My model favors the Spurs. San Antonio is 22-8 on the road, and this is coming off of a narrow road and ATS loss in Miami in which they were spotted +4.5 pts, as well. I think the Spurs will make better use of these points against the Celtics. The Celtics continue to puzzle me, on paper they look great, they got playmakers, shooters, a lock down defender, rim protection, and coveted superstar 1a and 1b. Even so, they just can’t seem to put it together during games. They last won over the Hornets as they should but the day prior to that they lost to OKC? Take the points.

My model favors the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies pulled out a win in their last meeting. Expect another close scoring game even if JJJ sits this one out. There is also a chance Jonas Valanciunas returns today. In the event that doesn’t happen, Xavier Tillman is the next man up. Regardless, Memphis at +4.5 points is too much to pass up. I’m with the Grizzlies here.

My model favors the Knicks. The Hornets are again without starters LaMelo and Hayward, while Knicks without Mitchell. The scoring and play making will be harder to replace for the Hornets than the defense of Mitchell. Tonight’s game will be led by Rozier and Randle for their respective team – both players will be very productive. With that said, the Knicks are playing at home with a spectacular 9 game ATS win streak. I don’t see that ending tonight. I’m with the Knicks.
