Betting insights
- The Wizards recently snapped a 16-game losing streak but got right back in the loss column when they took a 28-point beating to the Grizzlies on Sunday. Cleveland isn’t exactly a slump-busting team to go up against, as it owns a league-best 21-4 record. The Cavs also carry an 11-3-0 ATS record as a home favourite. Max Strus is expected to make his season debut Friday night.
- Minnesota hosts the Lakers in an 8-seed vs. 9-seed showdown in the West. L.A. has covered just three times in the past 13 games, with a 2-5-0 ATS record as the away underdog this season. The T-Wolves have the slight edge in the head-to-head battle, taking six of the previous 10 games.
- The 76ers host the deteriorating Indiana Pacers. After an Eastern Conference finals berth last season, the Pacers are 10-15 and carry an embarrassing 3-11 record on the road. Joel Embiid doesn’t have any injury designation and is coming off a promising 31 points in 33 minutes against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
- It seems like the Nuggets haven’t quite found their groove yet this season. Normally a perennial championship contender, Denver is seventh in the West with a 12-10 record. The LA Clippers have won the last four meetings against the Nuggets and hold a 16-9-0 ATS record on the year. Denver owns the fourth-worst ATS record in the NBA (8-13-1).
- Phoenix hopes to snap a three-game losing streak as they travel to Utah to face the Jazz. The Suns have dominated the matchup lately, taking eight of the last 10 meetings. The Jazz are bottom five in offensive and defensive rating, with a 2-9 home record this season.
