Hawks vs. Nets
Word that top scorer Cam Thomas is out again shouldn't be regarded as the worst news for the Nets.
That's because Brooklyn was winless in the six games since Thomas made his recent return to active duty, so word that a hamstring strain likely keeps him out the rest of the season has a different consequence, as Jordi Fernandez had his team playing at a slower pace and sharing the ball more effectively minus a heavy ball-usage force like Thomas.
Remember, in February, the Nets had a 7-2 SU stretch minus-Thomas.
Without Thomas, Brooklyn also pushed the Celtics to the wall on Saturday, while the Hawks' recent uptick was derailed on Friday in a heavy home loss to the Clippers. Play Nets.
Pick: Nets +6 (-110)

Jazz vs. Timberwolves
By Joe Dellera
Anthony Edwards and the Wolves get a Sunday matchup against the Utah Jazz today.
With Utah recently getting in some hot water for violating the Player Participation Policy, I expect their best players to be available, which helps us avoid a blowout.
Edwards has crushed this line against Utah. He’s cleared this in six consecutive games against them with 42 Points + Rebounds (PR) in the one game this season. Overall on the season, he is averaging 33.9 PR and hitting this in 53% of games.
Utah has the worst defense in the league and is playing at the seventh-fastest pace. This is an excellent spot for Ant to clean up.
Pick: Anthony Edwards Over 31.5 Points + Rebounds (-130)

Hornets vs. Clippers
Friday was a real eye-opener when the Hornets hung 145 points on the Spurs.
