Kate Constable: Warriors -11.5 vs. Suns
The Suns injury report includes all but one starter, Mikal Bridges. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Cam Payne are all officially out, so Phoenix is on it’s fourth-string point guard, Duane Washington, to run the offense tonight. Torrey Craig, Deandre Ayton and Landry Shamet are all listed as questionable, which makes me question where their scoring is going to come from if they all sit (I also really like the Suns team total under 108.5). Phoenix won the first two meetings against the Warriors this season, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they punted this game and tried to get healthy. The Warriors are also coming off two straight losses and now play the final game of their seven-game homestand before heading out on a lengthy road trip. In a revenge spot against a depleted Suns team, this game could be reminiscent of last night’s college football national championship. Oh, and the Dubs could get Steph Curry back tonight.

Dan Karpuc: Cavaliers -3.5 at Jazz
It was bound to happen at some point, but Utah’s defense has finally fallen off a cliff. After a red-hot start, the Jazz have gone 1-7 SU and 3-5 ATS in their last eight games and will be without Kelly Olynyk, Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the Cavs are finally fully healthy, and have gone 4-1 SU (2-2-1 ATS) in their last five contests. Plus, they have gone 26-11 ATS after a double-digit win over the last two seasons. This is Donovan Mitchell’s return to Utah, so expect some more magic from the star guard in this one. Also keep in mind that elite defender Evan Mobley will likely be tasked with holding Lauri Markkanen in check, which is a plus for Cleveland because he has the length and athleticism to match up with Utah’s leading scorer. Give me the Cavs to win and cover on the road.

Lucy Burdge: 76ers -11 vs. Pistons
The Sixers just blew out the Pistons, 123-111, and I think this game will be similar with Philadelphia covering this spread. The 76ers have also won four of their last five games and are 14-7 ATS at home. The Pistons, meanwhile, are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games, so I think the 76ers can cover this spread tonight at home against Detroit.

Brad Pinkerton: BetMGM NBA OGP Insurance Play of the Day

If you're not playing BetMGM's NBA OGP Insurance promo yet, you're leaving money on the table.
