Houston Rockets @ Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have Zach LaVine listed as questionable for tonight's game due to right shoulder soreness. He only returned to action on Jan. 5 and has played two games since. With a full day of rest, it's still likely that he'll play.

The Bulls’ offense can use him. Chicago has scored only 113.2 points per 100 possessions while shooting an effective field goal percentage of 52.3%. The Bulls are good at keeping turnovers down and should get extra opportunities at the foul line, with the Rockets fouling at a high rate.

Still, Houston has held teams to 111.7 points per 100 possessions and an effective field goal percentage of 52.1%. The Rockets won't allow many big shots and are typically good on the defensive glass.

On the other hand, the Rockets are an average offense that doesn't stand out much. Houston has scored only 114.9 points per 100 possessions and has shot a 53.8% effective field goal percentage. The Rockets could add some offensive rebounds to the box score, knowing the Bulls have allowed 28.7% of offensive rebounds. Overall, it's unlikely either team gets the best looks and scores at a high rate.

I'll ride the Under 216.5 in this matchup.

Bet: Under 216.5 (-110)

Vegas Golden Knights @ Colorado Avalanche

The night concludes with a heavyweight tilt in the Western Conference as the Golden Knights square off against the Avalanche. This game is slated for 10:00 p.m. ET from Ball Arena in Denver. 

I will play the under in this contest. For starters, there's a realistic chance that Adin Hill returns for Vegas tonight. Vegas' head coach, Bruce Cassidy, said he will likely return tonight against Colorado or tomorrow against Boston. If he's back, I love the under. It'll likely move to 6.0 goals, and I still love it there. Hill has been exceptional, going 10-2-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .933 SV%. 

The one constant in this game is Vegas' pedestrian offense. They're just 15th in scoring (3.2 GPG) and 14th on the power play (21.83%). They've also managed to score just 2.2 goals per game over their last six contests. I think we turn back the clock and see a scrappy, defensive game tonight in Denver. I'll play the under. 

Bet: Under 6.5 (-120)

2024 Sony Open

I haven't the foggiest idea how it is possible for the defending champion to sport 35-1 odds, but it's a blessing from the heavens. The Korean phenom seems to always rise to the occasion on courses of this type, and I was prepared to bet on him as low as 20-1 this week. Although Si Woo Kim has scuffled somewhat since the back half of last season, he is a streaky and sneaky pick to find his groove again on Oahu and pay off in a huge way.

Bets: Si Woo Kim Outright +3500 & Si Woo Kim Top-10 +360
