Heat 1H Moneyline vs. Kings
7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Jay Money
I like the Heat in this spot, and I don't think there are a lot of stats to back it up. The Kings have won four in a row and are on the fourth game of their road trip. On the fourth game of a road trip this season, they are 0-2 straight up and against the spread in the first half.
This is a feel spot for me. The Heat are the perfectly built team to give the Kings problems both offensively and defensively.
Pick: Heat 1H Moneyline |

Heat -1 vs. Kings
7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Matt Moore
The Heat outsiders are discussing breaking up the core of the roster. They have lost seven in a row and are in a bad place, but the history says this is a good spot for the Heat and a bad spot for Sacramento.
If they lose this game, than this is an indicator for how bad things actually are. This is the definition of a get-right spot.

Damian Lillard Over 9.5 Rebounds + Assists at Trail Blazers
10 p.m. ET ⋅ ESPN
Lillard is returning to Portland for the first time since the trade, so everyone will be looking at his points prop. I think he will be doing other things regardless of if the shots are falling. He has been getting a lot of rebounds of late and has been hitting this number.
I think he will want to do it all for the Bucks tonight outside of just scoring.
