Cavaliers vs Hornets
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: WAXN-TV64
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 6.00x
- Cavaliers -8.5
- Under 215.5
- Donovan Mitchell Over 2.5 threes
Charlotte continues to struggle offensively, with the Hornets held to 91 points or fewer in four of their last six games. They've also cashed the Under in seven of 10 contests this season and remain without leading scorer Brandon Miller. Even if Cleveland puts together a strong offensive performance, the Hornets may not contribute enough to push this game Over 215.5.
I'm also backing Donovan Mitchell to knock down at least three triples. He's shooting 38.7% from beyond the arc and has cleared this total in three of his last four outings. With Charlotte struggling to defend the perimeter, Mitchell should have plenty of opportunities to connect from deep.

Wizards vs Pistons
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: NBCSN
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 6.25x
- Pistons -10.5
- Under 218.5
- Duncan Robinson Over 3.5 threes
I'm expecting a low-scoring affair in Detroit tonight. The Pistons play at a relatively slow pace, averaging just 99.4 possessions per game, while Washington has cashed the Under in eight of its first 10 contests. With Detroit likely controlling the tempo, scoring opportunities could be limited, making the Under 218.5 appealing.
I'm also backing Duncan Robinson to find his rhythm from deep. The veteran has cleared his three-point total in two of his last three games, averaging 10.3 attempts during that span. Washington has struggled to contain opposing shooting guards, allowing 3.7 made triples per game to the position. That sets up another opportunity for Robinson to make at least four threes.

Lakers vs Hawks
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: Spectrum SportsNet
- Analyst: Geoff Clark
Combo: 10.50x
- Atlanta Hawks moneyline
- Ziaire Williams 10+ points
- Aaron Wiggins 3+ made threes
Reminder: I'm only risking a quarter-unit on these combos. Nevertheless, I expect enough offense from both sides to cash the player props, while Atlanta has the added advantage of facing a Lakers team playing its second road game in as many nights.
Lakers wing Ziaire Williams should benefit from LA's depleted backcourt, especially if Austin Reaves, who is questionable for this game, sits out. Williams has been efficient offensively, and his defense should keep him on the floor regardless of how well he's shooting.
Meanwhile, Hawks shooting guard Aaron Wiggins has been knocking down threes all season, and the Lakers' perimeter defense is practically inviting him to keep firing.

Grizzlies vs Raptors
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 8.70x
- Toronto Raptors -3.5
- Under 228.5 points
- Cameron Boozer Under 4.5 assists
The Under has been a recurring theme when Toronto and Memphis meet with a total of 228.5 points or fewer. Seven of their last nine meetings under those conditions have stayed below the number, including five of the last six. That history makes another lower-scoring affair appealing as the Raptors host the Grizzlies on Monday night.
I'm also fading Rookie of the Year candidate Cameron Boozer in the assists market. The 19-year-old is averaging 5.2 assists on nine potential assists per contest, but he's finished Under 4.5 assists in five of his last seven games. Despite his season average, that recent trend makes this number too high for my liking.

Pacers vs Mavericks
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: KFAA
- Analyst: Geoff Clark
Combo: 8.05x
- Over 225.5
- Dallas Mavericks moneyline
- Pascal Siakam 2+ made threes
I'm combining Dallas' moneyline with my top pick, Over 225.5, and my favorite player prop: Indiana forward Pascal Siakam to make at least two threes. The Pacers are just 1-5 straight up in games Tyrese Haliburton has missed.
More importantly, I like how the Mavericks are playing, and Cooper Flagg is already a top-20 player in the NBA. Dallas has the second-best spread differential over the past two weeks, according to Cleaning the Glass.
As long as Flagg and Kyrie Irving stay healthy, the Mavericks should be in the mix for a top-six seed in the Western Conference. Per Cleaning the Glass, Dallas has a +10.6 net rating when Flagg and Irving share the floor.

Nuggets vs Rockets
- Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
- TV: Space City Home Network
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Combo: 8.50x
- Rockets -8.5
- Jabari Smith Jr. Over 2.5 threes
- Alperen Sengun 8+ assists
I like the Rockets to beat the Nuggets by margin, and I expect Jabari Smith Jr. to play a big role in that.
Smith is averaging 17.3 points per game, with a healthy portion of his scoring coming from beyond the arc thanks to lethal 47.5% three-point shooting. Denver ranks 30th in defending catch-and-shoot opportunities, setting Smith up for another productive night from deep.
I'm also backing Alperen Sengun to dish out at least eight assists. He's averaged 8.6 assists on 15.6 potential assists over his last five games and should see additional minutes with Clint Capela sidelined. That added opportunity makes Sengun an appealing final leg.

Spurs vs Suns
- Time: 9 p.m. ET
- TV: 3TV
- Analyst: Tom Oldfield
Combo: 5.50x
- Spurs -8.5
- Devin Booker Over 1.5 3-pointers
- Stephon Castle Over 1.5 3-pointers
The Spurs began this road trip with a pair of blowout wins, and I like their chances of adding another tonight. Mitch Johnson's men won't sleepwalk through the first quarter like the Houston Rockets did in Phoenix on Saturday, and they're averaging an impressive 118.4 points per game this season.
Devin Booker and Stephon Castle should see plenty of each other in this contest, and I'm backing both to make a splash from downtown. Booker has cleared this total in five straight outings, attempting at least seven triples in four of those games.
Meanwhile, teams are leaving Castle open beyond the arc, and he's been willing to let it fly. He's shooting just 33% from three-point range, but he's knocked down at least two triples in three of his last four games. With the Spurs averaging 91.4 field-goal attempts per game, there should be plenty of volume for Castle.

Pelicans vs Warriors
- Time: 10 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA TV
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Combo: 5.75x
- Golden State Warriors -9.5
- Steph Curry 29+ points
- Draymond Green 7+ assists
I don't see the Pelicans slowing down the Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back. Golden State's ball movement has been impressive during its winning streak, with the Warriors averaging 31 assists per game over their last seven contests. That should create plenty of opportunities for Draymond Green to facilitate.
With Curry leading the charge and Green pulling the strings, I'm expecting another strong offensive performance from Golden State.
