Matt Horner: Knicks +150 vs. Grizzlies
I'm playing this because I think regression is coming sooner rather than later for the Grizzlies after their torrent run as of late. Steven Adams is questionable to go as well, which is something you should keep an eye on. Memphis has been terrible on the defensive end, and if Adams is out, it could be a big day for New York. The Knicks, while very difficult to trust, have been great defensively for most of the season. They have been playing better than their record might suggest as well, and they are at home here. I think they could win outright.

Lucy Burdge: Wisconsin +220 vs. Illinois
Wisconsin (17-3) has the advantage on Illinois (15-5) in season record, and the Badgers are 8-1 on the road. Wisconsin is also 10-1 SU versus good ball handling teams committing 14 or fewer turnovers per game this season, and 9-1 SU versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3-pointers per game. I really think Wisconsin can pull of this upset over Illinois tonight.

Dan Karpuc: Thunder ML +605 at Mavericks
As shown in their last game in Orlando against the Magic, this shorthanded Mavericks team could struggle heading into the All-Star break. With no Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) or Sterling Brown (foot), Luka Doncic is doing much more heavy lifting than usual while guys like Jalen Brunson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber are the next-best offensive options.
This Thunder team may be 15-34 overall and will be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but they’re stingy, young and hungry like their 15-9 road ATS record shows. The last time these two teams played in Dallas back on Jan. 17, the Mavs escaped with a narrow, 104-102, win when both teams were at full strength. I’m calling an OKC victory here with defensive-minded Thunder wing Lu Dort making life difficult for Luka, forcing the ball out of his hands more than usual.
