WASHINGTON @ BUFFALO | 01/15 | 7:00 PM EST
WASHINGTON -135
The Caps won this matchup last night 6-4 after taking an early 4-1 lead. Peter Laviolette’s system of activating the defensemen clearly worked wonders for the Caps offense. Linus UIlmark and Vitek Vanecek are likely to get the starts tonight in net with these teams playing last night. The Caps looked very strong, especially on the power play where they scored on one of their two opportunities. The Caps have won 13 of their last 17 games against the Sabres after last night, take the value in the Caps.

MEMPHIS @ MINNESOTA | 01/15 | 8:00 PM EST
MEMPHIS +2
ANALYSIS: The Timberwolves are going to be short-handed with Ricky Rubio, Juancho Hernangomez and Jake Layman all out, Meanwhile, Ja Morant (ankle) is listed as questionable, so his potential return would obviously be huge for the Grizzlies. Even if he doesn’t play, though, the Grizzlies just beat the Timberwolves by 11 points Wednesday. Also, they are 4-1 ATS on the road this season. If Morant returns, they could win this going away. If not, I still think they could emerge victorious in a close contest.

CHICAGO @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 01/15 | 8:00 PM EST
CHICAGO -1
ANALYSIS: Don’t let their 4-7 record fool you. These aren’t the same bumbling Bulls that we saw last season. New coach Billy Donovan has them playing well despite COVID-19 limiting their depth chart. They are 5-1 ATS on the road and should receive some reinforcements for this matchup with Otto Porter Jr. and Lauri Markkanen listed as probable. Meanwhile, the Thunder are just 1-4 ATS at home. Add in this small line and rolling with the Bulls is appealing.

NEW YORK @ CLEVELAND | 01/15 | 7:30 PM EST
NEW YORK -2.5
ANALYSIS: Injuries continue to decimate the Cavaliers, who have had to play four straight games without Collin Sexton (ankle), Darius Garland (shoulder) and Kevin Love (calf). During that stretch, they went 1-3 and averaged only 90.5 points a night. All three players will be out Friday, and the Knicks have allowed the fourth-fewest points per game in the league, so expect the Cavs to continue to struggle to score. The last time these to teams met, Sexton and Garland played and the Knicks still won, 95-86. The Knicks are in a favorable spot to cover here.

SIENA @ RIDER | 01/15 | 7:00 PM EST
SIENA -7
ANALYSIS: The Saints have won 14 straight dating to last season, and they're picked to win the MAAC again this year. Rider was projected to finish last. Even if reigning MAAC Player of the Year Jalen Pickett (hamstring) doesn't play, Siena has more than enough talent to cover this spread. The Saints got a late start to the season due to COVID-19 issues -- they've only played four games -- so there's no chance of a letdown. Lay it.

CHICAGO @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 01/15 | 8:00 PM EST
CHICAGO PK
ANALYSIS: It's the return to Oklahoma City for Bulls coach Billy Donovan, formerly of the Thunder. Chicago gets two starters back from COVID/injury in Lauri Markkanen and Otto Porter. Thunder starter Darius Bazley is in question with a sprained ankle and seems unlikely to play. Chicago is on a five-game ATS winning streak, while OKC is on a four-game ATS home losing skid.

NEW YORK @ CLEVELAND | 01/15 | 7:30 PM EST
NEW YORK -2.5
ANALYSIS: The Knicks have lost four straight, but they should build off their strong fourth quarter versus the Nets. Cleveland remains without Collin Sexton and Darius Garland, while the Knicks could get Reggie Bullock (hip) back. New York handled the Cavs by nine points last month and should be able to cover this small number.
