Since anybody who is anybody is going to be watching the Spurs and Warriors do battle tonight in Oracle; this is a sneaky good betting day for under the radar lines.
HOU +5 vs. NOP
J Smoove comes back to H-Town and all of a sudden everyone starts playing better!! James Harden is doing everything he can to win games, and Smoove looks like the all-star from back in his ATL days rather than the dude who couldn't get any burn on the Clippers bench earlier this season. Although I have been impressed with how the Pelicans have been playing of late, I think Houston goes on a mini winning streak right now and wins at least the next three or four games in a row.
ATL vs. DEN +5
I know the people of Denver probably forgot they had a basketball team after the outcome of the AFC championship on Sunday, but the Nuggets are surprisingly decent these days. Early in the season they were hot garbage that I was arguing should trade everybody and start over, but now? I'm not so sure anymore. Gallo is finally healthy and playing like that second level elite type player that he could be, Mudiay is running the point and droppin dimes, and rookie sensation Jokic is a serviceable NBA big man who reminds me of a young Pau Gasol on the block!! Those are some pretty solid pieces when all added together, and I think it is going to be just enough to help these Nugz score an upset tonight against the Hawks.
CLE -13.5 vs. MIN
Is it too early to say this might be the biggest game of the Cavs season thus far?? After firing their coach and then laying an egg against Chicago in their first game post-Blatt, the Cavs absolutely have to come out and have a monster effort against the dangerous Wolves. This game is going to be surprisingly close throughout with LeBron doing just enough in the fourth to put this one away and give the Cavs the cover.

MLK DAY TOP 5 LOCKS!!
CHA vs. UTA +2.5
The Hornets are in an absolute tailspin after losing center Al Jefferson, first to a suspension and then an injury. Losers of 9 out of their last 10, makes this an easy point grab for the always feisty Jazz.
MEM vs. NOP +4
We all know how much Anthony Davis loves playing against undersized power forwards, or at least I assume that he does. Sure Memphis has Marc Gasol to stand behind Z-Bo and at least contest the Brow's shots, but defensively and rebounding AD is going to be an absolute nightmare against this front line. Ryan Anderson has also been playing better of late since he started getting mentioned in trade rumors, maybe he is trying to improve his stock so that the Pelicans get a better offer for me, what a guy.
ORL +7.5 vs ATL
The Magic getting 7.5 points??? I must be dreaming!! I would take this line if the Magic were playing someone like the Cavs, but against the Hawks this is free money!!
GSW +3 vs. CLE
This is one of those lines that hurts me to throw out, even though I know it is the smart play. I want the Cavs to win this game, as a matter of fact I would even say there's a very good chance that they win this game. But Golden State has lost 2 out of 3 and beat the Cavs previously in this series, so the smart play here is to take the points. Cleveland has had trouble during crunch time against great teams, hopefully those struggles continue tonight in the city known as the mistake by the lake.
DAL +1.5 vs. BOS
This game features two of the best coached teams in basketball, and will be a straight up execution-fest. Watch this one if you like set plays being run over and over, proper screens being set, and more back door cutz than Future's latest mixtape. In the end I like the Mavs only because they are coming off a blowout in San Antonio, and should find playing against Boston much easier than dealing with the Spurs.
