My model favors the Grizzlies. The Bulls are without their All-Star Zach LaVine, that’s a loss of 27 pts per game. So instead of expending energy chasing LaVine, Grayson Allen will have a big night and redeem himself for the two missed free throws that cost the Grizzlies in the last game vs the Mavericks. Chicago has not covered their last four ATS. Lay the points.

My model favors the Nuggets. I placed my bet this morning with a half pt buy at -4. The line moved to -6 this pm, even at that number, it is good value and in my model’s range. Miami is heading into a B2B Road coming off a 20 pt loss to the Suns. It’s 645pm and Jimmy Butler’s ankle is still in question, he may not even suit up. Even though the Nuggets are without Murray, i think the trio of Porter, Jokic and Gordon should be enough to cover.

My model favors the Raptors. They lost to the Bulls couple of days ago, and i was impressed with how they fought even though management is tearing down the team. Chris Boucher was the next man up to replace Norman Powell, with a line of 38pts and 19 rebounds for a career night. I expect his contributions to continue and Gary Trent will look more comfortable with each game. The Cavaliers beat the tanking Thunders couple of days ago, but this Raptors team doesn’t play like it is tanking. There is also a chance Lowry plays tonight. Take the Raptors.
