Point Tracking: Hornets found themselves opening today as big dogs. It means that something interesting is coming. Overs are 15-5 this season, with Charlotte scoring 5+ points, and the Pacers aren’t the type of team to lock defensively for long periods of time. yes. Maybe not high enough? Also yes.
Low total underdogs: The Cavs/Suns game totals are pretty low in this era of basketball, and the dominance that comes with it. The underdog has his ATS 58–45 (56.3%) this season with a total of less than 220 points. Also interesting is the fact that if the Suns cover as an underdog this season, the overs he is 6-1 (if he fails to cover: 2-4).
Close the game, easy pick: The Timberwolves/Rockets match might not get a lot of attention, but it makes a lot of sense to bet on it. Houston is only 2-7 ATS this season with the spread under his 5 points, and Minnesota has covered 7 of their last 10 games with such a spot.

Best bet: Blazer +3.0The Raptors continue to receive the favorite treatment despite losing 11 of their last 14 games and going 1-7 in their final eight games at home. The Trail Blazers aren’t all that hot, he’s 6-7 in his last 13 games and 1-7 in his last eight road games, but they’ve been a slightly better team than the Raptors this season. The Trail Blazers have a better record, he has a higher scoring margin, and he’s evenly matched, so I tend to get the points in the matchup between the two teams. — Snellings

Best bet: Lamelo balls over 24.5 points.Tyrese Haliburton 20.5+ points, 31.5+ total points + assistsThis game scores the highest total points on the board on Sundays. Both teams rely on themselves and his guard to create points for the team’s offense. The Hornets also rank in his NBA’s bottom five in terms of points allowed to his guard against opponents. I think both point guards put their numbers up on Sunday. — Snellings
