The Heat are traveling home after losing at Indiana on Sunday, while the 76ers are coming off a win at the Hornets on Saturday night. That extra-day cushion, combined with Philly getting healthier by the week, gives the visitors the edge to win straight up in South Beach.

The matchup against Phoenix is a hard one for 3-point shots; when the Phoenix Suns are the visiting team, the opposing team's starting PFs have averaged the least 3-pointers per game in the NBA this year (0.9).. The Memphis Grizzlies will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions in this contest from facing the 2nd-slowest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Suns).. The Memphis Grizzlies have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).

It’s a no-brainer to say that Victor Wembanyama is the No.1 reason to take the Spurs seriously as a title contender. But Stephon Castle’s development as a two-way stud has to be second. Castle is coming off a 22-10-10 triple-double against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, and he's gone past this combo O/U number in seven of his last nine contests.

Big scoring nights are just a bonus when you consider Castle is averaging 8.5 APG and 5.8 RPG in March. But he’s still very capable as a bucket-getter, and he’s shooting 41% from 3-point range across his past 13 outings.

Donte DiVincenzo rarely has to be asked twice when it comes to launching 3-pointers, and the T-Wolves have needed his volume shooting more than ever over the past few weeks. DiVincenzo has responded with 39 points across his last two outings, while making 10 of his 26 attempts from beyond the arc.

Though Edwards and Dosunmu could return tonight, that shouldn’t drastically alter the script for DiVincenzo, and I’m counting on the recent extra reps translating to another Over on his points prop. DiVincenzo is attempting almost eight 3-pointers a game this season, but don’t be surprised if he ends up with double-digit shots from downtown for the fourth time in his past five contests.

This year when they are at home, opposing starting SGs have totaled 2.6 three-pointers per game (4th-highest in the league) against the Minnesota Timberwolves, resulting in a positive matchup.. The 3rd-fastest pace home team in the league over the last 20 games has been the Mavericks.. The Timberwolves have played at the 9th-quickest tempo in the league over the last 25 games while traveling, which ought to boost opportunities for the Mavericks.

The Jazz check in as the 8th-least aggressive offense in the league over the last 5 games with respect to three-point attempts.. The matchup vs. Cleveland is a difficult one; when the Cavaliers are the visiting team, they have given up the 2nd-least points per game in the league to the other team's starting PFs this year (13.5).. The Jazz will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities today from competing against the 6th-least up-tempo tempo team in the league over the last 20 games (the Cleveland Cavaliers).
