Brooklyn Nets +1 -105 at DraftKings Sportsbook
The Nets have plenty of talent on their roster. The Nets lost to Houston two nights ago, but they were without Kevin Durant. Now bettors get to take the Nets as underdogs because of it. With Durant back in the lineup, the Nets have a great shot at winning this game. The Nets are the fourth-ranked offense in the NBA. They have counted on that throughout the season to win games. Tonight they go up against the Hawks. The Hawks are the 14th ranked offense. The Nets will be able to outscore them throughout the game. The Nets are also eighth in defensive efficiency while the Hawks are 26. This game is great to get high value out of the Nets.
Cleveland Cavaliers +1 -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook
Cleveland has been hot ever since Mobley has been back. Their only losses are against the Jazz and Bucks. The Timberwolves have gotten cold. D'Angelo Russell and Patrick Beverly have been working their way through injuries. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards are the only starters that have been 100%. The big men of the Cavs will cause chaos for Towns, and Darius Garland matches up well against Edwards. This game is a bad matchup for the Timberwolves.
Alec Burks Over 14.5 Points -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook
Since joining the starting lineup over Kemba Walker, Burks has scored over 14.5 points every game besides two. He has done this two games straight. In one of those games, he sat out the entire fourth quarter and ended up with 13 points. That is a great betting value. Toronto is a middle-of-the-pack defensive team, and Burks will get plenty of opportunities to score points. The Raptors also have a lot of players hurt or with day-to-day status. The lack of depth for the Raptors will allow the Knicks’ players get more points late into this game.
