s series, including a 128-118 home win.

The Blazers lost 114-113 in OT to New York despite Scoot Henderson’s 30 points, extending their skid to five—somehow finding new ways to lose. Meanwhile, Toronto beat Utah 126-118, marking their sixth win in seven games. RJ Barrett is questionable, and Immanuel Quickley is out.

The Raptors have lost 17 of 21 road games without Quickley but have won three straight with him—turns out, he might be the secret sauce. Anfernee Simons is questionable for Portland.

Both on the second leg of a back-to-back, the Thunder and Bucks meet at Fiserv Forum.

They’ve split their two matchups this season, with Milwaukee aiming to extend a five-game home win streak vs. OKC.

The Bucks beat Indiana 126-119, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 34-10-7-3 on 14-19 shooting and Damian Lillard’s 25-10 (equal-season-high)-8.

Oklahoma City edged Detroit 113-107 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 48 points with three steals on 17-26 shooting, again without Jalen Williams. The Thunder have won 13 straight when SGA shoots 60.0% or better—turns out, efficiency is a pretty good strategy.
