| Overall | 0.79 |
The lone blemish of the day came as a result of the Miami Heat ending their seven-game losing streak. It's a solid recovery regardless after going 0-3 with Wednesday's selections.

Toronto Raptors Vs. Houston Rockets
The Game: Toronto Raptors vs. Houston Rockets, 8 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Raptors | +5.5 (-108) | +176 | O 229 (-110) |
| Houston Rockets | -5.5 (-112) | -210 | U 229 (-110) |
Pick: Toronto Raptors +176
The Toronto Raptors could receive some reinforcements in this matchup, as RJ Barrett (knee), Immanuel Quickley (quad), and Jakob Poeltl are all listed as questionable.
Even if none of the three suit up, Toronto managed to secure a victory without any of their services against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, so it's certainly plausible it can do the same once more against a Houston Rockets team that's just 2-3 across their last five games at the Toyota Center.
Sports betting often takes a leap of faith, so here's hoping the Raptors get some bodies back to the lineup to extend their winning streak SU against Houston to five games dating back to February 2022.
Phoenix Suns vs. Atlanta hawks
The Game: Phoenix Suns vs. Atlanta Hawks, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Suns | -4 (-108) | -164 | O 248.5 (-110) |
| Atlanta Hawks | +4 (-112) | +138 | U 248.5 (-110) |
Pick: Phoenix Suns ATS - 4
The Atlanta Hawks are scoring a league-best 128.4 points per 100 possessions over their last three games with a 2-1 record, which just so happens to coincide with the return of Trae Young to the lineup.
The Phoenix Suns are no slouches themselves on offense during a similar stretch, ranking sixth in the Association with 120.1 points per 100 possessions. This game will ultimately come down to which side plays tougher defensively, and with Grayson Allen probable to return from a right ankle injury, the advantage goes to the Suns on that front.
Phoenix hasn't covered on the road against Atlanta in five consecutive games, but that string of unfortunate luck should come to an end on Thursday as the reasonable four-point favorites.
Sacramento Kings vs. Indiana Pacers
The Game: Sacramento Kings vs. Indiana Pacers, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sacramento Kings | -3 (-108) | -142 | O 249 (-110) |
| Indiana Pacers | +3 (-112) | +120 | U 249 (-110) |
Pick: OVER 249 Total Points
This game has barnburner potential, which explains the lofty 249 point total.
Such a total has the average score per team set at roughly 124 points, which the Indiana Pacers have reached in three of their last five outings. The Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, have only hit that mark once during the same stretch.
The total hit 247 points during their initial meeting on Jan. 18 and that game didn't even feature Tyrese Haliburton (who should remain on a minutes restriction on Thursday) and Pascal Siakam.
