Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Capitals 4, Coyotes 2

Moneyline (ML)

The Capitals (-182) are not as heavily favored as one may expect on a Monday night at home against a team traveling almost cross-country. Arizona is also struggling of late. This number is still too low for comfort so AVOID.

A $10.00 bet with Washington results in a $5.49 profit with a Capitals’ win Monday night.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CAPITALS (-1.5, +150) carries much better value and this team covers well against the spread. Washington has done so in 13 of its 18 contests this season which leads the entire NHL. Take the risk with a $10 bet returning a profit of $15.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-143) causes some risk but is worth a small bet. Washington is also a league-best 13-4-1 when it comes to the Over. 

With this number at 5.5, the Over is the play and Washington has connected on the Over in 11 of its previous 12 games.

Mavericks at Celtics: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Celtics 108, Mavericks 102

Moneyline (ML)

The Celtics come into Monday 3-0 at home and winners of seven straight games overall. They return to TD Garden after sweeping a three-game road swing, finishing it off with a 135-115 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Texas. Boston outscores the opposition by a league-best 9.3 points per game (113.1-103.8).

The Mavs are a perfect 4-0 on the road to start the year. They beat the Memphis Grizzlies 138-122 on the road Saturday after being upset 106-102 by the New York Knicks the night before on home court. Mavericks SG Luka Doncic has led his team in scoring seven of nine games and each of the last five. Boston had four different leading scorers over its last four games.

Roll with the CELTICS (-167) as they go for eight in a row in their return home.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Boston to win outright returns a profit of $6.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Get better value on the Celtics with the spread. Backing BOSTON to cover the modest -3.5 points at -115 odds returns a profit of $8.70 should it win by at least four points.

The Celtics are 5-2 against the spread on the year and 2-1 at home. The Mavs are 4-0 ATS on the road but oddly just 4-5 overall. All but one of Boston’s seven wins have come by margins greater than four points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Mavericks are 7-2 against the Over/Under and top the projected total by an average of 10.6 points per game. The Celtics are just 3-5 against the projections by they still top the number by an average of 0.2 points per game. Their 250 combined points with the Spurs Saturday were a season-high.

Take the UNDER 217.5 (-115). It’s a slightly contrarian play, but Boston and Dallas rank 17th and 19th, respectively, in pace. The Celtics average 102.56 possessions per game to the Mavs’ 101.93.

Grizzlies-Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Spurs 123, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. The Spurs (-625) are too expensive on the moneyline, although they should handle their business in this one. They’ll be on a mission after getting thumped by 20 in their building by the Boston Celtics Saturday. San Antonio had been 4-1 SU at home until that implosion. Avoid the Grizzlies (+450), as they have won just twice in nine tries.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that San Antonio wins profits $0.16 if the Spurs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.60, $20 to win $3.20, $62.50 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-11.5, –106) are just 2-7 ATS overall this season, but they’re going to get well against a Grizzlies (+11.5, -115) side which is really struggling to find their identity.

Memphis has not only managed a 2-7 SU record, but they have covered in just two games this season, too, while going 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Look for San Antonio to win and cover, getting on track as they head into the new week with authority.

Over/under (O/U)

The OVER 22.6.5 (-106) has connected in eight of the past nine games at home for the Spurs. Interestingly, the over is 12-3-1 in the past 16 games after San Antonio allows 125 or more points in their previous game. Conversely, the over is 7-1 in the past eight when Memphis is thumped by 10 or more points at home, so it’s the perfect storm for a high-scoring battle in Texas.
