PHOENIX @ MEMPHIS | 01/18 | 5:00 PM EST
PHOENIX -3.5
ANALYSIS: It’s been a while since we’ve last seen the Suns. They haven’t taken the floor in a week because they had too many players in the league’s health and safety protocols. The only rotation player they are not expected to have available in this game is Dario Saric, so they are almost at full strength. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, they will be missing their anchor in the middle in Jonas Valanciunas, who also is in the health and safety protocols. His loss might be too much for Memphis to overcome.

SAN ANTONIO @ PORTLAND | 01/18 | 3:00 PM EST
SAN ANTONIO -1
ANALYSIS: The Blazers are facing an uphill battle without Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) and CJ McCollum (foot). They have already struggled at home, posting just a 2-5 record there ATS. Meanwhile, the Spurs are healthy and are 5-1-1 ATS on the road. I just don’t think the Blazers have enough fire power left to pull this one out.

BOSTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 01/18 | 5:00 PM EST
N.Y. ISLANDERS +110
The Bruins are on the tail end of a back-to-back and they didn't show a whole lot in the way of offensive production against a lowly Devils team that took them to OT twice last week. The Islanders split their opening series against the Rangers but they were spectacular defensively in their win and that defense could give the Bruins some trouble as Boston tries to establish its footing. I like the value on NYI here.

SAINT JOSEPH'S @ LA SALLE | 01/18 | 4:00 PM EST
LA SALLE -1.5
ANALYSIS: My model says the Explorers cover almost 70 percent of the time, so you're getting extremely strong value at this number. Saint Joseph's has lost nine of its first 10 contests, with six of the setbacks being by double digits. A meeting with the Hawks is just what La Salle needs as it looks to halt a three-game slide after having won five of seven. Take the Explorers.

YESTERDAY 7:08 PM

MINNESOTA @ ATLANTA | 01/18 | 2:30 PM EST
ATLANTA -8
ANALYSIS: My model says the Hawks cover almost 70 percent of the time, so you're getting excellent value at this number. The Timberwolves have lost eight of their last nine contests and have been idle since Wednesday. In addition, Karl-Anthony Towns will be unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19 late last week. Atlanta's last home game was an 18-point victory over Philadelphia. Expect another comfortable triumph.

KANSAS @ BAYLOR | 01/18 | 9:00 PM EST
KANSAS +8.5
ANALYSIS: Baylor is blowing out everyone in its path - hence, the largest regular-season spread ever with Kansas as an underdog under Bill Self. Though the Bears’ betting numbers are eye-popping, not to be overlooked is the Jayhawks covering in three-fourths of their last 16 road games. Virtually the same rate applies to the previous 32 contests in the series for visiting teams. The Bears’ so-so foul shooting has yet to factor into a result but could here. The postponement of Saturday’s Kansas-Iowa State game was a blessing of sorts for the Jayhawks. It granted them more preparation time for this marquee matchup.

BOSTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 01/18 | 5:00 PM EST
BOSTON -140
The Boston Bruins are going to be a tough team all year long. They are physical, outstanding on offense and have a great goalie in Tuukka Rask. The Bruins have dominated this series, with a 7-1-2 record in the last 10 meetings. Rask is 17-5-1 with a 1.88 GAA and a .937 save percentage in 24 career starts vs. New York. The Islanders lost their starting goalie, Semyon Varlamov, in warmups prior to the last game and were crushed. The Bruins have won 18 of the last 21 matchups in New York.

BUFFALO @ PHILADELPHIA | 01/18 | 7:30 PM EST
PHILADELPHIA -150
ANALYSIS: The Flyers have won seven straight home games against the Sabres and eight of their last 11 games straight up. The Flyers have won both of their first two games this season while the Sabres lost their first two games of the season. The Flyers are known for their defense, backed up by Carter Hart, yet they’ve already scored 11 goals this season. Take the value in the Flyers at home.

WINNIPEG @ TORONTO | 01/18 | 7:00 PM EST
TORONTO -160
ANALYSIS: While Leafs No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen hasn't been overly sharp in his two starts thus far, he has never lost in regulation to the Jets in 12 outings. Winnipeg also will be missing its most talented player Monday in winger Patrik Laine, who had two goals and an assist in the team's lone game so far. He's dealing with an upper-body injury. The Jets have won just three of their past 11 as road dogs and two of the past seven overall in this series.

CAROLINA @ NASHVILLE | 01/18 | 8:00 PM EST
NASHVILLE +100
ANALYSIS: I'm a bit surprised the Preds are home dogs here (Carolina has dominated the series of late to be fair) as they are 2-0, beating a good Columbus team in both games, while the Canes are 1-1 and both were against the lowly Red Wings. Carolina remains without center Jordan Staal as he's in the COVID protocols. For Nashville, 15 players already have at least one point. The Predators are 5-2 in their last seven games as home underdogs.

+190 3-1 IN LAST 4 NHL ML PICKS
9:04 AM

MONTREAL @ EDMONTON | 01/18 | 9:00 PM EST
EDMONTON -105
ANALYSIS: Twice already this early season, we have cashed in taking a home team that lost the first of a two-game baseball-type series to win the second matchup. That's the position the Oilers are in here after losing 5-1 at home to Montreal on Saturday. On opening night, the Oilers were 5-3 home losers to the Canucks and then won the next game in Edmonton against Vancouver 5-2 (which we picked). I expect much of the same here. Oilers winger Zack Kassian should play after missing Saturday because his wife gave birth earlier in the day.

DALLAS @ TORONTO | 01/18 | 7:30 PM EST
DALLAS +5
ANALYSIS: Dallas is coming off a 117-101 loss to Chicago in which Luka Doncic had 15 assists, 16 rebounds and 36 points but was only 13-for-30 from the field. Tim Hardaway Jr. was out with a bad groin. The Mavericks are 7-0 ATS (+8.71 ppg) on the road after a game as home favorites in which Doncic dished out at least 10 assists, 7-0 ATS (+5.07 ppg) on the road following a home contest in which he was their high scorer but had a negative plus/minus and 9-0 ATS (10.11 ppg) on the road after a game in which Hardaway did not play. Grab the points.

PHOENIX @ MEMPHIS | 01/18 | 5:00 PM EST
PHOENIX -3.5
ANALYSIS: Memphis owns a winning streak against Phoenix, but this is their first meeting this season. The Grizzlies have not done well in this spot, as they are 0-9 ATS (-8.61 ppg) with rest after playing as home favorites when they've won two straight versus their opponent. The Suns are coming off a loss as road favorites in which Devin Booker attempted 21 shots and had a plus/minus of minus-15 points. Phoenix is 8-0 ATS (+13.19 ppg) in Booker’s professional career after a loss as a road favorite in which he played 15-plus minutes and had a negative plus/minus. Lay the short number.

SAN ANTONIO @ PORTLAND | 01/18 | 3:00 PM EST
UNDER 224.5
ANALYSIS: Portland is coming off a 112-106 win over Atlanta in which Damian Lillard scored 36 points while shooting 43.5 percent from the field. We mention this because the Trail Blazers are 0-6 OU (-21.83 ppg) after a game as favorites in which Lillard shot under 45 percent as their high scorer. Each of the six games stayed Under by more than 12 points, including two this season. As a team, the Spurs are 0-14 OU (-14.39 ppg) as underdogs after a game as home favorites in which they scored more than 50 points in the paint. We are on the Under.

MINNESOTA @ ATLANTA | 01/18 | 2:30 PM EST
OVER 227.5
ANALYSIS: The Hawks are coming off a 112-106 loss to Portland in which Trae Young was 7-for-23 from the field, including 1-for-9 from long distance. This is a big Over spot, as Atlanta is 7-0 OU at home after Young had a negative plus/minus, flying over by an average of 25 ppg. Minnesota is 10-0 OU (9.40 ppg) on the road after a loss as a favorite in which Karl-Anthony Towns had a positive plus/minus, 10-0 OU (14.70 ppg) following a home game in which it had three or fewer double-digit scorers, and 8-0 OU (+20.88 ppg) on the road after a loss in which it was outscored in the paint by double digits. We make the play the Over.

ANALYSIS: The Heat are 6-0 OU (+21.33 ppg) when Bam Adebayo has more free-throw attempts than shot attempts, 9-0 OU (+11.78 ppg) after a game as favorites in which Kelly Olynyk shot worse than 33 percent from the field and 6-0 OU (+17.00 ppg) at home after a game as home favorites in which Duncan Robinson had a negative plus/minus. With Detroit 9-0 OU (+9.06 ppg) following a win as an underdog against a team that is averaging less than four blocks per game, we make the play the Over.

MINNESOTA @ ATLANTA | 01/18 | 2:30 PM EST
ATLANTA -8
ANALYSIS: Yes, Trae Young is in a bit of a shooting slump, but this is no reason to play against Atlanta. The Hawks are 10-0 ATS when he shot worse than 35 percent in each of their last two games and had fewer than 12 assists in his previous contest. The Timberwolves are coming off a 118-107 home loss to Memphis as small favorites in which Malik Beasley led them with 28 points. In Karl-Anthony Towns’ career with Minnesota, it is 0-7 ATS on the road after a loss as a home favorite in which he was not the high scorer. We are laying the points.

+280 5-2 IN LAST 7 NBA ATS PICKS

ORLANDO 42 @ NEW YORK 51 | 01/18 | 12:00 PM EST
ORLANDO -2
ANALYSIS: Orlando played Brooklyn tough on Saturday, recording 28 assists and only 12 turnovers while six players reached double digits in points. The Magic are 12-0 ATS (+13.21 ppg) on the road when the line is within four of pick'em after a game in which their assist-to-turnover ratio was better than 1.88. The Knicks are 0-11 ATS (-13.95 ppg) at home when the line is within three of pick'em after playing as road underdogs against an opponent with an assist-to-turnover ratio greater than 1.40. The Magic have the line value.

NEW MEXICO @ UNLV | 01/18 | 9:30 PM EST
UNLV -12
ANALYSIS: These teams played on this same floor two days ago, UNLV winning by 23. The spread has risen only 1.5 points from that matchup. New Mexico has dropped seven of its last eight, with those losses coming by an average of 23.7 points. Look for the Rebels to win their sixth straight over the Lobos -- and cover.

PHOENIX @ MEMPHIS | 01/18 | 5:00 PM EST
MEMPHIS +5
ANALYSIS: Memphis won't have starting center Jonas Valanciunas, but the Grizzlies have Ja Morant back. They also have won four straight, and have gone six games without losing by more than four points. Phoenix hasn't played in a week due to COVID-19 issues. Look for Memphis to improve to 6-2 ATS in the last eight home meetings.

ORLANDO 49 @ NEW YORK 58 | 01/18 | 12:00 PM EST
ORLANDO -2
ANALYSIS: This is a quick turnaround for the Knicks after their stunning blowout of Boston on Sunday. Orlando has lost five in a row but played well in a seven-point loss at Brooklyn on Saturday. The Magic are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 road games, not to mention 5-1 ATS in their last six as favorites. Lay the small number.

SAN ANTONIO @ PORTLAND | 01/18 | 3:00 PM EST
SAN ANTONIO -1
ANALYSIS: The public likes the Trail Blazers at home, but the early line moved two points toward San Antonio. The Spurs have been a great bet on the road, while Portland has been a bad home bet. Back the healthier Spurs to improve to 6-2 on the road this season.

ST. JOHN'S @ CONNECTICUT | 01/18 | 2:30 PM EST
CONNECTICUT -9.5
ANALYSIS: UConn misses leading scorer James Bouknight, but the rest of the Huskies should have success against a St. John's team allowing opponents to shoot 48 percent from the field. UConn holds opponents to 40.7 percent shooting overall, 28.7 percent from deep. The Red Storm have not covered any of their last five road games. Look for UConn to cover its seventh straight overall.

BUFFALO @ PHILADELPHIA | 01/18 | 7:30 PM EST
PHILADELPHIA -1.5
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia is a real matchup problem for any opponent. The Flyers are strong offensive team that is very physical and has plenty of depth. Philadelphia dominated the Penguins in the first two games of the season, outscoring them 11-5. The Sabres haven't played well at Philadelphia, losing 14 of the last 17 road matchups. Buffalo is 2-10 in its last 12 Monday games while the Flyers have won seven of their last eight Monday games.

Dave Cokin

4% Carolina Hurricanes -115
Hurricanes off an upset loss to Detroit, although Carolina pretty well dominated territorially. This is one of the better teams in the league and I don't expect them to suffer many losing streaks. Nashville is off to a 2-0 start with back to back wins over Columbus. They probably ought to be 1-1 and I am not high at all on this season's Predators. The oddsmakers aren't either as they've installed my side as road chalk. But it's a very affordably favorite price and I'm banking on the better squad to be on fire off kind of an embarrassing loss. Hurricanes to grab the two points.

3% Baylor -8.5
Simply stated, Baylor is one of the two best teams in the country. And along with Gonzaga, I don't think there's anyone all that close to that top two. I've got Gonzaga and Baylor more than four points better than anyone else. Kansas, while still a very strong squad, is ten points away from the Bears and that's a neutral court rating. While home courts are obviously not what they usually are in the current state of affairs, it's still at least a coupe points and in some cases maybe a little more. Baylor lost just one home game last season, and it was to Kansas. In fact, the Jayhawks have won the last couple visits to Waco. I think that matters here as Baylor will be keyed up for this game. Matchup advantages are with the hosts as well. I expect this to be competitive for awhile but I see the Bears eventually pulling away and winning by double digits. Baylor minus the points.
