Dan Karpuc: Hornets +6.5 at Timberwolves (unlocked game)
This is my favorite bet of the day by a considerable margin. BetQL is listing this as a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ value and projects Charlotte at +0.5. Under coach James Borrego, the Hornets have gone 28-12 ATS after three straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 47% or better. Charlotte has also gone 17-9 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season, and the Hornets have covered three consecutive games on the road (and six of their last seven). The Timberwolves have won and covered the spread in five straight home games, but I’m very happy to roll with LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, Miles Bridges and Co. on the road in this one.

Lucy Burdge: Hawks +1.5 vs. Cavaliers
The Hawks are 15-13 ATS this season and they’ve covered two of their last three spreads at home. Some trends favoring the Hawks here are that J.B. Bickerstaff is 12-28 ATS after scoring 100 points or less while coaching Cleveland, and the Hawks are 21-7 ATS versus poor foul-drawing teams attempting 24 or fewer free throws per game in the second half of the season while at home the last two years. I think the Hawks can handle this spread as the home underdog tonight.
Matt Horner: Clippers-Suns Over 222 (unlocked)
Los Angeles is on the second night of a back-to-back traveling to Phoenix, and that usually never bodes well for defense. With the roster changes recently to the Clips as well, I would expect the Suns to score at will as they have pretty much all season against some players that might not be keyed-in just yet. In their last five games, both of these teams are 4-1 O/U, while Los Angeles has seen their defense crumble to pieces over that span. Even though Phoenix has a strong defense, I think the Clippers offense can get enough combined with the Suns' scoring to push past a 222 total.
Nick Ashooh: Celtics-76ers Under 210 (unlocked)
Both teams are in the middle of some of their best basketball of the season. The Sixers are 7-3 SU over their last 10 games, while the Celtics have won nine of their last 10. Add that to the fact that both teams have played lock-down defense, with the Sixers allowing just 102.9 points per game over this stretch, and Boston putting a lid on everyone allowing just 94.3 a game over their last 10. Oh, in case you're wondering, both teams have gone under around 60 percent of the time this season, so that certainly makes the under a strong lean again.
