Pacers +8 vs. Celtics (-110, DraftKings)
The Celtics will likely come out of the gate hot in the second half of the season and they could get the win here, but I see the Pacers keeping this close and covering this spread. They covered the spread against Boston in a 117-112 win in December, and the Celtics have failed to cover the spread in three of their last five road games. The Pacers are also 19-13 ATS at home, so I like the Pacers to cover here.

Nuggets ML at Cavaliers (+122, Caesars)

The Nuggets finished the first half of the season on a three-game winning streak, so they have some positive momentum heading into the second half. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are coming off of a loss. Plus, Denver has won three of the last five meetings with the Cavaliers, including a 121-108 win over them in January. So I think the Nuggets can get the victory over the Cavaliers once again here and you can get their moneyline at +122 at Caesars along with a great welcome offer below!

UCLA -6.5 vs. Utah (-110, PointsBet)

UCLA has covered in four of its last five games, and the Bruins are now 15-9 ATS as favorites and 5-2 as road favorites. Plus, UCLA has also covered in four of its last six meetings with Utah, so I like the Bruins to cover once again. The line is -7 at most places, but you can get still get UCLA -6.5 (-110) at PointsBet if you hurry!
