Grizzlies Spread (-7.5) over Pacers; Over 235.5 Points

There is some hesitation to go with the Grizzlies and the over since several key players are questionable, including Ja Morant, Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Duarte. However, points should be aplenty, and the total has increased 4 points since the morning. Both the Pacers and Grizzlies like pushing the pace, and while Memphis is capable of playing strong defense, they prefer to outgun their opponent when Morant plays. On the other hand, the Pacers do not play any defense. Indiana is also playing their third game in four days. If Morant does not play, go with the under.

Suns Spread (-4.5) Over Pelicans

The spread is surprisingly low, and it dropped a point since the morning line. Phoenix is 5-2 over their last seven games, and the Suns are coming off a 140-111 shredding of the Lakers, as they shot 56.4% from the field and forced 19 turnovers. The Suns also have played better — at least defensively — on the road in the second half, where they have won three of four with a winning margin of 9. Devin Booker has been shooting the lights out since the All-Star break, while Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and especially Cameron Payne have stepped up their offensive production over the last 10 games.

New Orleans snapped a four-game losing streak the last time out, but the Pelicans will not have Brandon Ingram once again, though C.J. McCollum is back in the lineup after missing the last few games. The Pelicans are just 3-15 in their last 18, with 14 of the setbacks coming by 6 or more points. Moreover, Phoenix leads the season series 2-1, and both of the Suns victories have been by double digits.

Nicolas Claxton Over 7.5 Points

Claxton should be the first big off the bench for Steve Nash, as LaMarcus Aldridge remains sidelined. Claxton is flashy, but he is extremely effective around the rim. He will also get hustle points either in transition or on put backs. Claxton tallied 10 points against the Knicks the last time out and has contributed at least 8 points in four of the last five outings in which he has seen 20 minutes of floor time. He is projected for 10 points tonight. OddsShopper gives the over a 70% chance of hitting and an expected ROI of 30%.
