Indiana Pacers +131

The Knicks who are on an 8 game winning streak host the Pacers tonight at MSG. With the injury to J. Randle and OG. Anunoby missing their last game and possibly tonight's game as well the Knicks have been heavily reliant on J. Brunson and D. Di Vincenzo to score points as both combined to take 45 shots in their last game. Brunson leading an offense is a good option, I not sold on relying on Di Vincenzo to be option two for a team. The Pacers welcomed back T. Haliburton last game versus the Celtics which they lost 129-124, however, he was on a minutes restriction and didn't play again half way through the 3rd quarter. Tonight he will be cleared to play over 30 minutes and will provide the Pacers with that extra boost. Even though the Pacers don't have a great defense, I don't believe the Knicks have enough offensively without Randle to outscore the Pacers tonight.

Utah Jazz -5 -107

The Jazz host the 76ers without J. Embiid tonight in their first game back from a 6 game road trip that saw them go 2-4 with their only wins versus league bottom feeders in the Wizards and Hornets. They were blown out versus teams like the Nets Pelicans and Knicks. They will be happy to be home were they're one of the NBA best home teams with a 15-6 record. The 76ers are really struggling having lost 4 straight and the last 3 without Embiid, the 76ers have really struggled in the past when he's missing and that is completely understandable when missing a player who is an MVP candidate every year. I will back the Jazz being at home and in a situation where they have exceled all season.

Arizona St Sun Devils -112

We have a PAC 12 matchup tonight when the Sun Devils host the Stanford Cardinal. These two teams played each other on Dec 29th on Stanford's home court in a game where the Sun Devils won a tight affair 76-73. These two teams have contrasting styles as the Cardinal play up tempo scoring in the mid 70 point range with regularity but are sloppy turning the ball over almost 13 times a game. The Sun Devils play a more defensive style causing a lot of turnovers on average 14 per game. This could end up being a long night for the Cardinal if they aren't flawless on the offensive end versus a tight defense. I like the home side in this game and will back the Sun Devils.
