Team Favored and Spread: MIL -7.5

Total Points: 232.5

Oklahoma City is going to be without shooting guard Josh Giddey, center Derrick Favors, small forward Luguentz Dort, small forward Kenrich Williams, and shooting guard Ty Jerome are all out in this game.

The combination of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert should be enough to dominate this game so go with the Utah Jazz to cover the spread and the under to hit.

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers (7:30 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: CLE -4.5

Total Points: 210.5

The Toronto Raptors will head to the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a potential first-round matchup. The Cavs won the first two games in this matchup, and this will be the third game.

New Orleans Pelicans at Denver Nuggets (8 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: DEN -3.5

Total Points: 228

The New Orleans Pelicans will take a trip to Ball Arena to face off against the Denver Nuggets in a Western Conference matchup. This is going to be their fourth and final regular-season matchup, with the Nuggets winning twice thus far.

New Orleans is heating up as they are on a four-game winning streak. A huge reason has been the productivity of small forward Brandon Ingram, who has averaged 21.2 points, five rebounds, 5.2 assists, 0.6 blocks, and 0.5 steals in his previous ten games.

The Pelicans have covered in their last six road games against the Nuggets so go with the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread and the under to hit.
