Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Toronto Raptors
Matchup Page: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors, 7 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Lakers | -12 (-110) | -900 | O 232.5 (-110) |
| Toronto Raptors | +12 (-110) | +610 | U 232.5 (-110) |
Pick: Los Angeles Lakers ATS -12
The Toronto Raptors are finally receiving reinforcements in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, who both have missed time recently as a result of personal matters.
Unfortunately for Toronto, their presence won't be enough to halt the team's ongoing 13-game losing streak, which is the second-longest in franchise history. This is the third time this season the Raptors have been underdogs of 12 or more points at home, having lost both SU and ATS each time.
The Los Angeles Lakers are rarely favored to this degree on the road, as this is just the third time this season they've been so by eight or more points away from Crypto.com Arena. This is simply a sign of how far the Raptors have fallen off, and the Lakers will keep their misery flowing north of the border.
New York Knicks Vs. Miami Heat
Matchup Page: New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York Knicks | +3 (-110) | +124 | O 207.5 (-110) |
| Miami Heat | -3 (-110) | -146 | U 207.5 (-110) |
Pick: New York Knicks ML
The New York Knicks are only 9-12 SU this season when away from Madison Square Garden as an underdog, but they're a perfect 4-0 since the All-Star break under that criteria while also being flawless against the spread.
They're 2-0 against the Miami Heat this season, and while having lost their last two SU, the Knicks still reached overtime in one defeat and fell by a single point to the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder in the other.
Miami has won two in a row SU, but both wins were against the bottom-feeding Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards. The moneyline is tempting enough to roll with New York here with the greater upside.
Los Angeles Clippers Vs. Sacramento Kings
Matchup Page: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Sacramento Kings, 10 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Clippers | -2.5 (-110) | -136 | O 222.5 (-110) |
| Sacramento Kings | +2.5 (-110) | +116 | U 222.5 (-110) |
Pick: OVER 222.5 Total Points
The Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings have exceeded Tuesday's OVER/UNDER of 222.5 total points in two of their three matchups this season, most recently hitting 230 points on Feb. 25 in a 123-107 win for Sacramento.
Yes, the total has gone UNDER in six of the Kings' last seven games, but it's gone OVER in six of the Clippers' last seven outings.
Sacramento scored 127 points on March 31 in a victory over the Utah Jazz, with that level of offense hopefully carrying over a few days later against the visiting Clippers at the Golden 1 Center.
