Just missed on the Grizzlies yesterday, but still a 3-2 day.

Let’s see what Wednesday brings.

New Orleans Pelicans @ Detroit Pistons

I’m not sure this is right, but I think the Pistons can win.

'SUCH A SHAME': NBA world gutted over Joe Ingles news

'RECORD SETTER': Josh Giddey matches LeBron James record

It’s a back-to-back for New Orleans, they are without Josh Hart and maybe no Brandon Ingram, while the Pistons welcome back Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk.

The line is only 1.5 points, so I will take Detroit to cover

Best bet: Handicap betting - Pistons -1.5

Miami Heat @ Toronto Raptors

Still no Kyle Lowry for the Heat, but Jimmy Butler is back.

Neither team has the rest advantage as they both played yesterday, but the edge the Heat has is that they lost by 30, so they didn’t need to push their guys much.

Oh, and also, Butler didn’t play. So, despite being on the road and losing when they played on the weekend, I like the Heat to arrest the two-game losing streak and win straight up.

Without Lowry, Bam Adebayo has a better shot at generating assists.

His line is 4.5 on TAB and going over feels like a solid bet in this matchup. That pays a nice $2.10 on TAB.

Best bet: Heat to win for $2.07

Best bet: Player assists - Adebayo over 4.5

Denver Nuggets @ Minnesota Timberwolves

Aaron Gordon’s last two games have seen a large usage spike. I don’t fully trust that, nor his shooting.

His points line is at 17.5 and after two good games in a row, I don’t trust Gordon to keep it going.

On TAB, under 17.5 points is $1.85.

Best bet: Player points - Gordon under 17.5

Orlando Magic @ Chicago Bulls

Cole Anthony has not been able to shoot. But, he still attacks the glass well and I like his rebound line against Chicago.

On TAB, the line is 4.5 and over that number is paying $1.80.

Best bet: Player rebounds - Anthony over 4.5
