The Washington Wizards have the statistical advantage in this matchup. They have a slightly better offense and defense than the Magic, and they have had success against the Magic in the past. That said, they have dropped five of their last seven, and while they are supposed to get back Kristaps Porzingis, they do lose Kyle Kuzma. Lay the small number.

The Philadelphia 76ers are a large point spread favorite to win this game. The 76ers have been in excellent form, winning all of their last eight games and boast impressive trends in this series. Additionally, they have a slight advantage in the assists turnovers category, while the Bulls have a slight advantage in the rebounding and shooting percentage categories. That said, are the 8.5 points too much? Based on their last two, it looks like an easy call on Phil, but Chi doesn't get blown out a lot. Look for the Bulls to keep this within the number.

The Boston Celtics have a slight advantage in several key areas, including assists to-turnovers ratio and shooting defense. With their recent strong performance and considering the Jazz's struggles at home, the Celtics are the better pick to win this game. Take the Celtics -4.5 and maybe toss a few bucks on the total going Over 232.5.

The Warriors and Clippers have similar records, and both teams have been playing well lately. However, the Warriors have struggled on the road, losing their last five games ATS and SU. Additionally, the Clippers have a strong home record, winning four of their last six home games and having a 4-1 record SU in their last five home games against the Warriors. With the Clippers playing at home and having a healthier roster, they have a good chance of winning this game. Therefore, we predict that the Clippers will win this game and cover the point spread.

Based on the statistical data provided, the Los Angeles Lakers have the advantage in rebounding, while the New Orleans Pelicans have the edge in assists turnovers. Both teams have similar shooting percentages, but the Lakers have been more consistent in their recent games. The Pelicans have struggled to cover the spread in their last ten games (3-7 ATS), while the Lakers have covered the spread in three of their last four games. Considering the injury updates, the Lakers will have Anthony Davis back in the lineup, while the Pelicans will be without their star player Zion Williamson. Ingram's status is uncertain, and the Pelicans could struggle without their top two scorers. Therefore, the Los Angeles Lakers are predicted to win the game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Both teams have been in great form recently, making it difficult to predict the winner. However, the Kings have been slightly better on the offensive end, averaging over 121 points per game and shooting over 50% from the field. Therefore, our expert predicts that the Sacramento Kings will cover the spread and win outright in a high-scoring game.

This is more of a feel play. The Hawks have won seven out of their last ten head-to-head matchups against the Wizards and I think they get the mnoey tonight.

Reviewing the statistical data and trends, it's clear that both teams are evenly matched, with Memphis having a slight advantage in assists turnovers and shooting percentage, while Golden State has the advantage in rebounding. However, Golden State has been slightly better in their last few games and has historically had the upper hand against Memphis. It’s not a strong play, but with that in mind, I predict that Golden State will win this game outright and cover the spread. Additionally, I predict that the total will go over, as both teams have been scoring well recently and the total has gone over in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head matchups.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a struggling team, with a record of 31-34 and a mediocre ATS record of 31-31-3. However, they have some positive trends on their side, including a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven games and a 5-2 SU record in their last seven games. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, have a strong record of 38-25 but a slightly below-average ATS record of 30-31-2. Looking at the power stats, the Grizzlies have a slight advantage in rebounds and shooting percentage. However, the Lakers have been playing well defensively, with the total going under in six of their last seven games. Additionally, the Lakers have a strong record against the Grizzlies, with a 4-2 ATS record in their last six home games against the Grizzlies and a 5-1 SU record in their last six home games against the Grizzlies. Considering all of this information, I believe the Los Angeles Lakers will win this game, covering the spread of -2. The total is set at 226.5, and I believe the total will go under, with both teams struggling offensively lately and the Lakers playing well defensively.

The Statinator predicts that the Portland Trail Blazers will come out on top in Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Trail Blazers have a better shooting percentage and more assists per game than the Pistons, which should have them on the right side of the line. Additionally, the Trail Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against the Pistons. Although the Pistons have been playing better recently with a 4-2 ATS record in their last six home games. They are currently on a seven-game losing streak overall, and with the infirm list being competitive tonight is unlikely.

The Clippers have lost five games in a row, but the Grizzlies have struggled on the road and have lost nine of their last ten away games. Memphis is also dealing with several key injuries, including the absence of Brandon Clarke due to an Achilles injury and Steven Adams' knee injury. The Clippers have a solid 19-14 home record and are desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. With the home-court advantage and a favorable matchup against a struggling Memphis team, we predict that the Los Angeles Clippers will win and cover the spread.

Statistical analysis suggests that the Utah Jazz have a slight advantage over the Oklahoma City Thunder in most categories. Although the Thunder have a decent record against the spread in their last eight games in this series, they have lost the last eight straight up. Additionally, the Thunder will be missing key players due to injuries. Lay the small number on the Jazz.

These two teams have similar offensive numbers, with Toronto averaging 112.59 points per game and Washington averaging 113.13. On the defensive end, Toronto allows 111.94 points per game, while Washington allows 113.23. Rebounding is also close, with Toronto averaging 42.96 rebounds per game and Washington averaging 43.91. However, the Wizards have a slight edge in assists and turnovers, which could give them an advantage.
Looking at the betting odds trends, the Raptors are 5-0 SU in their last five games against the Wizards when playing on the road. They are also 5-1 SU in their last six games overall and have won eight of their last 10 games. On the other hand, the Wizards have struggled recently, going 5-5 in their last 10 games. They are also 0-5 SU in their last five games when playing at home against the Raptors.
Taking all of this into consideration, I believe the Raptors will come out on top in this game. They have been playing well recently and have a good track record against the Wizards, especially when playing on the road.

Based on the power stats and betting odds trends, this game looks to be a close matchup between two teams that have been inconsistent this season. The Lakers have the advantage in shooting percentage, but the Thunder have the advantage in assists and turnovers, and rebounding.

Ultimately, the key factor in this game will likely be the absence of LeBron James for the Lakers. Without his presence on the court, the Lakers will struggle to keep up with the Thunder, who have a solid home record and will be motivated to secure a win after several recent losses.

Considering all of these factors, our expert bets are prediction is that the Los Angeles Lakers will win this game, covering the spread and the total going under.

It's not very often that I bet on a team based on one player but if you watched Damian Lillard drop 71 in his last game and listened to his post game interview you know this guy is all business. There are very few game changes in today's NBA, but this guy is one of them. Reporters have been questioning if the team is in tank mode and he boldly stated "Not as long as I'm here". He's one of few that can talk the talk and walk the walk. Portland wins straight up in the Bay Area Tuesday night as +4 underdogs!

The Boston Celtics are in excellent form, winning six out of their last seven games, with their only loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have also been playing well have winning five straight games.The Celtics have an advantage in assists-to-turnovers ratio and rebounding, while the 76ers have the edge in shooting percentage differential. The injury to D. Dedmon could also be a significant factor in the outcome of the game. Overall, it should be a closely contested game, but I'm banking on the Celtics to prevail and get the cover.

The Nets have been playing well lately, winning three out of their last five games, and they have the statistical advantage in this matchup. The Bulls have struggled to score in their last few games, and they will need to improve their offensive production to have a chance against the Nets. Additionally, the Nets have been shooting the ball well and have the advantage in rebounding. Take the Nets

With Tatum and Brown playing in the all star game, they got no break to enjoy while the Pacers enjoyed a nice getaway from the court. If the Pacers last eight road games had a point spread of +8.5, they'd have covered five of those contests. I believe we have the same odds of winning (62.5%) tonight. I'm betting Indy plus the points!

Given both teams' recent performance and statistics, the Phoenix Suns seem to have a slight advantage, particularly in the assists and turnovers category. However, the game is expected to be close, with the line currently set at Phoenix Suns -1.5. The Clippers step up here and get the outright win as a tiny road dog. 

I'm expecting LeBron to be back for this game and but the team probably needs some time to establish chemistry together, before their offense is in full flight. The trends in recent meetings point to an under and that's exactly where my money is landing.
