Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Under 229.5 (-110)
Although neither team has played well on defense over the past 3 games, things could change at Madison Square Garden. In that building, 4 of the last 5 meetings have seen the under hit. An average of just 209.9 points per game have been scored in the last 10 games between these 2 Eastern Conference rivals. That’s almost 20 points under tonight’s total of 229.5 for those counting. Both the Hawks and Knicks have struggled offensively in their last 2 outings, averaging just 112 and 108 points per game, respectively. Cam Reddish and Quentin Grimes are both questionable for New York. For Atlanta, Trae Young generally owns MSG but he has been struggling with his shot this season (worse than 40 percent from the field).

Chicago Bulls -9.5 alternate spread over Charlotte Hornets (+170)
Charlotte’s form has been up and down to start the season. One night the Hornets beat the defending champion Warriors; then they promptly lost to the Kings. This team is still searching for its identity as it waits for point guard LaMelo Ball to finally come back from injury. Terry Rozier is also doubtful for tonight’s game, so the visitors are thin in the backcourt and scoring could be a real issue in this one. They could be in for a long night against a Bulls team they have defeated just once in the last 6 head-to-head encounters. Chicago added to Brooklyn’s woes on Tuesday and should ride that momentum to a convincing win over Charlotte.

Los Angeles Lakers ML over New Orleans Pelicans (+135)
It is true that the Lakers stink, but they still have the talent to put together good performances every now and then. There is no reason why they can’t do so at home against the Pelicans on Wednesday. Los Angeles finally has some semblance of momentum after giving head coach Darvin Ham his first win by beating Denver 121-110 this past Sunday. LeBron James and company will also be well rested, as they have enjoyed 2 full days off since that victory. Anthony Davis is questionable, but New Orleans is without Brandon Ingram. The Pels are just 2-2 in their last 4 games, so it’s not like they are some kind of juggernaut even though they are young and up-and-coming. Give me the Lakers at home.
