This is a pure numbers play. The Sixers have been a good over team and Kristaps Porzingis being out helps to give Joel Embiid more opportunities at the rim.
The Sixers can put up a big number and the Celtics continue to click offensively no matter who is in or out.

Dallas has owned Memphis the past few years. The Mavs consistently beat up on bad teams and win by a lot. The Grizzlies are coming off a win on the road over the Jazz so I think this is a good spot to fade them.

Everything in this game screams under. The Knicks are on a back-to-back after not covering against the Pistons. They are 1-3 to the spread and the under on back-to-back games. The Knicks don’t tend to have two bad games back-to-back. They will probably bounce back defensively.
Toronto has had three-straight games hit the under and this will be its third game in four days. The Raptors are also only allowing 21.4 points per game to point guards, which is fifth-best in the NBA. If they can slow Jalen Brunson down, the Knicks usually fall apart.

The Spurs are on a back-to-back here. The Pelicans are adding Trey Murphy III back to the lineup tonight.
I have this number at 15.7, and when the Spurs lose they tend to get blown out. They lost by two to the Hawks last night and I don’t think they keep this one close at all.
