Miami Heat Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
The Game: Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Heat | +2 (-110) | +110 | O 204.5 (-110) |
| Cleveland Cavaliers | -2 (-110) | -130 | U 204.5 (-110) |
Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers ML
Despite missing the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Dean Wade, and Max Strus due to injury, the Cleveland Cavaliers somehow managed to go on the road and stun the Indiana Pacers on Monday night after holding them to just 103 points.
The Miami Heat are dealing with injuries in their own right, as they won't have Tyler Herro, Kevin Love, Josh Richardson, and now Duncan Robinson against Cleveland. Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jovic have been upgraded to questionable, at the very least, so reinforcements may be inbound.
Butler's availability could swing the odds in favor of Miami, but as things stand, the Cavaliers are the more favorable bet playing at Quicken Loans Arena. Miami has just two wins in its last seven outings, as well, both of which came against the lousy Detroit Pistons.
Sacramento Kings Vs. Toronto Raptors
The Game: Sacramento Kings vs. Toronto Raptors, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sacramento Kings | -11 (-110) | -620 | O 233.5 (-110) |
| Toronto Raptors | +11 (-110) | +460 | U 233.5 (-110) |
Pick: Sacramento Kings ATS -11
Having lost seven in a row SU, nine of their last 10, and having covered the spread just twice during that stretch, the Toronto Raptors have little hope heading into a clash with the Sacramento Kings.
A lot of the Raptors' woes falls on who is, and more importantly who isn't available. Four starters in Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett won't be in uniform, and so the only reason to not like the Kings to win and win convincingly is the possibility of them playing down to their opposition's level.
An 11-point spread is big, but the Raptors have lost by nine or more points in seven of the aforementioned nine defeats.
Memphis Grizzlies Vs. Golden State Warriors
The Game: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors, 10 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memphis Grizzlies | +11 (-110) | +430 | O 219 (-110) |
| Golden State Warriors | -11 (-110) | -590 | U 219 (-110) |
Pick: OVER 219 Total Points
The Golden State Warriors are averaging 118.5 points (sixth in NBA) in the two games since Stephen Curry returned to the lineup from an ankle injury.
That number should only go higher against a Memphis Grizzlies team that's been competitive in losses to top-quality teams since Desmond Bane's return, but still aren't world beaters by any stretch.
Yes, the Warriors have hit the UNDER in 10 of their last 14 games, but it has gone OVER in seven of Memphis' last eight games on the road. In fact, Wednesday's total has been exceeded in each previous matchup between the two teams already this season.
