Dan Karpuc: Celtics -2.5 at Warriors
Right now, the Celtics are a “fade at your own risk” team. Over their last nine games, they’ve gone 8-1 SU and 8-1 ATS and just embarrassed the Suns by the score of 125-98 in Phoenix on Wednesday. Boston is clearly the best team in the NBA right now and Golden State will be playing without at least Andrew Wiggins, who would have been a very important defensive asset to have against Jaylen Brown and/or Jayson Tatum. Based on the recent form of both squads, I’m going to continue to back the C’s, even on the Warriors’ home court.

Lucy Burdge: Celtics -2.5 at Warriors
The Celtics have covered in eight of their last nine games and in 13 of their last 16, including three straight on the road, so I like the Celtics to keep their spread-covering success going against Golden State.

Kate Constable: Bulls -2 vs. Mavericks
The Mavericks come into Saturday's matchup with the Bulls on the second of a back-to-back having played the Bucks Friday night in Dallas. Unlike the Bulls, who have been wildly inconsistent this season, the Mavs have been very consistent -- that is, consistently bad on the road. Dallas is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and 3-8 SU. I don’t expect that to improve with the spot that they’re in playing on no rest Saturday. Chicago got a much-needed win over the Wizards on Wednesday, so I expect them to come into this game with a little more momentum.

Brad Pinkerton: Cavaliers -5.5 vs. Thunder
Let's wait and see what the line looks like after Cleveland's game Friday night, but barring any major injuries, I'll back the Cavs to cover as home favorites Saturday against the Thunder. Cleveland was 10-1 ATS at home with six straight home covers and 12-4 ATS as the favorite entering Friday night's matchup with Sacramento. Regardless of that outcome, these trends are strong enough for me to confidently back Cleveland again Saturday.
