    Game of the Night: Pelicans at Lakers (-5 ½, 238 ½) – 10:35 PM EST

    Sixty games are in the books for the Lakers (29-31 SU, 25-33-2 ATS), who limp home following a pair of road losses at New Orleans and Memphis. Los Angeles sits three games behind San Antonio for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, as the Lakers dropped to 9-16 since upsetting the Warriors on Christmas. In Monday’s 110-105 setback at Memphis, Brandon Ingram posted 32 points and LeBron James registered another triple-double, but the Lakers fell to 1-6 in the last seven road contests.

    The Pelicans (27-35 SU, 30-31-1 ATS) rallied from 13-point deficit on Monday to get within one point in the final seconds against the 76ers, but New Orleans fell short in a 111-110 home defeat. Anthony Davis was limited to 20 minutes of action for New Orleans and scored 18 points, while Jrue Holiday paced the Pelicans with 22 points. New Orleans was dreadful from downtown by converting on only 5-of-28 attempts, but the Pelicans managed a cover as two-point underdogs to pick up their fifth consecutive ATS win as a home ‘dog.

    These two Western Conference squads are hooking up for the second time in five days as the Pelicans cruised past the Lakers, 128-115 last Saturday as 6 ½-point home underdogs. New Orleans captured this victory without Davis in the lineup, highlighted by a 42-point first quarter, as Holiday and former Laker Julius Randle combined for 51 points in the win. The Pelicans have lost six of their last nine games away from the Big Easy, but have covered five times in this stretch.

    Blazing the Trail

    Since losing on a back-to-back set to Oklahoma City and Dallas, the Trail Blazers (37-23 SU, 34-26 ATS) have captured three straight road games since the All-Star break. Portland has won all three contests by double-digits at Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Cleveland, while improving to 13-15 away from the Moda Center. In Monday’s 123-110 triumph over the Cavaliers, Portland jumped out to a 71-48 halftime lead before Cleveland trimmed the deficit to two in the fourth quarter. C.J. McCollum paced the Blazers with 35 points in his return to his home state, as Portland moved to 7-2 on the road against Eastern foes.

    Portland catches an unrested Boston squad tonight as the Celtics (37-24 SU, 31-30 ATS) are coming off their worst loss of the season at Toronto on Tuesday. The Raptors crushed the Celtics, 118-95 as Boston was limited to 63 points in the final three quarters. Boston is winless since the All-Star break at 0-3, as the Celtics were swept on their three-game road trip which included losses at Milwaukee and Chicago.

    The Celtics have struggled on the second of a back-to-back set this season by going 4-5 SU and 3-6 ATS, while eclipsing the OVER in five straight home contests. Portland took care of Boston in the first matchup at the Moda Center in November, 100-94 as two-point favorites to avenge a sweep by the Celtics last season.

    Fighting for Seeding

    There is still six weeks until the playoffs start, but the Jazz and Clippers are currently in a good position to qualify for the postseason. Utah (33-26 SU, 31-26-2 ATS) rebounded from a pair of road losses at Golden State and Oklahoma City to blow out Dallas on Saturday, 125-109 as 11 ½-point favorites. Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio each posted 25 points for the Jazz, who avenged a 50-point loss at Dallas in mid-November.

    The Jazz welcome in the Clippers (34-28 SU, 34-28 ATS), who rebounded from a 27-point loss at Denver to beat the Mavericks, 121-112 on Monday. Although L.A. played with no rest, the Clippers received 32 points off the bench from Montrezl Harrell to improve to 3-6 in the last nine home games. L.A. has struggled to beat Utah over the years by losing five of the past six meetings, including a 129-109 home drubbing to the Jazz in mid-January as one-point favorites.

    Welcome Home

    February has not been a kind month to San Antonio, as the Spurs (33-29 SU, 32-29-1 ATS) have limped to a 2-7 record, including a 1-7 mark on their annual rodeo road trip. After getting squeezed by Toronto last Friday in a three-point setback, the Spurs were stunned as nine-point favorites in a blowout loss at New York followed by a 16-point defeat at Brooklyn on Monday.

    San Antonio was held to under 100 points for the first time in 14 games, while the Spurs failed to cash the OVER at Brooklyn following seven consecutive OVERS. Coming home will obviously benefit Gregg Popovich’s team, who has won four straight games at AT&T Center, but the Spurs are 1-5 ATS in their last six games at the Alamo since covering seven in a row from mid-December through early January.

    The Pistons (29-30 SU, 28-29-2 ATS) travel to Texas looking to stay red-hot after holding off the Pacers on Monday, 113-109. Detroit improved to 7-1 the last eight games since squandering a 25-point lead in a 111-101 loss to the Clippers on February 2. The Pistons have been lighting up the scoreboard during this stretch by hitting the OVER in six straight games, while putting up at least 110 points in each of those contests.

    San Antonio took care of Detroit in the first matchup at Little Caesars Arena on January 7 in a 119-107 triumph as 2 ½-point favorites. The Pistons built an early 12-point advantage before the Spurs outscored Detroit, 50-29 to close out the first half. Each of the last three matchups in San Antonio have finished UNDER the total, while the Spurs won each time while not busting the 97-point mark.

    Freezing Point

    The Southeast division title may be claimed by a team with a losing record as the top three squads are separated by 1 ½ games. The Heat (26-33 SU, 30-29 ATS) sit in third place of the Southeast after losing eight of 10 games in February, including back-to-back home defeats to the Pistons and Suns. Phoenix snapped a 17-game skid in Monday’s 124-121 triumph at Miami, as the Heat allowed 72 second half points on their way to a sixth consecutive loss at American Airlines Arena.

    Guess who’s coming to town on Wednesday? Yep, it’s the defending champion Warriors (43-17 SU, 25-34-1 ATS), who improved to 12-1 in the last 13 road contests after pulling away from the Hornets, 121-110 on Monday. Golden State cashed as 8 ½-point favorites and won in spite of Stephen Curry’s 5-of-18 shooting performance for 16 points. DeMarcus Cousins compiled a double-double by scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, as the Warriors moved to 10-2 away from Oracle Arena against Eastern Conference foes.

    In the last matchup between these clubs, the Warriors edged the Heat in Oakland, 120-118 on February 10. Miami built an early 19-point advantage, but Golden State rallied back led by Kevin Durant’s 39 points. The Warriors failed to cash as 13 ½-point favorites, as the Heat have covered in five of the previous seven meetings.

              • Dwyane Wade banks in 3-pointer to lift Heat past Warriors
                February 27, 2019
                By The Associated Press


                MIAMI (AP) Dwyane Wade banked in a straightaway 3-pointer as time expired and the Miami Heat wasted a 24-point lead before rallying to beat the Golden State Warriors 126-125 on Wednesday night.

                Wade scored 25 points to help Miami snap a six-game home losing streak. Wade took a victory lap, waving a towel as the fans roared and ''This Is My House'' was displayed on the video boards.

                Goran Dragic led the Heat with 27 points. Josh Richardson added 21, and Miami made 18 3-pointers.

                Klay Thompson scored 36 points for the Warriors. Kevin Durant added 29, but missed a free throw with 14 seconds left that kept the Heat within two points. Durant made the second of two on that trip, and Wade delivered on the ensuing possession for the biggest win of Miami's season.

                Stephen Curry had 24 points for the Warriors, a half-game ahead of Denver for the Western Conference lead.

                LAKERS 125, PELICANS 119


                LOS ANGELES (AP) - LeBron James scored 33 points, Brandon Ingram added 23 and Los Angeles weathered strong performances by Anthony Davis and Julius Randle for a victory over New Orleans.

                Davis had 22 points and eight rebounds in the first three quarters after getting a warm pregame reception from Lakers fans who eagerly followed Los Angeles' fruitless pursuit of a trade for the superstar forward earlier this season.

                Randle scored 35 points against his former team, but couldn't finish a comeback against James and the Lakers' new core during New Orleans' fifth loss in seven games.

                CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - James Harden scored 30 points, Clint Capela had 23 points and a career-high 17 rebounds and Houston beat Charlotte for its third straight victory.

                In his first game since his streak of 30-point games ended at 32, Harden struggled from the field, missing his first eight shots from 3-point range - even having one blocked by Nic Batum. Harden finished 10 of 29 from the field and 1 of 11 from 3-point range, but made two free throws with 14.6 seconds left to put it away.

                Chris Paul heated up in the fourth quarter and finished with 17 points and 10 assists. Kemba Walker had 35 points for Charlotte, 27 in the first half. He was 3 of 12 from the floor in the second half.

                HAWKS 131, TIMBERWOLVES 123, OT


                ATLANTA (AP) - Trae Young matched the career high he set earlier in the week with 36 points, John Collins had 34 and Atlanta beat Minnesota in overtime.

                Collins scored 18 points in the fourth quarter as Atlanta, which trailed by 13 points late in the third period, rallied to force the extra period.

                Karl-Anthony Towns led the Timberwolves with 37 points and 17 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins had 21 points.

                DeAndre Bembry scored six of his 16 points in overtime for Atlanta.

                TRAIL BLAZERS 97, CELTICS 92

                BOSTON (AP) - Damian Lillard scored 21 of his 33 points in the second half and Portland handed Boston its fourth straight loss.

                Maurice Harkless had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Jusef Nurkic scored 16 points, and CJ McCollum finished with 14 points for the Blazers. They have won a season-best five straight.

                The struggling Celtics are winless since the All-Star break. Kyrie Irving scored 31 points to lead Boston.

                Kyrie Irving scored 31 points for Boston. The Celtics are winless since the All-Star break.

                SAN ANTONIO (AP) - LaMarcus Aldridge scored 24 points, DeMar DeRozan had 17 points and 13 points, and San Antonio returned home after a 25-day absence to beat Detroit and snap a three-game skid.

                The Spurs returned to the AT&T Center for the first time since Feb. 2 after going 1-7 on their rodeo trip, the worst they have fared on their annual excursion.

                Reggie Jackson scored 22 points for Detroit.

                BUCKS 141, KINGS 140, OT


                SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Eric Bledsoe scored five of his 26 points in overtime when Milwaukee played all but the final 12 seconds without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks beat Sacramento.

                Bledsoe added 13 assists and 12 rebounds to help the Bucks to their sixth straight win. Malcolm Brogdon had 25 points, including a 3-pointer late in overtime, while Khris Middleton and Nikola Mirotic scored 21 points apiece as Milwaukee improved to an NBA-best 47-14.

                Antetokounmpo scored 17 points and made a pair of key baskets for Milwaukee late in the fourth quarter but spent nearly all of overtime on the bench with a grey towel wrapped around his shoulders in his first game back from a sore knee.

                Buddy Hield had 32 points and six rebounds for Sacramento.

                MAVERICKS 110, PACERS 101

                DALLAS (AP) - Luka Doncic had 26 points and 10 rebounds in his final game as a teenager, fellow rookie Jalen Brunson scored a season-high 24 points and Dallas beat Indiana to ended a five-game losing streak.

                Doncic, the only teenager in NBA history with multiple triple-doubles, didn't have a shot at his fifth late. But the first-year sensation who turns 20 Thursday had two of his seven assists on a pair of key 3-pointers while getting one from Brunson on a deep 3 to help Dallas hang on.

                Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pacers with 22 points.

                JAZZ 111, CLIPPERS 105

                SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Donovan Mitchell scored 32 points, Rudy Gobert had 20 points and 13 rebounds and Utah beat Los Angeles.

                Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio added 13 points apiece. Utah won its fourth straight home game by overcoming early shooting struggles.

                Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari scored 18 points each for the Clippers.

                WIZARDS 125, NETS 116

                NEW YORK (AP) - Bradley Beal scored 31 points, Trevor Ariza had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Washington beat Brooklyn.

                Reserve Thomas Bryant added 18 points. Washington had lost four straight and nine out of 12.

                D'Angelo Russell scored 28 points for the Nets. They had won two in a row.

                BULLS 109, GRIZZLIES 107

                  Klay Thompson scored 36 points for the Warriors. Kevin Durant added 29, but missed a free throw with 14 seconds left that kept the Heat within two points. Durant made the second of two on that trip, and Wade delivered on the ensuing possession for the biggest win of Miami's season.

                  Stephen Curry had 24 points for the Warriors, a half-game ahead of Denver for the Western Conference lead.

                  LOS ANGELES (AP) - LeBron James scored 33 points, Brandon Ingram added 23 and Los Angeles weathered strong performances by Anthony Davis and Julius Randle for a victory over New Orleans.

                  Davis had 22 points and eight rebounds in the first three quarters after getting a warm pregame reception from Lakers fans who eagerly followed Los Angeles' fruitless pursuit of a trade for the superstar forward earlier this season.

                  Randle scored 35 points against his former team, but couldn't finish a comeback against James and the Lakers' new core during New Orleans' fifth loss in seven games.

                  CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - James Harden scored 30 points, Clint Capela had 23 points and a career-high 17 rebounds and Houston beat Charlotte for its third straight victory.

                  In his first game since his streak of 30-point games ended at 32, Harden struggled from the field, missing his first eight shots from 3-point range - even having one blocked by Nic Batum. Harden finished 10 of 29 from the field and 1 of 11 from 3-point range, but made two free throws with 14.6 seconds left to put it away.

                  Chris Paul heated up in the fourth quarter and finished with 17 points and 10 assists. Kemba Walker had 35 points for Charlotte, 27 in the first half. He was 3 of 12 from the floor in the second half.

                  Karl-Anthony Towns led the Timberwolves with 37 points and 17 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins had 21 points.

                  Reggie Jackson scored 22 points for Detroit.

                  BUCKS 141, KINGS 140, OT


                  SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Eric Bledsoe scored five of his 26 points in overtime when Milwaukee played all but the final 12 seconds without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks beat Sacramento.

                  Bledsoe added 13 assists and 12 rebounds to help the Bucks to their sixth straight win. Malcolm Brogdon had 25 points, including a 3-pointer late in overtime, while Khris Middleton and Nikola Mirotic scored 21 points apiece as Milwaukee improved to an NBA-best 47-14.

                  Antetokounmpo scored 17 points and made a pair of key baskets for Milwaukee late in the fourth quarter but spent nearly all of overtime on the bench with a grey towel wrapped around his shoulders in his first game back from a sore knee.

                  Buddy Hield had 32 points and six rebounds for Sacramento.

                  MAVERICKS 110, PACERS 101

                  DALLAS (AP) - Luka Doncic had 26 points and 10 rebounds in his final game as a teenager, fellow rookie Jalen Brunson scored a season-high 24 points and Dallas beat Indiana to ended a five-game losing streak.

                  Doncic, the only teenager in NBA history with multiple triple-doubles, didn't have a shot at his fifth late. But the first-year sensation who turns 20 Thursday had two of his seven assists on a pair of key 3-pointers while getting one from Brunson on a deep 3 to help Dallas hang on.

                  Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pacers with 22 points.

                      Max Scherzer broke into the major leagues with the Diamondbacks.

                      ******************************

                      Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…..

                      13) Here’s a question for us to consider; if Zion Williamson doesn’t play anymore this season. where do you seed Duke in the NCAA’s? How good are the Blue Devils without him?

                      I don’t have an answer to this, other than if he is indeed out for the year, Duke won’t say so before Selection Sunday, because that would diminish their seeding, maybe a couple of lines?

                      12) Virginia Tech 77, Duke 72— There is a kid on Duke who has missed 28 3-pointers in a row, and his 3-point %age (26.5%) is still better than Duke’s PG, Tre Jones (24.6%). Blue Devils are shooting 29.6% on the arc in conference games, 30.7% for the season.

                      11) Philadelphia Eagles are not franchise-tagging QB Nick Foles; he will be become a free agent, and I’m guessing a really highly sought-after one.

                      10) Villanova 67, Marquette 61— Two best teams in Big East hooked up here; chances are they’ll meet again on March 16, in Big East tournament final. Kid named Samuels on Villanova was averaging four points a game; he had 29 points in this one.

                      9) Tennessee 73, Ole Miss 71— Vols are tied with Kentucky/LSU atop the SEC; they host the Wildcats in Knoxville Saturday.

                      8) Baylor 84, Texas 83 OT— Horrific loss for Longhorns, who led by 19 with 14:56 left to play; leading 83-82, they turned ball over on an inbounds play with 0:07 left. Not good.

                      7) Trailblazers 97, Celtics 92— Boston is 1-8 vs spread if they played the night before.

                      6) West Virginia 104, TCU 96, 3OT— These teams battled it out for 55:00 Tuesday night and the Horned Frogs went home with a costly loss. West Virginia is having a lousy season but Derek Culver is developing into a pretty good player- he had 22 points, 21 rebounds in this game.

                      5) Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery got suspended for two games after he berated a ref after the Hawkeyes’ 90-70 loss at Ohio State Tuesday. If you’re going to berate a ref and curse him out multiple times, better not to do it where media people can hear you.

                      4) Was wondering about this today so I looked it up; Wayne Gretzky is the NHL’s all-time leader in empty net goals, with 56.

                      Marion Hossa is 2nd on this list, with 40, followed by Mario Lemieux and Alex Ovechkin, with 33 each.

                      3) Heat 126, Warriors 125— Dwyane Wade banked in the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer after his first shot was blocked. Miami is a half-game out of the last playoff spot in the East.

                      2) On Tuesday, Mets’ OF Brandon Nimmo ate undercooked chicken that he cooked himself and got sick- the team sent him home from their game on Wednesday. Mets’ plan to teach him how to cook. Ordering out would also seem to be a good idea.

                      Oy.

                      1) 80-year old Bobby Knoop retired this week as a coach/instructor with the Angels; he was in baseball for 53 years, playing nine years in the major leagues, mostly in Anaheim. He made one All-Star Game and won three Golden Gloves.

                      Why bring this up? Because when I was a kid playing in Little League, a long, long time ago, I used a baseball glove signed by Bobby Knoop. I sucked at baseball, but wasn’t a bad fielder at least, and that glove was awesome. So thank you Bobby Knoop, and enjoy your retirement!!!

                            • Inside the Paint - Thursday
                              Chris David

                              Dogs Strike Back

                              After watching the favorites go 11-3 straight up and 9-5 against the spread on Monday and Tuesday, the underdogs stormed back Wednesday with a 6-5 SU and 9-1-1 ATS mark. The Heat led the charge with a stunning 126-125 win over Golden State as a 9 ½-point home underdog. While Miami was certainly the right side as it led throughout the game, any bettors taking them on the money-line at 4/1 (Bet $100 to win $400) have watched the below clip a few times.

                              The Heat weren’t the only team snapping their losing skid last night. The Spurs got on track with a 105-93 win over Detroit as a 4 ½-point home favorite and San Antonio was the only ‘chalk’ to cash on Wednesday.

                              We did see all three late-night favorites win outright last night but the underdogs saved face against the spread and that’s been a common theme lately. Since we returned from the All-Star break last Thursday, favorites have gone 34-21 SU while underdogs are 33-21-1 ATS. The totals market has leaned slightly to the ‘over’ (28-27) during this span and that includes a 6-5 lean to the high side last night.

                              Back-to-Back Spots

                              Six teams will be playing on no rest Wednesday and I’ve listed their production (SU, ATS, O/U) when facing back-to-back spots along with trends to watch as well.

                              Minnesota (2-6 SU, 5-3 ATS, 4-4 O/U) at Indiana (8-3 SU, 8-3 ATS, 4-7 O/U):
                              Both clubs coming off losses last night as the Timberwolves collapsed late at Atlanta in overtime while Indiana also came up short in a 110-101 loss at Dallas. The Timberwolves have covered four straight games on no rest despite going 1-3 straight up. The Pacers have been a great look in back-to-back spots and even better at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, going 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS on no rest. Minnesota has won and covered three of the last four meetings in this series, including a 101-91 win as a two-point home favorite on Oct. 22, 2018.

                              Golden State (6-2 SU, 2-5-1 ATS, 5-3 O/U) at Orlando:
                              The Warriors got caught napping in Miami last night and are now listed as road favorites (-6) in this spot. Golden State is 0-5-1 ATS in its last six games on no rest despite going 4-2 straight up. The Warriors are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games and could easily be 0-8 if the Hornets show up for the second-half of their encounter this past Monday. Orlando played down to its competition again on Tuesday as it lost to the Knicks 108-103 as 7 ½-point road favorites. However, the Magic are 3-0 both SU and ATS in its last three as an underdog which includes last Sunday's win at Toronto.

                              Miami (4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS, 5-3 O/U) at Houston (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS, 5-3 O/U):
                              The Heat haven’t faced many back-to-back sets this season and only two in February, both decisions were losses and the ‘under’ cashed in each contest as well. Houston has won and covered three of its last four games on no rest, all three wins came by double digits. Coincidentally, the lone loss came to the Heat as the Rockets dropped a 101-99 setback as three-point road favorites on Dec. 20. Oddsmakers expecting Houston (-9) to get revenge here but bettors could be hesitant to lay the points knowing the Rockets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight at the Toyota Center.

                              Utah (5-5 SU, 4-6 ATS, 7-3 O/U) at Denver:
                              The Jazz have been hit or miss on no rest this season but they have won three of their last four games. The ‘over’ has cashed in the past four contests.

                              Break up the Knicks!?

                              New York (13-48 SU, 26-34 ATS) will host Cleveland (14-47 SU, 27-33 ATS) tonight as a short home favorite (-3). The Knicks will be looking to win their third straight game on Wednesday after stunning the Spurs on Sunday and Magic on Tuesday from Madison Square Garden as underdogs. Going from hunter to hunted is never easy in any sport and New York hasn’t been a favorite since December. Overall, the Knicks are 3-5 both SU and ATS as a ‘chalk’ and they’ve lost their last four games in this role. New York’s longest winning streak this season was three games, which ended on Nov. 28. For what it’s worth, the Cavaliers are 2-0 both SU and ATS versus the Knicks this season, both wins coming in Cleveland.

                              TNT Action

                              Philadelphia (39-22 SU, 28-33 ATS) at Oklahoma City (38-22 SU, 33-27 ATS)


                              This game loses a little luster as the 76ers still won’t have All-Star Joel Embiid (knee) available and his mini-rivalry with Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook always provides added entertainment. VegasInsider.com NBA expert Tony Mejia offered up his thoughts on the televised non-conference matchup, which begins at 8:05 p.m. ET.

                              He said, “The 76ers are likely going to employ a small-ball approach with Joel Embiid and the newly acquired Boban Marjanovic sidelined. It will be interesting to see if the lack of a back-to-the-basket threat limits Steven Adams’ effectiveness for the Thunder, but the rebounding prowess of Russell Westbrook and Paul George make the Thunder a dangerous team to try and play position-less basketball against. Embiid had 31 points in Philly’s 117-115 loss when these teams played on Jan. 19. Tobias Harris was still with the Clippers when these teams met in Philly, but he’ll be critical in attempting to put a halt to the 19-game losing streak the 76ers are on against Oklahoma City.”

                              “The 76ers have dropped nine straight at Chesapeake Energy Arena and will need Harris and J.J. Redick to shoot the ball well from beyond the arc in order to have the firepower to hang around here. Rookie Jonah Bolden, veteran Amir Johnson and center Justin Patton, who has gotten in just one game his entire career, will attempt to hold their own against Adams and Nerlens Noel, who have been an extremely effective combination. Markieff Morris should also see time and could be the x-factor since he might be in line for more minutes with Philly lacking a traditional center. At home, not having to deal with Embid or Marjanovic certainly favors OKC and a faster pace given the lack of resistance inside. Although Embiid gets to the free-throw line at a high rate to aid ‘overs,’ his defense is a major factor that the 76ers are having a tough time replicating. Portland scored 130 points without him in the mix on Saturday night.”

                              The Thunder have gone 14-5 ATS during their 19-game winning streak over the 76ers and they’re laying 7 ½-points in this matchup. Philadelphia has alternated wins and losses in their last six games as underdogs and the team is 7-9 both SU and ATS this season when catching points. Make a note that the point-spread hasn’t mattered in any of those 16 contests so if you’re leaning Philadelphia, perhaps a money-line play at 5/2 odds could intrigue you.

                              This game has the highest total on the board at 239. OKC has watched the ‘over’ go 18-11 at home this season. Both teams have watched the ‘under’ go 2-1 in their games since the All-Star break.

                              Utah (34-26 SU, 31-27 ATS) at Denver (42-18 SU, 33-27 ATS)

                              The Nuggets come into this game with a five-game winning streak and three of those wins have occurred after the All-Star break. Denver has gone 3-0 ATS in those victories and that includes an impressive 121-112 victory over the Thunder on Tuesday.

                              For this matchup, the Nuggets opened as five-point home favorites and the number has been pushed up to -7 as of Thursday morning. Denver has been a tough out at the Pepsi Center this season, owning a league-best 27-4 record. More importantly, the Nuggets have gone 22-9 ATS for bettors. They’ve won 19 of their last 20 in Colorado and that includes a run of nine straight wins. During the current home winning streak, the club is 8-1 ATS.

                              As noted above, the Jazz are playing with no rest and their numbers are pedestrian in back-to-back spots. Utah has gone 2-1 both SU and ATS since the break and the lone loss was a heartbreaker, a 148-147 setback at Oklahoma City in overtime.

                              The Jazz haven’t been that strong on the road (14-16) this season but they’ve managed to churn out slight profits at the betting counter (15-13-1 ATS). In their last six games as visitors, they’re 2-4 SU and 4-2 ATS.

                              The pair split the first two meetings this season and the home team won and covered both contests. These teams are only schedule to play three times so this encounter will be the last matchup between them. Denver stopped Utah 103-88 on Nov. 3 as a 4 ½-point favorite from the Pepsi Center. Including that win, the Nuggets have won and covered five straight at home against the Jazz. The ‘under’ has cashed in all five of those games.

                              TNT will provide national coverage of this game at 10:35 p.m. ET.
