Maple Leafs at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 5, Flyers 2

Moneyline

The MAPLE LEAFS (-130) are a solid play as moderate favorites, as they have dominated this series in recent seasons with 8 consecutive wins.

Toronto has been playing well in general, going 12-3-1 in the past 16 games dating back to Feb. 13 while winning 6 of the past 7 outings on the road.

The Flyers (+110) are just 1-3-0 in the past 4 games, while allowing at least 6 goals in each of the setbacks.

Puck line/Against the spread

The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+180) is a strong play laying the goal-and-a-half. Toronto came in last week and won by 4 goals, and it has covered the puck line in 6 of the past 8 victories in this series, with each of those wins by at least 3 goals.

The Flyers +1.5 (-225) are 5-2 in the past 7 games on the puck line as underdogs, including 2 outright victories. But Philly can’t be trusted against Toronto lately.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (+100) is worth playing at even-money.

We had a combined 8 goals in the meeting Thursday between these teams, and Philly goaltending has coughed up at least 6 goals in 3 of the past 4 outings. The Over is 3-1 in those outings.

For the Leafs, the Over has cashed in the past 2 games, with Toronto scoring 10 goals while allowing 7. On the road, the Leafs have hit the Over at a 6-4-2 clip in the previous 12 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (23-45) kick off a 4-game road trip Monday against the Sacramento Kings (38-28). Tip-off from Golden 1 Center is at 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Kings lead 2-0

The Grizzlies have lost 2 games in a row and 4 of their last 5. They are coming off a 118-112 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday but covered the 10.5-point spread as underdogs. They are 13th in the conference and trail the No. 10 seed for a play-in berth by 13 games.

The Kings have won 4 of their last 6 but had a 2-game winning streak snapped in their last outing, a 98-91 home loss to the New York Knicks Saturday as 3-point favorites. They are 6th in the West, holding on to the final guaranteed playoff spot by percentage points over the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 109, Grizzlies 102

Moneyline

The Grizzlies have been better on the road (15-18) than at home (8-27) this season and won 3 of their last 7 games, but they are 5-18 in their last 23.

Meanwhile, the Kings (-600) have won 4 of their last 6 games and are 8-5 in their last 13.

The Kings won both meetings in Memphis earlier this season, 123-92 Dec. 31 and 103-94 Jan. 29.

There is no reason to believe a banged-up Grizzlies squad will beat a healthy Kings team in the middle of the playoff race.

But backing the Kings at -600 doesn’t make for a good bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

Each team covered the spread in 1 of the 2 meetings this season in Memphis.

The Grizzlies are 33-35 ATS overall this season and 19-14 ATS on the road. Of their last 8 losses, 4 have been by more than 10 points.

Only 3 of the Kings’ last 8 wins have been by more than 10. They are 13-19 ATS at home.

Expect the Grizzlies to keep this within 10 points.

BET GRIZZLIES +10.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Neither of the previous 2 meetings this season reached the projected total for this matchup.

Four of the Kings’ last 6 games have had totals higher than 221 points.

But the Grizzlies have only had 1 of their last 5 games go higher than 221 points. They have averaged 100.8 points per game over their last 5 contests.

BET UNDER 221.5 (-115).

Atlanta Hawks at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Atlanta Hawks vs. Los Angeles Lakers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Hawks (30-37) make the 4th stop of a 5-game road trip on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers (37-32). Tip-off at Crpyto.com Arena is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Lakers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Hawks lead 1-0, winning 138-122 on Jan. 30 at State Farm Arena and covering a 6-point spread as the Over (248) comfortably cashed

The Hawks surprised the Clippers 110-93 as a 9.5-point underdog on Sunday as the Under (220.5) cashed. That halted a 3-game skid for Atlanta, while also covering for the 1st time in 4 games. The Under is on a 5-1 run for the Hawks, while the total has gone low in 10 of the past 13 games.

The Lakers suffered a 128-121 loss at home against the Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles has won just 3 of the past 7 games, while going just 4-8 against the spread (ATS) in the past 12 outings since Feb. 22. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games, while going 6-2 across the past 8 outings.

In that game against the Warriors, Anthony Davis suffered a left corneal abrasion, and he is questionable for Monday’s game, as a result. Meanwhile, LeBron James has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past couple of months. Officially, it’s being called left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. He played through the injury, going for 40 points in 38 minutes against Golden State, so he is likely going to be ready to go, but double-check prior to tip.

Hawks at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 123, Lakers 119

Moneyline

The HAWKS (+290) are worth a roll of the dice for a chance to nearly triple up.

Atlanta handled its business in the 1st meeting with Los Angeles, and that was a game Anthony Davis missed due to injury. If A.D. is sidelined again, that’s obviously bad news for the Lakers (-360). And while LeBron is fully expected to play, he can’t do it all himself. Atlanta is healthier, it is coming in with a lot of confidence after shocking the Clippers, and it already topped the Lakers once this season.

Against the spread

The HAWKS +8 (-106) are a strong play if you’re a little more on the conservative side, and you just can’t bring yourself to back the visitors straight up.

Atlanta has covered just once in the past 4 games, but it is a respectable 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games on the road, including the outright win over the Clips on this same floor.

The Lakers -8 (-114) are just 4-8 ATS in the past 12 games, and it is just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 as a favorite of 7 or more points.

Over/Under

OVER 225.5 (-110) is a strong play.

The Lakers have cashed the Over in 4 of the past 5 games, and defense has really been an issue lately. Los Angeles has coughed up 120 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, and 6 of the past 8 outings.

The Hawks dropped 138 on the Lakers in Atlanta on Jan. 30, a game which featured 260 combined points. While the Hawks have cashed the Under in 5 of the past 6 games, the offense has cobbled together 110 or more points in 2 in a row, and 4 of the past 7 outings.

Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Heat (37-30) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (37-30) Monday. Tip-off from Wells Fargo Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Heat vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Heat lead 2-0

Miami has won back-to-back games after taking down the Detroit Pistons 104-101 Sunday while failing to cover as a 5.5-point road favorite. F Duncan Robinson scored a game-high 30 points on 7-of-12 shooting from 3 while C Bam Adebayo had a double-double with 20 points and 17 rebounds. The Heat shot 44.9% from the field in the win.

The 76ers snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 109-98 victory over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday to cover as 10.5-point home favorites. G Tyrese Maxey scored a game-high 30 points while five 76ers players scored in double figures. Philadelphia shot 44.4% from the field in the win.

Heat at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 111, 76ers 104

Moneyline

BET HEAT (+115).

Miami has won back-to-back games, both on the road, and is 5-5 in its last 10. It has held opponents under 101 points in each of its last 3 and is 20-15 on the road this season.

It faces a Philadelphia team that has lost 2 of its last 3 and is still feeling the impact of a variety of injuries. It has scored 95 or fewer in 3 of its last 5, and beyond Maxey, it has struggled to find a scoring substitute for Embiid.

Against the spread

PASS.

The odds are better on the Heat to win outright.

Over/Under

BET OVER 209.5 (-110).

While both teams have struggled to score recently, with a line as low as 208.5, the Over should be a no-brainer. The Heat have scored 104 or more in 7 of their last 10, while the 76ers have scored 105 or more in back-to-back games.

Neither team is at full strength; however, each team has multiple players who are able to contribute towards the Over. While it may not be pretty, both teams are more than capable of scoring.

The New York Knicks (40-27) take on the Golden State Warriors (35-31) Monday with tip-off from Chase Center set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 1-0 after beating the Knicks in their building 110-99 on Feb. 29

The Knicks have won 3 straight after a 98-91 dethroning of the Sacramento Kings Saturday. G Jalen Brunson dropped 42 points as he went over the 40-point plateau for the 2nd straight game. The Knicks are in 4th place in the East and sit 2 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for 3rd.

The Warriors got back in the win column Saturday thanks to the return of G Stephen Curry, who had 31 points in a 128-121 road win against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors had lost 3 of 4 as Curry was out with an ankle ailment.

Knicks at Warriors and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 111, Knicks 98

Moneyline

The Knicks’ defense has been legit, allowing just 83.2 PPG over the last 5 games. The Warriors will figure that out, though, having dropped 110+ in 8 of 10 games – and several were without Curry.

You can’t take the Warriors at -225, though. One prop that sticks out to me is DONTE DIVINCENZO UNDER 16.5 POINTS (-130). He hasn’t gone for 17 points in 5 straight games and is shooting the 3-ball at just 31.7% this month.

Against the spread

The Dubs are 6-4 ATS over their last 10, and all of those victories cleared this margin. They’ll do it again, though the Warriors’ 17-17 home record is a little worrisome.

Take the WARRIORS -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Warriors are 3-7 O/U over their last 10, and the Knicks are 1-9. When matched up against one another, the Over is 5-5 in the last 10 showdowns. The Knicks are dead-last in the league with a 94.9 pace. That will help the UNDER 211.5 (-110) clear.

Pistons at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 119, Pistons 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Celtics (-1400), who are 8-2 in their last 10 games and 53-14 this season, or on the Pistons (+800), who are 5-27 on the road.

Against the spread

BET CELTICS -15.5 (-105).

Detroit has failed to cover the spread in 3 of its last 4 games as a 7.5-point or more underdogs and has lost back-to-back road games by 8 or more points. Boston is 8-2 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 games and has covered in each of its last 5. It is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games as an 8-point or more favorite and is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games as a double-digit favorite.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-115).

The Pistons have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games including each of their last 4. They have scored 101 or fewer points in back-to-back games and 114 or fewer in 8 of their last 10.

The Celtics have failed to hit the Over in 3 of their last 5 overall and have held opponents under 112 in 9 of their last 10 overall. The top-ranked Celtics defense will be the key factor in the Under hitting on Monday night.

Cavaliers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 117, Cavaliers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Pacers (-275) to beat an injury-riddled Cavs team that has lost 3 of its last 4.

Against the spread

BET PACERS -6.5 (-115).

Cleveland has failed to cover in 2 of its last 3 road games and is without its leading scorer in Mitchell, amongst other key players.

It faces a Pacers team that is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 and 4-2 ATS in its last 6. The Pacers are 36-29-3 ATS on the season, while the Cavs are 33-34 ATS. Look for G Tyrese Haliburton to stimulate the offense and take advantage of the beaten-up Cavs.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-105).

As it stands, this is the highest total in the Cavs’ last 10 games. They have scored 111 or fewer in 7 of their last 9 and allowed 112 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.

The Pacers have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 overall and have held opponents to 113 or fewer in 4 of their last 5. Against a Cavs team that is struggling due to injury, expect Indiana to continue that trend Monday.

The Timberwolves have won 2 in a row on the road, while averaging 118.5 points per game (PPG) with 100.0 PPG allowed. The T-wolves have won 4 of the past 6 games, too, while the Over is 3-1 in the previous 4 contests. Minnesota has cashed the Under in each game against Utah this season.

Timberwolves at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Jazz 107

Moneyline

The Timberwolves (-350) are a risky play, costing 3 1/2 times your potential return. That’s a crazy bet, but it is especially so if Gobert, a.k.a. “The Stifle Tower”, cannot play against his former team. Gobert missed the front end of the set, and although Naz Reid filled in admirably, it makes Minnesota super risky.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The TIMBERWOLVES -8 (-110) are worth playing lightly, even if Gobert is deemed unable to go. He missed Saturday’s game, yet Minnesota was still able to take care of business. If he is active, then go a little more aggressively.

The Jazz +8 (-110) are in a nosedive, dropping 4 of the past 5 games outright, while going just 3-12 SU. More importantly, Utah is an awful 5-10 ATS in the past 15 games.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-108) is worth a look in this rematch.

The Under cashed in the front end of the set, although Minnesota certainly did its part with 119 points scored. The Over is 5-1-1 in the past 7 games for the Jazz, while the Timberwolves have ended up going high on the total in 3 of the past 4 outings, and 6 of the previous 9 contests.

Portland Trail Blazers at Chicago Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Portland Trail Blazers vs. Chicago Bulls odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Portland Trail Blazers (19-48) travel to meet the Chicago Bulls (33-35) Monday at United Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Trail Blazers vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Bulls lead 1-0; Chicago won 104-96 at Moda Center in Portland as a 6-point favorite on Jan. 28 as the Under (222.5) cashed

The Trail Blazers lost 126-107 in New Orleans against the Pelicans on Saturday, failing to cover as 13-point underdogs with the Over (215) cashing. Portland has won just twice in the past 8 games, while going 2-3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 6 outings. Despite the Over in NOLA, the Under is still 3-1 in the past 4 contests.

The Bulls posted a 127-98 win over Washington on Saturday, cashing as a 9.5-point favorite at home as the Over (224.5) came through. Chicago is 2-1 straight up and ATS in the past 3 games. The Over is on a 3-0 run, while going 5-2 in the past 7 contests. The Bulls have allowed 126 or more points in 3 of the past 4 games.

Trail Blazers at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 115, Trail Blazers 106

Moneyline

The Bulls (-290) took care of business in the 1st meeting in late January in Portland by 8 points, and Chicago has won 4 in a row in the series. Still, this is a rather large sum to risk for such a small reward.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The BULLS -7 (-110) are worth a look as Chicago has had the number of the Trail Blazers +7 (-110) in recent seasons. The Bulls have not only won 4 in a row in the series, but Chicago has covered the past 4 meetings, too.

The Blazers are 2-4-1 ATS in the past 7 tries against Eastern Conference teams. While the Bulls have also had trouble stacking wins and covers lately, Chicago seems to light up when Portland is on the other side.

Over/Under

OVER 213 (-110) is a solid play in the Windy City.

The Bulls have cashed the Over in 3 in a row, averaging 120.0 points per game on offense, while coughing up at least 126 points in 3 of the past 4 outings.

For the Trail Blazers, the total has ended up going high in 5 of the past 8 games, with Portland’s defense coughing up at least 118 points in 6 of the previous 8 contests. That’s bad news with the way Chicago’s offense has been nboperating lately.

Atlanta Hawks at LA Clippers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Atlanta Hawks at LA Clippers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Hawks (29-37) and LA Clippers (42-24) meet Sunday. Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Clippers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Clippers lead 1-0

The Hawks are coming off a 124-122 loss against the Utah Jazz Friday as the Over (223.5) hit. Atlanta has failed to cover in 3 straight games after losing as a 1-point favorite in Salt Lake City.

The Clippers, who were 7-point underdogs, lost 112-104 to the New Orleans Pelicans Friday with the Under (219) cashing at Smoothie King Center. LA was without G James Harden (shoulder) for a 2nd straight game, and the 10-time All-Star is questionable for Sunday.

In a Feb. 5 meeting, the Clippers beat Atlanta 149-144 at State Farm Arena as the Over (245.5) easily hit. F Kawhi Leonard scored 11 of his 36 points in the 4th quarter for the Clippers, who covered as 4-point favorites.

Hawks at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 115, Hawks 100

Moneyline

The Clippers (-450) should bounce back after losing to the Pelicans. However, I can’t recommend risking $450 to win $100.

PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

The Hawks are 0-3 straight up (SU) and ATS in their last 3 games, including back-to-back SU losses after closing as favorites. This team has too many injuries to live up to the market’s expectation of it.

At least the Clippers have shown that they are capable of bouncing back after losses. After losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves on national TV Tuesday, they covered as 6-point favorites with a 126-111 Thursday win at the Chicago Bulls.

BET CLIPPERS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Hawks offense has been disappointing without Young. Before their loss to the Jazz, they had scored 103 or fewer points in 3 straight games and 5 of their previous 7. This Hawks team just has too many injuries to put up a meaningful amount of points, especially against a focused Clippers defense coming off a loss.

BET UNDER 221.5 (-115).
