Dan Karpuc: Hornets +450 (BetMGM) at Bucks

Coming off back-to-back victories against the Bulls and Heat, the Hornets have won four of six games outright and have made some huge strides defensively in that span. With Bobby Portis out, Charlotte will obviously have to key in on limiting Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday, but the Hornets dropped 51 first-quarter points on Milwaukee in a 138-109 victory last time they played. That most likely won’t happen again, but based on this price, I’m all over the Hornets.

Brad Pinkerton: Lakers +132 (FanDuel) at Knicks

I don't trust the Knicks in general, and now they have to tangle with LeBron & AD, who are well-rested and looking to take out some frustration after that tough loss at Boston on Saturday. Plus, BetQL points out that the Lakers are 10-6 SU in road games with a total of at least 230 this season (it's hovering around 230.5 tonight). I definitely like the Lakers +3 and will be playing the moneyline as well for the upset at MSG.

Kate Constable: Texas A&M +150 (DraftKings) at Arkansas

These are two teams that have been headed in opposite directions since conference play started. Texas A&M is 7-1 while Arkansas is just 3-5. Injuries have hindered the Razorbacks offense and caused it to be fairly one-dimensional. They are great at scoring around the rim, but aren’t a huge threat on the perimeter. Unfortunately for Arkansas, Texas A&M ranks seventh in the nation in mid-range FG% defense and second in near-proximity defense, according to Haslametrics. That’s going to make it tough for the Razorbacks to get the looks they want. The Aggies offense has the ability to be much more explosive, thanks to offensive rebounding and second-chance points. They’ve also had a lot of success this season against teams that allow them to get to the free-throw line, which is an area that they should be able to leverage against the Razorbacks.

Matt Horner: West Virginia +126 (Caesars) at TCU

The line has already started to move toward the Mountaineers, from +3.5 down to +2.5 at most sportsbooks right now. The absence of Mike Miles Jr. is huge for TCU, and the defensive pressure of West Virginia is going to give the Horned Frogs problems. I like them on the spread, but it's also definitely worth a shot on the ML.

Lucy Burdge: Indiana +135 (DraftKings) at Maryland

Indiana (15-6) is on a five-game winning streak, while Maryland (14-7) has won just four of the last eight. Indiana is also averaging 78.6 points per game compared to Maryland's 70.9 points per game., so I think Indiana can upset Maryland here as the underdog and get the win.
