Nuggets (Home) -5.5 - Pacers (Away) +5.5
My Pick: Nuggets -5.5
Indiana has been a terrible road team this season with a 10-15 away record. They have only beaten 2 +.500 teams on the road this year - Memphis and Chicago. Chicago is less than a 3 hour drive from Indianapolis while Memphis is 6 hours. The flights are basically instant at this distance and I think a lot of their road troubles were reduced thanks to the small distance. Denver however is almost 3 times the distance of Memphis; not to mention the massive altitude difference.
The Pacers average a league 2nd at 45.6 rebounds per game. As an average offensive team they rely on their defense and their rebounding to win games. The Nuggets however are the top rebounding team in the league with 45.7. Obviously a decimal point doesn't really give them an advantage but it does take away Indiana's much needed rebounding edge.
Denver has dominated at home this season. They have won 17 out of 20 home games by and average of 9.65 points. Both teams are known for being average on the road, but that didn't stop Denver from beating the Pacers by 3 earlier in the season. If Indiana couldn't beat the Nuggets at home I don't think there is any hope of them winning in Denver today.
Best of Luck!

Warriors (Away) -1.5 - Raptors +1.5
My Pick - Raptors +1.5
In the month of January Golden State has won a whopping 1 game on the road and they had to score 116 points to do it. They have been an awful defensive team this month allowing 102 points a game. They are playing their 3rd game on the road in 4 days after losing the previous 2. The Warriors started this season off great, but they are a fading team - especially on the road. I don't think the Raptors record does them justice and I expect them to easily beat this jet lagged Golden State team at home.
Jazz (Home) -3.5 - Rockets (Away) +3.5
My Pick: Jazz -3.5
Houston has played well in their last 2 outings, but they are still 3-6 away from home and 7-8 total this month. Utah, on the other hand, is on a 6 game home winning streak with a 9-3 record for January. Utah is one of the better home teams in the league and the Rockets are just too bad defensively to win this game.
Wizards (Home) -7.5 - Kings (Away) +7.5
My Pick: Wizards -7.5
Here we have a meeting of 2 polar sides of the sports betting spectrum. Washington has beat their spread 12 out of 13 games, while Sacramento has been on the losing side of their spread 10 out of 12 times with one push (Data credit to CM Johnson.) The Kings have the worst defense in the league matching up against a recently hot offensive team. Considering how good of a defensive team the Wizards are I just don't think this score will be close. I'm going to keep riding this Wizards train until I lose money on them and I don't expect that to happen today.
Best of Luck!
