Betting Lock of the Day
Sirois: Bulls -4 (-110 at FD Sportsbook)
Here’s a fun stat: the Chicago Bulls are the NBA’s third-best team against the spread. My model favors them by a 7.9-point margin over the lowly T’Wolves, who, mind you, are on a back-to-back. The T’Wolves are 6-9-1 ATS as road underdogs, too. The Bulls rank as the seventh most-efficient offense over the last three games, far ahead of the T’Wolves, who rank dead last. Chicago should handily cover a four-point spread at home.
Top Team Prop of the Day
Sirois: Heat Under 108.5 (-118 at FD Sportsbook)
The Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors have been playing some exceptional defense — and at a slow pace of play — over their last three games. The Raptors even rank first in defensive efficiency over that span; their opponents posted 109 (PHI), 103 (PHI), and 86 (MIN) points against them, respectively. The only team that went over this total, the 76ers, ranks 13th in offensive efficiency — far ahead of the 25th-ranked Heat. Full-game overs have only cashed in 36.4% of Miami’s games as home favorites, too, which points to further value on this team under.
Top Player Prop of the Day
Sirois: Lonnie Walker IV Over 13.5 Points (-106 at FD Sportsbook)
Walker dropped 24 points the last time he faced the Thunder, and that was with more of his teammates active in the matchup. The Spurs are incredibly shorthanded tonight, as DeMar DeRozan, Keldon Johnson, and Derrick White will all miss this game. That should allow Walker to cash his over with ease.
