Philadelphia 76ers -5 -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
Philadelphia has been one of the best teams in the NBA down the stretch, and part of the reason they have been successful is because of their defense. They are the eighth-ranked defense in the NBA and have some of the best defensive players in the league. The Hornets struggle against good defensive teams. When they play top 10 defensive teams, they are 9-20. The Hornets also do not have a center that can defend Joel Embiid. Philadelphia has the overall advantage in this game.
Utah Jazz Moneyline -125 at Draftkings Sportsbook
The Utah Jazz is a great regular-season team. They win against teams they should win against and can compete in the games against the best. Tonight they play the Golden State Warriors, who have been down since the beginning of the season. The Warriors are also missing Steph Curry, which gives the healthy Jazz an advantage. Without Curry, the Warriors struggle to score the ball. That has shown the few games he has sat out this season. The Jazz have the betting value tonight.
Miami Heat -2 -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
The Miami Heat finally has everyone on the floor. Keeping everyone healthy has been a problem for the Heat this year. When they are healthy, they look amazing, and when dealing with injuries, they have the depth to compete with the best teams in the league. Something that the Bulls do not have is the depth to hang in the late minutes with the best teams in the league. Expect the Heat to be one of the few teams in the NBA that can make a run deep into the playoffs.
