Kate Constable: Heat -12 vs. Rockets

The Rockets are coming off an epic collapse in the final minute against the Kings, losing by two after being up for the majority of the game. Houston loses a lot, but that one had to be extra deflating. Now it has to travel to Miami to play a Heat team whose offense looked efficient in its last game against the Pacers. Defensively, the Heat are giving up the second fewest points in the league, which is why I think Houston will have trouble putting up enough points to cover this spread. Lay the big number with Miami.

Dan Karpuc: Raptors -7 vs. Jazz

Now that the trade deadline has passed and the Raptors know that their roster will remain the same moving forward, it’s time for them to dig in and move up the Eastern Conference standings. Toronto has gone 5-2 SU (6-1 ATS) in the last seven home games and have covered five of the last six spreads as a home favorite. Utah is coming off a 143-118 loss to the Timberwolves, just shipped off Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley in a trade and therefore lost depth. Utah has also lost outright and failed to cover three games in a row.

Brad Pinkerton: Jazz-Raptors +130 One-Game Parlay

Lucy Burdge: Knicks +5.5 vs. 76ers

The Knicks have the league’s best ATS record on the road this season at 18-9 ATS and just covered the spread against Philadelphia in a 108-97 win on Sunday. Plus, the 76ers have failed to cover in their last two games and in five of their last eight at home, so I like the Knicks to cover the spread tonight in Philly.

Matt Horner: Tyrese Halliburton o12.5 Reb+Ast

The Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton has gone over this number in about 68% of his games played, so this seems like a low number. He is pretty much the lifeblood of the Pacers offense, and all-important to their chances at victory against the Suns with his playmaking abilities, so I expect him to go over this rebound + assists total.
