Leg #1. Grizzlies +3 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
This one has already moved on its opener of Grizzlies +3.5, and I’m grabbing the points while they last. The 76ers come into this one on a four-game win streak, though are just 2-2 ATS in that span covering against the Lakers and Spurs.
They now draw an equally hot Grizzlies team, who has won three straight, covering all three by an average of 7.3 points. I like for an aggressive Grizzlies team to keep this one close throughout and be in a position late to win outright.
Leg #2. Heat ML| +130 at DK Sportsbook
The Raptors ruined a perfect 4-0 homestand for the Heat on Saturday night, beating them 124-120 in triple overtime. In the loss, all starters except for Jimmy Butler had a +/- of below -8, as Gary Trent Jr. buried the Heat with 33 points.
As for the Celtics, a 10-point win on the road at New Orleans Saturday night marked the third win in four games, covering all three in the process. In this one, I like for the top-seeded Heat to get back on track and handle business before heading to Toronto late tonight for a rematch tomorrow.
Leg #3. Trail Blazers-Thunder Under 218.5 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
Two of the worst offensive teams in the league will go at it tonight in Oklahoma City, as the Thunder host the Trail Blazers. Both teams are looking to run out the clock on this season. The Thunder, currently at 100.8 points per game, are a performance away from dipping below 100. This is where they’ve hovered for much of the season, which is dead last in the league in terms of scoring.
For Portland, they come into tonight averaging 117.7 points per game over their last three, well above their season average of 108.9. The Thunder have also been putting up an uncharacteristic amount of points, scoring 110 on their previous two.
Look for regression to the mean as both teams assist in keeping this one below the posted total.
