The Blazers will head to Dallas after pulling off a big 117-107 upset in Houston. They've looked better lately after a horrible start to their season. It looks like Porzningis' knee is still bothering him so he might miss this game. Whether he plays or not, I think we're getting a few too many points, since the line move after it opened at -5.5, with a very talented Portland team that should be able to keep up with Dallas. Let's take the points with the Blazers on the road.

Iowa (12-5) will host #19 Michigan (11-5) after beating Northwestern 75-62. they had a nice 67-49 victory over Maryland before that. They're 7-1 straight up at home and 5-2 ATS as home favorites and have a good history against Michigan. Michigan's 0-4 straight up on the road and 0-4 ATS as road dogs this year. They're in another tough spot against a very good home team. Let's lay the points with Iowa at home.

The Hawks (9-32) will head to San Antonio (17-22) after beating the Suns 123-110. Both these teams have struggled this season but looking a bit better now. The Spurs may have shown more improvement than Atlanta but they're still just 3-11 ATS as home favorites and I'm not laying this many points with them anytime soon. Let's take the points with the hawks on the road.

The Wizards will head to Toronto after losing 115-106 in Chicago.they've been pretty inconsistent but came up with some big wins over Boston, Denver, and Miami recently. The Raptors have been great at home and are getting healthier again but it looks like VanVleet might miss this game and I'm still not willing to lay this many points with them. Washington managed to keep the game close last time these 2 met, losing 122-118 and I think they can keep this one within double-digits again. Let's take the points with the Wizards on the road.

The Nuggets (28-12) will head to Golden State (9-33) after beating the Hornets 100-86 for their 7th win in their last 10 games. They're the much more talented team and should be able to get the job done again despite having played last night and being down a couple of key players. Harris, Murray and Millsap look like they'll be missing this one. The Knicks will have the rest and home-court advantage but they're a bad team and lost 9 of their last 10 games. Let's lay the points with the Nuggets on the road.

The Jazz (28-12; 22-18 ATS) will head to New Orleans (15-26; 19-20-2 ATS) after beating Brooklin 118-107 for their 10th straight win. They're the better team and 8-5 ATS as road favorites The Knicks are 5-3 ATS as home dogs so not bad in that spot but I don't think they're getting enough points here and they're pretty banged up. Holiday, Miller, Williams and Williamson out. Reddick, Favors, Okafor and Ingram will be game-time decisions but are all listed as probable so we might get a better line when they're announced as active but I don't mind laying the 4.5 points with the Jazz. Let's lay the points with the Jazz on the road.

The Suns (16-24) will head to New York (11-30) after a tough 123-110 loss in Atlanta. The numbers aren't great but Phoenix has dealt with injuries and suspensions all year and almost back to full strength now. Oubre's out with a concussion but Rubio's not on the injury report and is expected to be back for this one. They're the more talented team and a much better team when Rubio's on the court and that puts them in a great bounce-back spot against one of the worst teams in the league. The Knicks have lost 6 of their last 7. They snapped a 5 game losing streak by upsetting the Heat 124-121 but then got blown out 128-102 by the Bucks. Let's lay the points with the Suns on the road.

The Penguins will head to Boston after beating the Wild 7-3 for their 4th straight win and 8th win in their last 10 games. They just got Crosby back and have been the much hotter team, even when he was hurt. It looks like Rask might miss this game with a concussion. Whether he plays or not, there's way too much value on the much hotter team. The Bruins have struggled lately and lost 5 of their last 10 games. Let's go with the Penguins on the road.

The Capitals (31-11-5) will host the Devils (17-22-7) after beating the Hurricanes 2-0. They've looked like 2 different teams depending on which goalie gets the start. Holtby's been a mess but lucky for us, it looks like Samsonov's earned himself the starting job. He's been great allowing just 6 goals in his last 5 games. They'll be looking for some payback after New Jersey beat them 5-1 last time they met with Holtby starting that one. Washington beat the Devils 6-3 in the meeting before that with Samsonov getting the start. Let's take the Capitals on the puck line.

Memphis (13-3) will host Cincinnati (10-6) after beating USF 68-64. They barely covered that one but are a much better team at home where they're 9-1. Cincinnati's is just 1-3 on the road and I don't think they improve that number today. Memphis is the better team and will have a big home-court advantage. Let's lay the points with Memphis at home.
