Starting off the week with a 4-1 day is always nice, so let’s try to replicate that today.

Memphis Grizzlies @ Philadelphia 76ers

Joel Embiid is resting, so naturally, Memphis is favoured. But, it’s only by 3.5 points. That isn’t enough.

The Grizzlies could smackdown on the Sixers here.

Best bet handicap - Grizzlies -3.5

Toronto Raptors @ Atlanta Hawks

The Raptors have to be tired after all starters playing 50 minutes last game, while the Hawks are on a roll winning six straight games.

So, it is a surprise to see the Raptors favoured on the road here. I think Atlanta wins it straight up and they are paying $2.00 for a win.

Best bet: Hawks to win for $2.00

Golden State Warriors @ Houston Rockets

Jalen Green has struggled in most of his games this season. The shot just won’t fall.

So, going against the NBA’s best defence isn’t an easy task. His points line is only set at 14.5 and on TAB, going under that is paying $1.95

Best bet player points - Green under 14.5

Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics

Al Horford has had his struggles of late, with his minutes way down from the beginning of the season.

But, he has still been pulling rebounds. His line is only at 5.5 boards and you get good odds of $1.95 to go over that.

Best bet player rebounds - Horford over 5.5

LA Clippers @ Indiana Pacers

Caris LeVert is functioning as the point guard for the Indiana Pacers with Malcolm Brogdon out.

So, despite some recent struggles, it is a surprise to see his assist line at 4.5. And it is also surprising to see the over paying $2.10 on TAB.

Best bet player assists - LeVert over 4.5
