Kate Constable: Cavaliers ML at Celtics (+176, FanDuel)

The Cavs have had the Celtics' number this season, winning each of the two previous meetings against Boston. Both games went into overtime, where Cleveland was able to close things out. Boston loves to shoot 3s, but the Cavs are really good at defending the perimeter, holding the Celtics to under 30% from 3-point land in both games. Unless Boston gets extremely hot from deep, these are two evenly matched teams and Cleveland knows what it’s going to take to get the W, even on the road. You can find +176 at FanDuel right now!

Dan Karpuc: Magic ML at Bucks (+320, DraftKings)

Some very sharp minds here at BetQL (including Brian “The Prodigy” Hunt) have placed futures bets on the Magic to make the playoffs in the East. After a damaging loss to the Pacers on Saturday, Orlando got back on track with a quality road win over the Pelicans on Monday night and will now face the Bucks, who are on the second half of a back-to-back. Since Giannis Antetokounmpo just returned from an injury, I expect him to sit out (or play limited minutes) in this contest. I suspect the same deal for Khris Middleton, who has been on minute restrictions all season long since returning from his serious injury. Even if Milwaukee plays at full strength, the Magic are a feisty team that causes matchup problems for certain teams based on their depth and length (just ask the Celtics about that). The Magic have won 22 times outright as an underdog this season… let’s make it No. 23 tonight. You can get Magic as high as +320 along with a great signup offer below!

Matt Horner: Golden Knights ML (+125, PointsBet)

These are two of the better teams in the league, and it should be a pretty epic battle between two top conference foes. That said, I feel like Vegas is going to come out and play very well after being shut out in the last game against the Avs, and they are getting plus-money at home. I just think Vegas is the better value here. You can get the Golden Knights at +125 at PointsBet, so check out their welcome offer below and let's get a win in Sin City tonight.
