Magic -3 (-112)
The Magic aim to bounce back after a rough patch of losses and face a Spurs team in a similar struggle recently. While the Spurs have been trying to adjust to new players like De’Aaron Fox, Orlando will be motivated to improve at home, where it’ll look to start building momentum again. Expect a Magic win as they take advantage of the Spurs’ inconsistency.
Warriors -6 (-112)
With the addition of Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors are looking to solidify their chances in the Western Conference. Butler will debut for Golden State after being traded from the Heat, and the Warriors are hoping his presence will push them through a tough stretch. Despite showing some fight, the Bulls will struggle to contain Steph Curry and the Warriors’ high-powered offense. The Warriors should cover the -6 spread at home.
Nuggets -4.5 (-105)
The Nuggets are on a hot streak, winning five straight, and look to extend that run against the Suns. Despite the Suns’ solid victory over the Jazz, Denver’s roster remains a strong contender, especially with players like Nikola Jokic in top form. The Suns have had difficulty maintaining consistency without Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, so Denver should cover the -4.5 spread. Phoenix has yet to release an injury report, but if Durant doesn’t end up playing, this bet becomes more favorable.
Thunder -2 (-112)
In a showdown between the Grizzlies and Thunder, Oklahoma City comes in with the NBA’s best record, while Memphis has been firing on all cylinders, led by Jaren Jackson Jr. Despite Memphis’ hot streak, Oklahoma City has proven to be a solid and consistent team throughout the season, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way. Expect a close contest, but the Thunder should edge out the Grizzlies and cover the -2 spread.
Knicks +3.5 (-108)
The Knicks look to close the gap between themselves and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings. Despite injuries to key players like Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby, the Knicks have been playing well and getting strong performances from Jalen Brunson. Boston has been struggling at home lately, and the Knicks will look to capitalize on this, covering the +3.5 spread in a tough road game.
