Prediction

76ers 109, Pacers 102

Moneyline (ML)

The 76ERS (-250) are big moneyline favorites over the Pacers (+200) on Saturday evening. The 76ers have been a widely inconsistent team before the league pause, as they haven’t won back-to-back games since before the All-Star break. And the last time they won three games in a row was back on Christmas when they upset the Bucks.

The Pacers, on the other hand, have been a far more consistent team before the league was paused. They’ve won six of their last eight games and are looking to stay ahead of the 76ers in the Eastern Conference. But with SG Victor Oladipo’s status up in the air for tonight’s game, take the 76ers despite the chalky odds.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

If you are considering betting on the 76ERS (-6, -100), then consider betting on them to cover the spread. Philadelphia has nearly the entire roster intact and they have proven to be one of the best teams in the league on defense this season. Meanwhile, the Pacers just aren’t quite as talented of a team and they could struggle to keep this one close, plus they are dealing with a lot of injuries. Take Philadelphia to cover this moderate spread Saturday night.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Eastern Conference matchup is set at 219.5 points, which feels a bit high considering how good each side has been on the defensive end of the court. Both teams rank inside the top-five in defense, allowing under 108 points per contest. With this being the first game for each side in the NBA restart, expect the shooting and scoring to be a tad sloppy. Take the UNDER (-110) with confidence in this matchup.

Prediction

Heat 111, Nuggets 104

Moneyline (ML)

The Nuggets thumped the Heat, 109-89, in their first meeting this season back on Nov. 5. But, I give Miami the slight edge in this matchup because they are an elite offensive team and Denver is above-average at offense and defense but not elite at either.

The Heat have the best three-point percentage in the NBA, sixth-highest offensive rating and are third at both effective field goal % and free throw attempts per field goal attempts. Miami have aggressive playmakers that attack the basket  — SF Jimmy Butler — and snipers from deep— SF Duncan Robinson, SF Jae Crowder and SG Tyler Herro.

When it comes to defending the three, both teams are tied for eighth in opponent’s three-point %, but Denver gives up the 28th most threes per game. If they don’t close out better than that on Miami’s shooters, they are going to be buried by threes.

Injuries in Denver’s backcourt could be a factor as well. Both Murray and Barton are listed as questionable, and if they play how effective will they be and will they be on a minute-restriction? In the first Heat-Nuggets game this season, Murray led the Nuggets in points and in rebounds.

BET THE HEAT (-106) on the moneyline. New to sports betting? A $106 bet on Miami earns a profit of $100 if the Heat win outright.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

PASS on an ATS wager in Heat-Nuggets, which has the Nuggets at -1 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

We are BETTING THE OVER 210.5 (-110). Our moneyline handicap mentions the Heat lighting it up from three and Miami’s Over/Under record is 39-25-1 this season. Also, the Heat-Nuggets is an early tip-off and their combined Over/Under record in day games is 9-4 this season.
