MINNESOTA (+5) over Boston
8:05 p.m. ETAfter another NBA winner yesterday on Portland our FREE PICKS are now on an 8-2 run!
Last night we took advantage of a scheduling quirk and went against a Utah Jazz team that we knew would run out of gas and we see a similar scenario tonight with the Celtics. Boston has received a ton of much-deserved hype over the last few weeks as a sleeper team in the Eastern Conference, but we think the pointspread has caught up to them tonight as they are tagged as a road favorite. Not only are the C’s 1-3 ATS this year when listed as a road chalk in this range, but tonight they play their third road game in four nights, with the first two coming in the high altitude of Denver and Utah. The T-Wolves have lost two straight since the All-Star break so you can expect a fully focused effort here, especially since they are in revenge mode after getting routed at Boston, 113-99, back in December. The Celtics shot a blistering 52% from the floor in that game and we don’t see a similar hot shooting night here from a young team that will have tired legs. Take the home dog!

Monday Night – 1st Half Play
CAVS/PISTONS – OVER 103.5 points
I have this 1st half landing on at least 105 points. The Pistons will be looking to push pace vs this Cavs club who are playing in a back to back spot tonight. Of course the Cavs prefer to play fast(er) pace and play their best ball when they push pace. Their offense has improved since Coach Lue took over with his up tempo style. Value for me here on the 1st Half going OVER at this number and I am on the 1st Half going OVER 103.5 this evening.VEGAS SPORTS INFORMER
4 Unit Play. Take #505 Toronto -3.5
over New York
(7:35 p.m., Monday, February 22)
I circled this game last night when I saw Toronto -5 but this morning I’m scratching my head and wondering why this number dropped to the Raptors -3.5. Yes I know New York won on the road against Minnesota Saturday night 103-95 but before that game the Knicks dropped 7-straight games. The Raptors are coming off a big home win last night and tonight I see the better teams coming out on top on the road. Toronto is 6-1 ATS against Atlantic division teams and the Knicks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home gamesVegasButcher
Miami Heat -2.5
Miami Heat should be getting Dwayne Wade back today, as he went through the full shoot-around in the morning. On the other side, the Pacers will be without CJ Miles (doubtful) and potentially without George Hill (questionable, with a sprained elbow). With Stuckey already out, that could be three key scorers out at one time for Indy, and at the very least two. Playing on a b2b and 3in4, while coming off two hard-fought wins @ OKC and @ ORL, this is a let-down spot for the Pacers. They are only 3-7 ATS in b2b spots this year. Their depth will be severely depleted in this one and if Hill misses the game, I just don’t see them scoring enough to stay with the Heat. Pacers are a mediocre rebounding team and they’re already at a disadvantage, facing a guy like Whiteside tonight. In addition, the Heat rank 4th in defensive FT-rate allowed, meaning they rarely give up ‘free’ points to their opponent at the charity stripe. Pacers will need to score from the field tonight in order to win the game, and being in a fatigue spot while missing a number of offensive pieces, greatly reduces their chances of doing just that. Miami with a well-rested Wade should come away with a home victory in this one.
