This is a tough spot here for the Nuggets. They are coming off a big win over the Cavs and now playing a desperate Pacers team.

The Heat have been by far the most over achieving team in the league this year IMO. Odds Makers are clearly giving them a lot of respect here saying these team are pretty much equal on a nuetral court. Raptors are without Lowry, but they are now starting to click winning 3 straight and 4 of 5 and they have a ton of motivation trying to catch Washington for the 3 seed. Ibaka is out for his fighting the other night. All of that is definitely playing into the line. Whiteside is also banged up for Miami and they are missing Waiters.

I will lay the points here with the Hornets as I have said they are a desperate team right now trying to make a late push for the playoffs. They are only 3 games back of Miami for the 8th spot right now and simply cant afford a loss to one of the worst teams in the league. Magic have won back to back games but were against the Suns who are tanking and the Sixers in OT. Hornets are a lot better across the board I see them motivated and focused here

The Pelicans are starting to make a late push for the playoffs now. Most knew it would take a while with the Cousins deal to take shape, but now it has. They have won 4 of 5 now and with antoher win here tonight they can climb to just 3 games out of the 8th spot. So you don't have to question the effort here.
The Grizzlies are getting a lot of respect because they have now won and covered 4 straight including a win over the Spurs. I believe this is a flat spot for them because they have the Spurs again next followed by the Warriors.

Like the Wolves here in this spot as the Wizards will be playing their 5th game in 7 days and all of those on the road. They have to be exhausted here after coming back by 20 plus points against the Trailblazers last time out. Minnesota is quietly playing better and are to a surprise only 3 games back now of the 8th seed. In recent home games they have beat teams like the Warriors, Clippers, Mavs Raptors, Bulls. The only game they haven't covered @ home was the Cavs and they let that one slip away. It's safe to say they are playing their best basketball right now and catching this Wizards team at the right time.

The Grizzlies are in the midst of a tough road trip which this will be their 5th road game in a row. They are also getting love because they have won and covered 3 straight while the Thunder have lost and failed to cover 3 straight. The other two Thunder losses were two the Spurs and Cavs I'm not worries about those. The home team has covered each time so far this year in this meeting

Davis is probable for return here tonight. When that becomes official I believe this line will flip for the Pelicans being favored.

This team is playing with a lot of confidence and still have a legit shot to make the playoffs as the 8th seed. They need all the home wins possible. Thunder have already beat them twice so I do like them to at least get one win.

Love Boston here in this spot as the Rockets are being way over valued. Boston played last night, but that was in DC which is being played into the line, but that isn't a true road game for travel purposes. Boston was just very unlucky last night as no matter what the Wizards did the ball went in. Evidence is that they nearly shot 60% for the game which is unheard of. The Rockets aren't playing their greatest ball right now either as they are just 3-5 SU their last 8 games.
