| -10.0 | 217.0 | 101-97 |
Not a lot of value here, best to stay away. Wizards will win, but little confidence in the spread despite the Knicks having covered just 3 of the last 16 meetings overall against Washington.
Best Bet = Over 217.0

Atlanta has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings with Houston, however with the loss of Schroder they will struggle to score tonight.
Houston for sure, but that lines too high considering that the Rockets haven’t really been putting the foot on the throat of teams lately.
Best Bet = Houston -13.0
Utah @ Golden State

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Utah | Under | Utah |
| -3.5 | 203.0 | 110-91 |
Stephen Curry was reportedly diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of his left MCL after testing on Saturday and will be reevaluated in three weeks. Golden State’s locker room looks more like an infirmary with injuries as far as they eye can see.
The under has cashed in 5 of the last 6 Golden State games and we’ll run with that here. Utah for the W, but no money staked from our pockets here.
Best Bet = Utah -3.5
