This is a pretty reasonable line when you consider the Jazz have won 10 of their last 11 games. The Pelicans have also been hot, winning five of their last six. They haven’t been cheap wins, either, considering they took down the Nuggets, Pacers and Rockets during that stretch. The key injury in this game could be Jrue Holiday (elbow), who is listed as questionable. If he were to sit, that would be a huge loss for the Pelicans. Even if he does play, I’ll take the Jazz to cover based on how well they are playing.

BROOKLYN @ ORLANDO | 1/06 | 7:00 PM EST
1:14 PM
The Nets have lost their last five games, including disappointing defeats at the hands of the Knicks and Timberwolves. They have decided to rest Caris LeVert for this contest, further compromising their depth chart. Although the Magic are dealing with a big loss of their own in Jonathan Isaac (knee), I like their chances of covering at home behind Nikola Vucevic, who is averaging 20.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists across their last 11 games.

CHICAGO +9.5
CHICAGO @ DALLAS | 1/06 | 8:30 PM EST
1:12 PM
This will be a matchup between two teams that will likely be without their starting power forwards. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has already been ruled out for the Mavericks, while Lauri Markkanen (ankle) is doubtful for the Bulls. Porzingis has missed the last three games for the Mavericks, two of which were losses. Their last game was particularly alarming since they lost at home to the Hornets. The Mavericks are just 7-11 ATS at home this season, so I’ll take the points.

• Marco D'Angelo 4% OKLAHOMA ST (PICK)
  Love the spot we have tonight in the WVU-OK ST Game. First off WVU is on the road for the second time with just one days rest as they played Saturday in Kansas. BIg 12 road teams playing a second road game with just one days rest are just 8-19-1 ATS since 2011. That alone would have us looking at Oklahoma St but what's even better is look at the schedule set up for this game. WVU 2 games ago Upset #11 Ohio St. Then on Saturday they battled #3 Kansas to the wire before losing by 7 getting 10 points. Now they play unranked Oklahoma St with #22 Texas Tech up next at Home. This is what I refer to as a sandwich spot and we have made a living betting these kind of situations. This is a letdown spot for WVU. With the ESPN cameras on site tonight expect the building to be rocking at Oklahoma St. My numbers have Oklahoma St winning by 5-7 points as my BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH.

View Analysis

#306 5% OVER 48.5 Houston/KC Sunday 3:05 PM
The Wild Card round has seen over 65% of the games go Under the total since 2010 this round has seen 24 of the 36 games OVER (67%)! The rested team often presses the pace against a team that was in battle the previous week and add in an OT game and I know KC will do just that. The Chiefs are 12-5-1 O/U at home vs non-division. When on the road Deshaun Watson led his to teams to more FD compared to at home while also having a high completion % (68.5 on road) and a better sack%. The teams scored 55 points in this first meeting here which was a 31-24 and that will give Houston’s offense the confidence that they can score that much again.

I think we're getting value here on a Nuggets team that got embarrassed last time out. With the Hawks coming off a surprising performance, look for Atlanta to fall to 3-11 ATS in its last 14 games following an ATS win. Lay it.

UTAH @ NEW ORLEANS | 1/06 | 8:00 PM EST

The Pelicans are playing well, having won six of eight, thanks in part to Lonzo Ball's recent excellence. But I think they get a reality check tonight versus a Utah team that's won 10 of 11 and has lofty aspirations. The Jazz are still getting reasonable lines despite covering seven straight games, not to mention five in a row on the road. Lay it.

The Spurs have been playing competitive basketball lately and are pushing a faster pace, which has seen six of their last eight games go Over the total. They played at Milwaukee on Saturday night and lost 127-118, going Over for the fourth straight meeting. The Spurs have gone over in 12 of their 19 home games. Over is the play Monday.

5-0 IN LAST 5 NBA PICKS | +500
OKLAHOMA CITY +7.5
OKLAHOMA CITY @ PHILADELPHIA | 1/06 | 7:00 PM EST
2:32 PM
The Thunder faced the 76ers at home on Nov. 15 and posted a 127-119 win in overtime. Oklahoma City is more polished this time around, while Philadelphia is in a tailspin after losing all four games on its just-completed road trip. The Thunder are the best cover team in the NBA and are 12-5 ATS on the road as well. The Sixers have to turn it around soon, but until they do, I’ll keep betting against them.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ PHILADELPHIA | 1/06 | 7:00 PM EST

My model says that the 76ers cover the spread 63 percent of the time, so you're getting great value playing them at this point spread. Philadelphia went winless on its four-game road trip but is back home, where it has gone 16-2 this season. The Sixers have won each of their last two home games by at least 12 points. Take Philadelphia.

UNDER 228
MILWAUKEE @ SAN ANTONIO | 1/06 | 8:30 PM EST
3:05 PM
The Over has been a profitable play in Spurs games all season long, but there's a split that matters. While the Over is 21-13 overall in Spurs games, it's only 7-7 when the Spurs are underdogs like they are tonight, and 2-3 when they're home dogs. With Giannis playing, that improves the Bucks defense even more, and this total is a little too high.

W. VIRGINIA @ OKLAHOMA ST. | 1/06 | 9:00 PM EST

West Virginia is one of the best defensive teams in the country, but offensively it can be brutal to watch. The Mountaineers just cannot shoot the rock, and I have a difficult time trusting bad offensive teams as road favorites against in conference play against competent opponents like this Cowboys squad.

SACRAMENTO -10.5
GOLDEN ST. @ SACRAMENTO | 1/06 | 10:00 PM EST
2:12 PM
This game shouldn’t be close considering all of Golden State's injuries. The spread seems large, but the Warriors simply don’t have the healthy talent to keep up with any team. The Kings were a five-point favorite in their meeting on Dec. 15 and won by 21. Look for a similar margin of victory in this one.

DENVER -7.5
DENVER @ ATLANTA | 1/06 | 7:30 PM EST
2:07 PM
The Nuggets have covered the spread just once in their last eight games. Atlanta is coming off what could be its biggest win of the season as it defeated Indiana while being almost a double-digit underdog. I like the Hawks to regress hard against the 24-11 Nuggets. I expect Denver to outplay this young Atlanta team on both sides of the court from start to finish.

9-1 IN LAST 10 NBA PICKS | +792
PHILADELPHIA -7.5
OKLAHOMA CITY @ PHILADELPHIA | 1/06 | 7:00 PM EST
2:02 PM
The Thunder have been on an absolute tear, winning nine of their last 10 overall and winning outright in their last three games as underdogs. The 76ers went winless on a four-game road trip after defeating Milwaukee at home on Christmas Day. I like Philadelphia to dominate this game and start a winning streak as it plays four of its next six at home.
