Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
The Game: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 8 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Clippers | +5.5 (-112) | +188 | O 226 (-110) |
| Milwaukee Bucks | -5.5 (-108) | -225 | U 226 (-110) |
Pick: Los Angeles Clippers +5.5
Covering the spread has proven difficult for the Los Angeles Clippers as of late, as they've gone just 3-7 ATS over their last 10 outings while the Milwaukee Bucks are a perfect 5-0 both ATS and SU across their last five.
The Bucks are finally in a rhythm under head coach Doc Rivers, holding teams to 101.5 points per 100 possessions (first overall) during their winning streak. Four of their wins have come against the Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, and Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers, though, so the Clippers will provide much more of a challenge than any of those teams.
Keep an eye on the status of Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he's currently questionable with left Achilles tendinitis. Whether he plays or not, the Clippers should keep this game close even should they fall and at least cover as the 5.5-point underdogs.
Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings
The Game: Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings, 10 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago Bulls | +6.5 (-110) | +198 | O 227.5 (-110) |
| Sacramento Kings | -6.5 (-110) | -245 | U 227.5 (-110) |
Pick: Sacramento Kings ML
The Sacramento Kings had the weekend off after upsetting the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road in overtime on Friday as Malik Monk dropped 35 of his 39 points in the second half alone.
It was a welcome victory after losing their previous two games, keeping them out of the play-in tournament in the Western Conference with a 34-25 record SU.
Sacramento has won four in a row against Chicago dating back to March 2022, and is the heavy favorite on Monday at the Golden 1 Center. Its offense ranks sixth across the Association over its last five games while the Bulls rank in the bottom-third of the league during that span.
Washington Wizards Vs. Utah Jazz
The Game: Washington Wizards vs. Utah Jazz, 9 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washington Wizards | +6 (-110) | +190 | O 240.5 (-110) |
| Utah Jazz | -6 (-110) | -230 | U 240.5 (-110) |
Pick: UNDER 240.5 Total Points
It's been a crutch as of late to take the UNDER for games with totals which almost seem too high, and that's going to be the case once again when the Utah Jazz host the Washington Wizards at the Delta Center.
Both teams rank seventh and 10th overall in points per game over the last 10 games, respectively, but their game on Jan. 25 only reached 231 total points in a 123-108 win for Utah.
The total has gone UNDER in four of the Jazz's last five games, and that trend should carry forth on Monday as 240.5 points - which is the highest of the night - doesn't feel obtainable.
