Dan Karpuc: Hawks +100 (BetMGM) at Jazz
While Utah has been a solid team on its home floor, I’m going to go with the Hawks to pull the upset on the road. Atlanta ranks second in Offensive Rating on the road and should benefit from the return of Clint Capela. With their starting center in the lineup, the Hawks have gone 20-16; without him, they’ve gone 6-10. Coming off a dominant, 132-100 win over the Suns in which they shot 57.1%, including 19 of 33 (57.6%) from 3 off of 32 assists, the Hawks' offense should have a ton of confidence heading into this one. I have faith in Trae Young and Dejounte Murray to get the job done against a Utah team that I expect to start regressing soon.
Kate Constable: Magic +170 (DraftKings) at T'Wolves
The Wolves have been winning quite a bit lately and are actually starting to look like a decent team. The Magic, however, know how to keep games close against decent teams. They’re coming off a mini series with the Sixers in which they went 1-1 with their win coming by 10 points in Philly. In Orlando’s previous meeting with Minnesota in early November, the Wolves won by 18 on the road, but that was with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns on the floor. The Magic were also without Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz or Wendell Carter Jr. in the lineup, so this is a drastically different Orlando team than earlier in the season. The Wolves also have a home and away series with Denver, starting Sunday. That’s a big Western Conference and divisional matchup that I could see being a look-ahead spot for Minnesota, which is why I like the Magic to win outright.
Brad Pinkerton: Magic +170 (DraftKings) at T'Wolves
Agreed with Kate on this upset, which will be my pick tonight in DraftKings' "Up 10 Early Win" NBA promo -- opt in to the promo, select any NBA team's moneyline, apply the "Up 10 Early Win" token and get paid early if your team gets up by 10 points, even if they don't win the game! Underdogs are the best spot to use this token, as you're only asking them to build a 10-point lead, but I think Orlando can pull another upset, as the Magic have been known to do this season. New DraftKings users can also get a ton of bonus bets using the offer below!
Lucy Burdge: Dartmouth +110 (Caesars) vs. Brown
Dartmouth (8-13) might be the home underdog against Brown (10-10), but the Big Green have won four of their last six games and five of their last seven at home. Meanwhile, Brown is coming off of a loss and has now lost four straight on the road. Dartmouth has been playing well lately and I think it can get the home win over Brown in this one.
