Take the Warriors here to cover. Boston has struggled recently. They lost of the road in San Antonio and then came back and fell to the Lakers. Now, after a loss Saturday night at home, they have to fly across the country and take on the Warriors Tuesday night. These road trips are always tough, especially the first game after a long fight. Add to that the fact that the already weak Celtics bench will be without Marcus Smart, who injured himself in the last game. The Celtics defense had been playing better, but without their best defender, they will have trouble slowing down Steph Curry. I love the Warriors here to cover.

The big thing with Philadelphia in recent years is that they have been dominant at home but a doormat on the road. This season, the 76ers are 4-5 as the visiting team though all of their wins as the road team have come against teams with losing records. Indiana is only 6-5 at home this season but they are starting to get healthier as things wear on at this point in time.

The Wizards have really struggled this season, they’re dealing with trade rumors and are playing this one on zero days rest. The Pelicans are in a very similar position, so they’re not a certainty to take advantage in this spot. The Wizards are 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings in New Orleans, so while I think the Pelicans get the win, I’m taking the Wizards with the points to get the cover.

The Spurs have yet to really get going this season, but they will be eager to maintain their momentum after last night’s impressive win over the Wizards. The Pelicans have been struggling mightily and they are coming into this one fresh off a loss to the slumping Timberwolves which can’t be good for their confidence. The Spurs are playing this one on zero days rest, but they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in New Orleans and they represent decent value as the underdogs in this spot. Give me the Spurs to escape with the minor upset in this one.

The Knicks were in decent form before getting stopped by the streaky Kings in their last outing, so they will be keen to get back on the court against the Trailblazers who haven’t played since Monday as their last two games were postponed. This should be a close one, but in the end, I think the well-rested Trailblazers can get the job done here behind a big game from Lillard.

I’m going with the Jazz on Thursday. They might not knock down 21 triples as they did on Tuesday, but they will knock enough down to win this game. They have the better defense, offense, and a better bench that will use to beat on the Pelicans. New Orleans is 3-4 as the underdog this season and it’s hard to imagine New Orleans winning this game. I will go with Utah in this one.

The Indiana Pacers are a good basketball team that's worthy of backing in spots like this, but they've also had issues defensively at times and that could be an issue against these Mavericks. The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a rough week, but the ability is still there and I don't expect these issues to last long. I still find value in getting free points with the Mavs. I want the road team and the free bucket.

The Kings just haven’t been able to buy a win lately and they will be disappointed with themselves after dropping a winnable game against the Pelicans on Sunday. The Clippers will likely be shorthanded for this one as Lou Williams is listed as questionable with a hip injury, but they’ve been on a tear lately and should have more than enough to pile the misery on this struggling Kings team.

The Grizzlies have really come to life with five wins on the trot and it’s been pleasing to see that it’s been a team effort, rather than a hot streak from Morant. The Trailblazers have cooled off a bit since a four-game win streak and they will likely be shorthanded for a while as Jusuf Nurkic is expected to miss roughly six weeks after undergoing surgery, while CJ McCollum will miss at least four weeks with a fractured left foot. With that being said, I think the Grizzlies will take advantage of the shorthanded Trailblazers and extend their win streak to six games with an upset here.

The Spurs are finally in a nice groove after a slow start to the season and they will be full of confidence after blowing past the Trailblazers on Monday, while the Warriors will be looking to stay hot after taking down the Lakers in an impressive comeback win in their last outing. The Spurs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and the Spurs are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings overall, so I like them as the slight road underdog in this one.

Quite a quick turnaround for the New York Knicks who played yesterday, but they got a major shot in the arm after blowing the doors off the Celtics. The Orlando Magic are on the struggle bus with five straight losses and a defense that seems to be getting worse by the game. We've been fading the Magic for a while now and there's no reason to stop now. In a toss up contest with an early start, give me the New York Knicks at home.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on the end of a back to back, and they've been a bit sloppy over the last two weeks, which includes losing to the Grizzlies last night. The Oklahoma City Thunder are rested, have shown promise here and there, and they're a sneaky good team that competes and is led by a dawg in Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder have value with the free bucket here at home. I'll take it.

The Jazz are coming into this one riding a four-game win streak, while the Nuggets are coming in with plenty of momentum themselves, so this should be a good one. The Jazz perhaps look a little more settled as they’ve been good right from day one and the Nuggets have won just three of their seven home games so far which is understandable given their new home. This one is a coin flip, but the Jazz are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall and I think they’ll escape with the win here.

Without Ja and with the Minnesota Timberwolves having Towns back, Minny is the better team and should win. However, the Memphis Grizzlies have beaten the Timberwolves twice this month and have won five of the last six meetings against them overall. Heck, the Grizzlies just beat the Timberwolves on Wednesday, holding them to just 43 percent shooting from the field. I want to back the Timberwolves here, but the history suggests the value is with the Grizzlies .

The Memphis Grizzlies continue to play subpar basketball and it's hard to get behind this club until Ja returns. The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the worst teams in the league up to this point, but the return of Towns certainly helps matters.

The Pacers opened as slight favorites in this one, but last night’s loss to the Kings means that the Warriors now open as favorites at home. The Pacers have been one of the most consistent teams in the league this season, but they’re shorthanded and coming off a couple of losses while the Warriors have been playing well and just took down the Raptors despite Curry having a rare off shooting night. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and I think that trend continues as they get the win and cover here.

The New York Knicks are still a team I'm looking to back in the underdog role, but there's no doubt the offense has cooled down their last couple of games and they're on the end of a back to back here with travel. The Charlotte Hornets are quietly finding their groove over the last week or so and Ball is rubbing off on his teammates early. This feels like a game where the Hornets are going to get a little too comfortable and run away with things in the second half. I'll eat the chalk.

The Raptors have been doing it tough so far this season and they will be disappointed with last night’s painful loss to the Warriors, but they won’t get any sympathy from the Trailblazers who are finally starting to get on a roll after an inconsistent start to the season. The Raptors always seem like the value bet, but they just haven’t been able to get over the line this season despite being in winning positions and I think that trend continues against the Trailblazers as the Raptors are 7-15 ATS in the last 22 meetings overall. I’m sticking with Lillard and the Trailblazers to continue their nice form over the Raptors playing on zero days rest.
