Bucks -6 at Lakers (-115, DraftKings)

The Lakers have failed to cover in three straight games, while the Bucks have covered four of their last six and are 25-15 ATS as the favorites this season. Plus, the Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against the Lakers and 5-1 ATS in their last six games against a team with a losing record. So I think Giannis and the Bucks will keep their momentum going tonight and cover this spread against LeBron and the Lakers.

UC Davis +115 (FanDuel) at UC Riverside

UC Davis has won seven of its last nine games and three of the last four on the road to bring its overall record to 14-9. UC Riverside has lost its last two games and three of the last four, dropping to 15-9 on the year. Plus, UC Davis is averaging more points per game than UC Riverside at 75.6 to 71.8, so I like UC Davis’ chances to pull off the upset here and get the road win.
