NBA Monday

Raptors +2

Raptors playing in a back to back but they rested key starters (Quickly, Poeltl) vs a team in the Wizards that is tanking. Raptors have beaten the Wizards in two out of their last three meetings. Scottie Barnes is a go as well and he is averaging almost 20 points per game.

TimberWolves +2.5 

This is an excellent revenge spot from their last meeting when Obbi Toppin hit two miracle shots to win in OT. Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable with a thumb laceration? A thumb laceration shouldn't stop him from playing. It takes 3 minutes for a doctor to stitch that up. I expect him to play. I think Minnesota is the better team and I look for them to win in this revenge spot. I like the first quarter OVER 56 and the full game OVER 229 as well. Both teams have one day rest and Indiana loves to push the pace at home.

Celtics -3 

Boston is just a better team getting the Kings who will be without Sabonis and it looks like Malik Monk is listed as questionable. This is a short line because Boston is playing a B2B but they have depth and I like them in this spot even with their rotation guys.

Yes, three road teams...

Thank you for the input, tailing the Wolves. GLGL 

Sabonis hasn’t been ruled out. He also practiced fully Sunday. 

Like the picks and writeup.  Good luck.

Those were the first games that caught my eye at an initial glance for similar reasons.

Sabonis in 

@UnrankedChamp

 I like the over then if he is playing.

Looks like we got good closing line movements. The T-Wolves went from +2 to -2. I knew that Anthony Edwards would play. A thumb laceration is nothing. 

Now, with the Sabonis information, I really like the first quarter over on that Celtics and Kings game. Jaylen Brown is out, but Drue Holliday is playing and both of them are defensive monsters. I like the Kings to try to push pace, and in their last meeting both teams did not shoot particularly well and still in two quarters they scored 60 points. Sabonis playing helps the pace because his backup Valachuinas is a giant slob. He mishandles the ball and kills clog, kind of like Zubac on the Clippers. I really like the Kings/Celtics first Q over of 57

Added:

Kings/Celtics 1st Q OVER 57, would play 58 as well.
