06 Feb 02:00 Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Hornets are already playing back-to-back here and even if that wasn’t the case they still would be underdogs. The Lakers are now above 500 and will want to keep up the winning momentum. After beating two tough opponents in their previous two games, this should be an easy win.

Suggested Bet: Lakers -5.5

06 Feb 02:30 Brooklyn Nets vs Golden State Warriors

Both teams here love playing the fastball and can shoot well from beyond the arc, I am taking the over for this game. The Nets are the best 3-point shooting team in the league currently, in their previous game against the Sixers, they made 20 threes. The money line for this game is risky as both teams are inconsistent but both teams know how to shoot, and the likes of Klay Thompson will want to improve from their recent performance. The last 3 times these two met they overcame, take it here.

Suggested Bet: Over 225

06 Feb 02:30 Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers will be playing back-to-back here, and James Harden was a force against Miami, recording 21 points 11 assists, and 8 rebounds. The problem with Atlanta is that they are poor on the defense, they allow over 118 ppg and this will be their problem here. The Clippers have so many scoring options and are better defensively.

Suggested Bet: Clippers ML

06 Feb 03:00 Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings

Donovan Mitchell has been an unstoppable force for the Cavs, and he has helped immensely with the Cavs being 2nd in the East. As talented as the Kings are, the Cavs are the better team defensively here, and playing at home, I see them winning. The Cavs have won 8 straight games at home, this will be a good game but go to Cleveland.

Suggested Bet: Cleveland Cavaliers ML
