Charlotte Hornets at Cleveland Cavaliers (7 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: CLE -4

Total Points: 219.5

The Charlotte Hornets will travel to the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in an Eastern Conference matchup. This will be the final matchup as the Cavs won two of the first three games.

The major difference is on the defensive side as Charlotte is allowing 117.4 points in their previous five games while Cleveland is giving up 106.3 points in their last three games.

All in all, bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread as the better team and the under to hit in this game.

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic (7 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: ORL -1.5

Total Points: 232.5

The Indiana Pacers will head to the Amway Center to take on the Orlando Magic in an Eastern Conference matchup for the final time this year. They just faced off on Monday, and the Magic picked up a 119-103 home win.

Point guard Cole Anthony has been doing well in his last ten games as he is shooting 40.9 percent from the floor, 40.8 percent from the three-point line, and 91.7 percent from the free-throw line with 16.1 points 5.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 0.7 steals in that stretch.

Go with the Orlando Magic to cover the spread and sweep the season series as well as the under, as this number is a bit too high.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers (7:30 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: PHI -10.5

Total Points: 223

The New York Knicks will travel to the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia 76ers in an Eastern Conference matchup. This is the final game this year between one another as the Sixers won two of three games, including a 125-109 road win on Sunday.

Center Joel Embiid has been dominant in his last ten games as he is averaging 32.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.3 steals with a 47.8/37/83 shooting split in that stretch.

Go with the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread and the over to hit as the Sixers should hit more than their implied total. 

Utah Jazz at Houston Rockets (8 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: UTA -14

Total Points: 229.5

The Utah Jazz will head to the Toyota Center to take on the Houston Rockets in a Western Conference matchup. This is the final game between these teams as the Jazz have a 2-1 lead thus far.

Houston is currently on a 10-game losing streak and have no end in sight. Shooting guard Donovan Mitchell has been dominant in the previous three games as he is averaging 32 points, 2.3 rebounds, five assists, and 2.3 steals in that stretch.

Go with the Utah Jazz to cover the spread and dominate. Bet on the under as well as Houston is not an offensive powerhouse.  

Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks (8 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: MIL -4.5

Total Points: 225.5

Two of the top Eastern Conference teams are facing off as the Miami Heat are heading to the Fiserv Forum against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat are fifth in the NBA with 104.7 points allowed per game this year, while the Bucks are fourth in the NBA with 113.6 points scored per game.

Power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dominant in his last nine games as he is averaging 32.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, seven assists, 1.4 blocks, and 0.9 steals in 33.1 minutes per game.

Go with the Milwaukee Bucks and the over to hit in this game.  

Sacramento Kings at New Orleans Pelicans (8 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: NO -6

Total Points: 233

The Sacramento Kings will be playing inside of the Smoothie King Center to take on the New Orleans Pelicans in a Western Conference matchup.

This is the third of four games between one another as the Kings are 2-0 thus far. These offenses are extremely close as of late as Sacramento is averaging 117.3 points in their last four games while New Orleans is scoring 119.3 points in their previous three games.

Go with the New Orleans Pelicans to win as they just beat the Suns and Lakers on the road, and they should be able to cover here. Also, go with the over as both offenses are scoring the ball extremely well. 

Oklahoma City Thunder at Denver Nuggets (9 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: DEN -14.5

Total Points: 225.5 

We have some Western Conference action this season as the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Denver Nuggets will face off at Ball Arena. The Nuggets are riding a six-game winning streak right now, and the Thunder are dealing with some injuries.

Center Nikola Jokic has been a force in his last ten games as he is averaging 23.6 points, 13.8 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 0.6 blocks, and 1.1 steals on 54 percent shooting during that span.

All in all, this number feels a smidge too high, so go with the Thunder to cover as well as the under to hit here. 

Portland Trail Blazers at Phoenix Suns (10 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: PHO -13.5

Total Points: 228.5

The Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Phoenix Suns as they face off inside of the Footprint Center.

This will be the final of four games against one another, with the Suns winning two of the three games. Defensively in the last three games shows a major split as the Trail Blazers are allowing 125 points while the Suns are giving up 113 points.

Go with the Phoenix Suns to cover a large spread and the under to hit as the Suns should play a solid brand of defense in this game.
