Sacramento Kings ML (+144)
Brooklyn Nets -3 (+390)
Utah Jazz ML (+136)
Parlay odds: +989
Sacramento Kings ML (+144)
Right off the bat I have the Sacramento Kings beating the defending champions Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have won 7 consecutive head-to-head meetings, but tonight might be the best chance the Kings have had in years to beat this team. Outside of Stephen Curry, the Warriors are really struggling as a unit. Klay Thompson still isn’t back to his old self, so the only help Curry is getting comes from Andrew Wiggins.
Sacramento is on a 2-game win streak. First they took down the Cavs at home by 7 and then followed it up with a 120-114 win over the Lakers. De’Aaron Fox is putting up huge numbers, he had 32 in the win over LA and for the season he’s at almost 26 per game on 55% shooting. The way in which the Kings lost to the Warriors last time out will definitely be a motivating factor, Sacramento was outscored by 15 in the second half which proved to be the difference. After letting the lead slip in Monday’s meeting, I think they can redeem themselves in tonight’s game.

Brooklyn Nets -3 (+390)
Next up I have the Brooklyn Nets covering against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is my safest pick of the night as the Lakers might be the worst team in the NBA right now. LeBron James is likely to miss the game with a groin injury and Anthony Davis is questionable with a back issue. Meanwhile, the Nets have picked it up, winning 4 of their last 5 games, while Seth Curry is slowly getting back into form following his injury. He has scored 20+ points in consecutive games and without the Kyrie Irving distractions this team has looked dangerous over their last few games. The Lakers are on a 5-game losing streak and Brooklyn has covered in 4 of their last 5 on the road against LA. Give me the road squad to cover.

Utah Jazz ML (+136)
And finally we have the biggest surprise of the season – the Utah Jazz. Although they lost last night at Washington, they have a solid opportunity to bounce back against the unreliable 76ers tonight. Guarding Joel Embiid might be an issue, but that is only if he plays. The Philly big man is once again listed as day-to-day and his status will be revealed prior to tip-off. Even with him playing though, I feel like the Jazz have the scoring advantage. I’m expecting Lauri Markkanen to have a much better game than last night against the Wizards, when he was very passive on the offensive end which resulted in zero free-throw attempts. When he has it going, the Jazz are really tough to beat. The Jazz have covered in 7 of their last 8, and they are 13-6 SU in the last 19 meetings with the Sixers. Although they beat Atlanta last night, the 76ers have connected 2 wins in a row only once so far this season. I’ll take the West-leading Jazz to get the job done.
