Betting insights
- Los Angeles has won nine of its last 10 games while going 8-2 ATS. Now, it’s adding a perennial MVP candidate to the lineup. The Jazz have been a punching bag this season (12-39 record) but have been a respectable 15-13 ATS as a road underdog.
- The Mavericks got Anthony Davis in return from Doncic … but he’s already injured. Dallas was a middling team when Doncic didn’t play this season and will miss its new superstar tonight. The new-look Kings are fully healthy and are a 1-point road dog.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo is out and the Bucks are playing on a back-to-back. Damian Lillard showed out yesterday but the odds indicate Milwaukee will be in tough against a Warriors team with a rest advantage and Jimmy Butler playing.
- The Cavaliers are a conference-best 24-4 at home (18-10 ATS) and host a Timberwolves team battling injuries. Anthony Edwards is questionable and Julius Randle is out. The Cavs also beat the T-Wolves 124-117 in Minnesota on Jan. 25.
