NBA Best Bets Monday January 22nd
The Suns are finally healthy and rolling! Kevin Durant dominated the fourth quarter, led them to their 5th straight win, and a nice -4.5 cover for a winning day.
🏀 NBA Best Bets Monday January 22nd 🏀
Raptors -6.5 (1u)
Grizzlies @ Raptors Un 227.5 (1u)
The Raptors continue to integrate their new pieces in tremendous fashion. They are playing cohesive team basketball, giving a ton of effort (which helps a lot defensively), and passing incredibly well for so many first time teammates in the rotation. The Grizzlies on the other hand are decimated with injuries and have role players being asked to preform larger tasks on a nightly basis. Traveling to Toronto will be no easy task. Both teams also lack a bit of shooting and try to make it up with intensity, making the under a strong play as well.
Bulls @ Suns Under 229.5 (1u)
The Suns are on the second leg of a home B2B after winning their 5th straight game. The starter played heavy minutes and I expect a few members of the Suns Core 4 (Nurkic has played so well this season he deserves to be included) to be listed as questionable and the total to drop. That invites the playback. It may get as low as 225.5 to play it back. We also know Zach Lavine is out on the Bulls side and he leads their offense.
Celtics @ Mavericks Ov 239.5 (1u)
This total should be above 240. Horford and Holiday rested on Sunday and will play in the second leg of the road B2B. Assuming the rest of the Celtics crew suits up as expected, this total lands around 242 and is still an over spot. Both teams feature lineups capable of playing 5 out basketball and attempt 3 pointers with league high frequency. 239.5 was the opening line and its already ticking up!
