DraftKings. FanDuel / MGM. With the Lakers resting everyone, this is a spot where I expect gamescript to strongly favor the Spurs. This should spell more time for Dylan Harper, whose up and down rookie year has flowed more of late (cleared this line in three of the last four games). Look for the rookie to clear this line against the Lakers skeleton crew tonight.

With Devin Booker back to active duty (scoring 21 against the Sixers on Saturday), the Suns might start looking more like the Suns again, though they won't be completely whole until Grayson Allen returns from his knee injury sometime after the All-Star break. Still, Booker (25.3 ppg) provides that sharp edge Phoenix has missed lately, and even as the Suns lost narrowly to Philly on the weekend, they're still 12-5 in the last seventeen games in which Booker has played. Meanwhile, the Mavs seem directionless as the losing streak hits seven and the team tries to recalibrate after the distractions at the trade deadline. Cooper Flagg's points aren't enough if the defense sags as it did in recent losses to the Spurs. Play Suns

LSU leading scorer Dedan Thomas Jr. (15.3 ppg, 6.5 apg) will miss his third straight game. He had 18 points and five assists when the Tigers went to Fayetteville, Ark., on Jan. 24 and nearly pulled the upset, losing 85-81. Arkansas ranks seventh in offensive efficiency. While the Razorbacks likely will be thin with Karter Knox and D.J. Wagner doubtful, they have enough talent to overcome those absences. LSU has lost its last two home games by double digits.

Dillon Brooks has scored at least 22 points in seven of his last eight games. All seven of those games were played at home, where he averages 25.1 points per game for the season. He will be at home again Tuesday for a Suns team that will be without Grayson Allen (knee). Jalen Green also remains on a minutes restriction. I have been playing the over on Brooks’ points prop at home a lot and I continue to like it for this matchup.

We're pretty sure no one has to remind Jon Scheyer that fellow Dookie and Coach K disciple Jeff Capel upset him with his Pitt side two years ago at Cameron Indoor...something Scheyer likely didn't have to remind his Blue Devils in their one matchup vs. the Panthers last season that Duke won by 29. Now another factor could favor the Blue Devils as they're off a rare loss, a grating one at that to Tobacco Road enemy UNC. Tonight, who better to take out some frustrations against than the Panthers, enduring a miserable campaign and off three straight double-digit defeats. Here's a chance for Cameron Boozer (23.3 ppg) to do some real damage. Play Duke.
