OKLAHOMA CITY @ PHOENIX | 1/31 | 9:00 PM EST

The Thunder continue to dominate on the road, posting a 19-5 record there against the spread. Meanwhile, the Suns are just 10-14-1 ATS at home. When these teams met in Oklahoma City earlier this season, the Thunder won by 18 points. Look for them to win and cover during their rematch.

The Grizzlies are going to be shorthanded in this game with Jaren Jackson Jr. serving a one-game suspension for an altercation with the Knicks on Wednesday. They could also be without De’Anthony Melton (hand), who is listed as doubtful. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are at full strength and have won back-to-back games by at least 14 points. When these teams met less than two weeks ago in Memphis, the Pelicans won by 10 points. I expect them to win and cover at home.

DENVER @ MILWAUKEE | 1/31 | 9:00 PM EST
We just cashed on the Nuggets last night, but now we're going to fade them against the Bucks, even with this big line. The Nuggets are already shorthanded, and are now on the second night of a back-to-back (they're just 2-6 ATS in those situations this season) where they had to travel from Denver to Milwaukee and didn't even land in the city until 3:30 a.m. That's a brutal schedule no matter who you're playing, and they just happen to be taking on the best team in the league. The Bucks are outscoring teams by a whopping 13.6 points per 100 possessions at home, and have lost just two games in Milwaukee all season.

This total is massive, but it's justified given the way these teams operate. The Pelicans have gone Over in 13 of their last 16 and I like that trend to continue Friday night at home.
5-1 IN LAST 6 NBA PICKS | +390

PORTLAND +12.5
PORTLAND @ L.A. LAKERS | 1/31 | 10:30 PM EST
12:21 PM
Portland has won three of four, including confidence-building victories over the Pacers and Rockets. The Trail Blazers have covered 10 of their past 12 visits to the Lakers. Even with the emotional atmosphere at Staples Center tonight, I still like Damian Lillard and Co. to be competitive. Grab the points.

VEGAS @ CAROLINA | 1/31 | 7:30 PM EST
My simulations see the Hurricanes taking down the Golden Knights nearly two-thirds of the time in their Friday matchup, providing a value price on the relatively short home chalk. The Hurricanes are 6-2 in their last eight against Pacific division opponents and are 4-1 after holding their opponent to two or fewer goal sin the previous game. The Golden Knights are 1-4 in their past five road games.

Game: (873) VA Commonwealth at (874) Rhode Island
Date/Time: Jan 31 2020 7:00 PM EST
Betting Line Provider: Heritage
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Rhode Island 0.0 (-108)
View Analysis
Rhode Island has won and covered four straight games, winning each by double-digits. The Rams are an incredibly well-balanced team, rating above-average at both ends of the floor. Specifically, Rhode Island is 5.4 points per game better than average offensively and 4.3 points per game better than average defensively. The Rams are 9-1 at home this season where they are limiting opponents to just 66.1 points per game on 40.1% shooting from the field and 28.8% from beyond the arc.
Even more impressive is the fact that the Rams are holding conference foes to 62.6 points per game on 38.8% shooting from the floor and 25.1% from three-point territory. From a technical standpoint, Rhode Island is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games overall, including 5-1 ATS following a win and 4-1 ATS versus .601 or greater opposition. Interestingly, VCU is 1-9-1 ATS in its previous eleven Friday affairs, including 0-9 ATS over the past three seasons. Finally, my math model favors Rhode Island by 1.72 points in this game so grab the point with the Rams and invest with confidence.

Rotation #863-864
Marist/Niagara Over 130
Two young teams with two new coaching staffs match up this evening. It’s hard for teams that have not played long with each other to be solid on the defensive end. Niagara can heat up from the three point line, but also tends to give up a lot of three pointers. Marist is just as bad at defending the three point line. The one advantage tonight goes to Marist as Niagara is one of the smallest teams in the nation so the Red Foxes will be licking their paws for the chance to shoot over these guys. I think this is going to be a three point fest. Hopefully those shots go in. Take the Over.
