Grizzlies -6.5 at Magic (-110, DraftKings)
The Grizzlies have won and covered the spread in their last four games, while the Magic have failed to cover the spread in three of their last four games. Orlando has also not covered in two of their last three at home, while the Grizzlies have covered in their last two road games so I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here.

Stony Brook -2.5 at Monmouth (-105, BetMGM)
So Monmouth is kind of a disaster with their 1-13 record (4-10 ATS) and having lost their last five games by much more than two points. Meanwhile, Stony Brook has won two of their last three and covered the spread in five straight games. With Monmouth’s struggles this year and this only being two points, I am absolutely taking Stony Brook to cover this spread.

Bruins ML at Kings (-160, Caesars)

The Bruins just won the Winter Classic in a really cool game against the Penguins and I see them keeping that momentum going against the Kings tonight. They've won nine of their last 13 games, so I think the Bruins will still be riding the high of the Winter Classic and can get a win over the Kings.

Bet this at Caesars and if it loses, you'll get refunded up to $1,250 in free bets!
