Rockets at Knicks Prediction
My Pick: Knicks -6.5 1H
Under Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks have gone 79-50 ATS 1H against teams that allow their opponents to shoot 46% or better from the field. Luckily for New York, the Rockets have allowed their opponents to shoot 48% from the field, thus activating this trend. Houston is on the second half of a back-to-back, has been absolutely terrible on the road and the Knicks have gone 26-10-1 ATS 1H at home this year, the best ATS 1H record in the NBA. Losers of three games in a row outright, this is the perfect get-right spot for the Knicks and I expect them to get the job done at Madison Square Garden.
Kate Constable: Kings -4.5 (BetMGM)
The Kings host the Timberwolves tonight who are on a back-to-back after beating the Warriors last night. The Wolves have put together a nice string of wins, but the Golden State also threw that game away with turnovers late in the fourth quarter that cost them the game. Minnesota now has to face a Sacramento team that has been putting up huge numbers lately, thanks to its offense that ranks fourth in offensive rating over its last five games. Over that same period, the Kings defense has also stepped up. It ranks first in opponents fast break points allowed and opponents points off turnovers. Those are two areas that Minnesota looks to for quite a bit of its offensive production. Plus, our model has this as a five-star play. BetMGM has the best line at Kings -4.5, so grab it there because it’s gone up to -5 at most other books!
Matt Horner: Devin Booker Under 5.5 Assists
While he’s been doing his usual thing scoring the basketball at a high level, it seems Booker has taken his assist game down a notch recently. He hasn’t cleared this number in his last five straight games, and is averaging just 3.6 assists over that same time frame. I’ll wager on him staying below six again here tonight against the Jazz. You can get this for decent plus money right now at DraftKings, while other books have it around even money.
BETMGM: NBA OGP Insurance. If you're not playing BetMGM's OGP Insurance promos yet, you're leaving money on the table.

We've hit several of the NBA OGPs using the strategy of "middling" the alt total and alt spreads for each team to increase our chances of getting the insurance if the OGP doesn't hit. Also, DO NOT play these OGPs without the promo, as the insurance is the only reason these bets are valuable over time.
