There are 10 NBA games on the slate for us to make money on tonight. Last night was a good night for favorites as they went 4-2, with totals going 3-3. The biggest money line winners were the Nets at +250 and the Toronto Raptors at +194.
Tonight's NBA card doesn't have many must-watch games, but the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers meet tonight at the Staples Center. The Jazz have won eight games in a row may be without Mike Conley. The Clippers have won four straight but they are without Paul George tonight along with Kawhi Leonard is questionable. Keep an eye on this line throughout the day. If Leonard plays, I like the Clippers on their home court. When these two teams met earlier this year the Jazz won the game straight up as a 3.5-point home underdog.
New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic (+4.5) Total: 209.5
What a time to be alive as the New York Knicks are laying points on the road. Granted, the team that they are facing has been terrible this season but the Knicks can improve their record to 15-15 tonight in Orlando. The Magic may be the most injury-riddled team in the league, Evan Fournier is questionable for tonight and Aaron Gordon and Cole Anthony are both out.
The total on this game opened up at 209.5, and to my surprise the total has climbed to 210 and even 210.5 at some shops. The Knicks have played better on offense as of late, and over the course of their last three games they have averaged 117 points per contest. That's likely why this line is creeping up, but I wouldn't trust it. The Knicks have played 15 road games this season with the under cashing 73% of the time.
The Pick:
