OVER 227.5
SAN ANTONIO @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 2/03 | 10:30 PM EST
12:46 AM
I'm projecting 238 points for Spurs-Clippers, giving us solid value on the Over. The Over, which is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings at Staples Center, is cashing in more than 65 percent of my simulations.
FLORIDA +142
FLORIDA @ TORONTO | 2/03 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 10:46 PM
The Panthers have won six of seven and shouldn't be such big underdogs Monday at Toronto. Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is 10-5 lifetime with a .923 save percentage versus the Maple Leafs. Back Florida on the money line.
NEW YORK +1
NEW YORK @ CLEVELAND | 2/03 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 10:39 PM
The Knicks won by 20 in their last visit to Cleveland, and they're coming off a 7-point win at Indiana on Saturday. The Cavaliers have lost 10 of 11 and were just blown out at home by the NBA's worst team, Golden State. I've got the Knicks covering Monday night in over 60 percent of my simulations.

BAYLOR -7
BAYLOR @ KANSAS ST. | 2/03 | 9:00 PM EST
Baylor is playing its best basketball right now, having won a school-record 18 straight games with a defense that is fifth in the nation with just 58 points allowed per game. The Wildcats are struggling right now as they've dropped nine of their last 12. However, they have won six straight in this series, so there's plenty of motivation here for the Bears. The Wildcats' offense ranks 315th in the nation in scoring and 308th in free-throw percentage. Baylor is 5-0 both straight up and ATS on the road this season.

PHILADELPHIA -1.5
PHILADELPHIA @ DETROIT | 2/03 | 7:30 PM EST
9:44 AM
We are going to continue to fade the Red Wings as they continue to struggle. They have dropped eight straight (0-7-1), getting outscored 34-12 in the process, and are the lowest-scoring team in the NHL with an average of just over two goals per contest. The Flyers are 5-1-1 in their last seven, scoring 26 goals during the stretch. Detroit has lost 10 of its last 12 Monday games. Look for Philadelphia to dominate this one. Take the Flyers -1.5 goals at +114.
UNDER 129.5
TEXAS @ KANSAS | 2/03 | 9:00 PM EST
9:36 AM
This game has all the makings of a low-scoring, defensive battle. Kansas is allowing just over 61 points per game while Texas is yielding just over 63. The Longhorns' offense really has struggled as well, ranking just 302nd in the nation in scoring. A key stat in this game is that both teams are shooting around 65 percent from the free-throw line.

OVER 227.5
SAN ANTONIO @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 2/03 | 10:30 PM EST
10:19 AM
Kawhi Leonard is playing great right now and will have a little extra in the tank for his former team. The Spurs have been moneymakers all season when it comes to the Over, cashing 29 of 48 overall thanks in part to a defense that is allowing 114 points per game. San Antonio's offense also is averaging 114. The Clippers are dangerous offensively as well, averaging almost 116 per contest. This game should have a fast pace, with a lot of shots from long range being attempted and knocked down.

OVER 227.5
MINNESOTA @ SACRAMENTO | 2/03 | 10:00 PM EST
10:12 AM
These teams played an epic, high-scoring overtime game a week ago, and the way they match up, there's no reason to believe a ton of points won't be put up here as well. Both clubs like to push the pace and neither plays a lot of defense. The Over has cashed in 10 of the Kings' last 11 games overall and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these squads.
18-12-1 IN LAST 31 NBA PICKS | +442
MIAMI -145
PHILADELPHIA @ MIAMI | 2/03 | 7:30 PM EST
10:02 AM
The Heat are dominating opponents at home, going 21-3 straight up and 16-7-1 ATS. As for the 76ers, they really have had trouble on the road, dropping nine of their last 11 to fall to 9-16 straight up and 7-17-2 ATS. Joel Embiid also is struggling right now. The Heat are getting healthy and receiving key contributions from their bench.

ORLANDO @ CHARLOTTE | 2/03 | 7:00 PM EST
12:01 PM
The Hornets have lost 10 of their last 11, while the Magic have lost seven of their last eight. However, the only game that the Magic won during their recent stretch was a 23-point victory over the Hornets. There is some concern with Evan Fournier (back) being listed as questionable. If he plays, I really like the Magic to cover. Even if he sits, I think the Magic can cover considering they have allowed the fewest points per game in the league, while the Hornets have scored the fewest points per game.

PHOENIX +2.5
PHOENIX @ BROOKLYN | 2/03 | 7:30 PM EST
11:19 AM
The Nets are coming off of a bad loss to Washington on Saturday in which they lost Kyrie Irving (knee) yet again. Ricky Rubio (ankle) didn’t play for the Suns on Sunday against Milwaukee, but that might have been the team being cautious with him for the opener of a back-to-back set. If he does indeed come back, it’s going to be difficult for the Nets to keep up with the Suns’ firepower. Even if Rubio sits out, I like Phoenix and the points considering it is 11-6 ATS as a road underdog. Brooklyn is just 7-8 ATS as the home favorite.

WASHINGTON -5.5
GOLDEN ST. @ WASHINGTON | 2/03 | 7:00 PM EST
The Warriors are in the middle of a long road trip that's taken them all around the Eastern Conference, and now they face the Wizards in what will be their fourth road game in seven days. They're the worst offensive team in the league, so you don't have to worry about them taking advantage of Washington's poor defense in the same way other teams have. Meanwhile, the Wizards have won two straight at home and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games in DC. Lay the points.

Before their loss coming out of the All-Star break, the Panthers had won seven straight games. The Maple Leafs have won three straight games and they are 13-6-7 at home this season. The Maple Leafs are 9-17 ATS at home this season and they have won seven straight home games against the Panthers. The Panthers won their only matchup this season 8-4, but that was at home. The Maple Leafs shouldn't be nearly as strong of favorites against a hot team, take the value in the Panthers on the road.

FLORIDA @ TORONTO | 2/03 | 7:00 PM EST

The Panthers are top 10 in scoring on the road while the Maple Leafs are top 10 in most goals allowed on the home. However, the Maple Leafs are also top 10 in scoring at home while the Panthers are top 10 in most goals allowed on the road. The Maple Leafs have a top 10 power play at home, but the Panthers also have a top 10 power play on the road. The Panthers have a bottom 10 penalty kill in efficiency on the road while the Maple Leafs have a bottom 10 penalty kill in efficiency as well. This game is set up for a lot of goal scoring, take the over.

MINNESOTA @ SACRAMENTO | 2/03 | 10:00 PM EST
The Timberwolves have lost 11 straight, including a heartbreaker at home versus Sacramento a week ago in which they blew a 17-point lead with less than three minutes left. This is the second of a four-game homestand for the Kings. They got blown out by the Lakers and have Miami and San Antonio on deck. This is their best chance for a home win and I like them to cover the small number.

800♦ KANSAS JAYHAWKS
At 7:25 am pacific, the line is -14' points.
Today's Analysis
Absolutely love the Kansas Jayhawks tonight, laying the two touchdowns to the Texas Longhorns. Although the Super Bowl champion Chiefs hail from Missouri (make note Mr. President), I expect the atmosphere in Lawrence, Kansas to be absolutely electric, and the No. 3 team in the country to be on a mission.
