De’Andre Hunter has scored at least 18 points in eight straight games. In seven of those games, he scored at least 20 points. That included a game against the Bucks in which he scored 20 points over 28 minutes. Helping his cause is that he is shooting 44.6% from behind the arc. With how locked in he is right now, I’m playing this over again.

Kevin Durant is expected to return for this game, meaning that the Suns will finally have their entire starting five healthy again. The Suns are 11-2 in games that Durant has played this season. Durant was out the last time these two teams played each other, but the Suns still won by eight points in Utah. The Jazz are 2-10 over their last 12 games with seven of those losses coming by at least eight points. This is a great spot for the Suns.

Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey are all expected to play in this game. That provides a huge boost to the 76ers, but another reason to like them to cover the spread is that the Pacers have been atrocious on the road. They are 4-10 ATS on the road. Recently, they suffered a nine-point loss on the road against the Nets and an 11-point loss on the road against the Raptors. A healthy 76ers team is vastly superior to both of those squads.

Malik Monk has averaged 34 minutes over the last seven games. That enabled him to record at least 23 combined points and assists six times. He only played 27 minutes in a blowout win at home over the Jazz on Sunday, but he still had 16 points and three assists. The Pelicans have just five wins this season, but four of them have come at home. I think they keep this game close enough for Monk to log more than 30 minutes and hit this over.

Cade Cunningham has recorded at least nine assists in 13 of his last 14 games. During that span, he averaged 10.6 assists per game. The first he played the Celtics this season, he had 10 assists. In their second meeting, he had 14 assists. Cunningham has the ball in his hands a ton and he has some very good shooters around him, making the over the way to go here.

This is a spot for the young Rockets to prove themselves. They currently occupy the third seed in the Western Conference and are 9-3 at home. They will look to advance in the NBA Cup against the Warriors, who are 4-6 over their last 10 games. The Rockets have lost both previous games to the Warriors this season, one in overtime at home and one by six points on the road. They are too good to lose three straight games to the same team.

De’Andre Hunter is instant offense off the bench for the Hawks. He is averaging 19.3 points per game this season and shooting 47.8% from the field. Entering this matchup, he has scored at least 18 points in seven straight games. In six of those games, he scored at least 20 points. During that seven-game span, he shot 49.0% from behind the arc. He’s too hot right now to ignore this wager.

The Bucks are 8-4 at home with six of those wins coming by at least seven points. They are the healthiest that they have been in a while with Khris Middleton expected to play his third straight game. The Magic won’t have health on their side with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner out. The Magic haven’t been nearly as good on the road as they have at home this season, so this is setting up to be a great spot for the Bucks to cover the spread.

RJ Barrett is averaging 5.8 three-point attempts per game this season, which is up from 4.3 attempts per game last season. He is shooting 34.4% from deep, so his added attempts have helped him make at least two three-pointers in seven of his last 10 games. The Knicks rank 20th in three-point shooting percentage allowed, so the over is the way to go here with Barrett.

Malik Monk has logged at least 32 minutes in each of the last five games. That helped him score at least 17 points in each of those games. The Spurs just allowed 139 points to the Bulls on Thursday and could have tired legs during the second game of a back-to-back set. This is a great spot for Monk to score in bunches.

This is becoming one of my favorite player props to bet. Nikola Vucevic is shooting 46.8% from behind the arc this season. That has contributed to him making at least two three-pointers in eight of his last nine games. This should be a high-scoring game between two teams that rank inside the top-eight in the league in pace of play. I’m taking the over again.

The Celtics are 9-1 over their last 10 games. Six of those victories came by at least nine points. The Bucks have played better lately, but they have been beating up on bad teams like the Pistons, Wizards and Hornets. Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are all listed as questionable for this first game of a back-to-back set for the Celtics, but I think at least one of them will play, leaving the Celtics with a great opportunity for a decisive victory.

With the team struggling, the Kings have turned to Malik Monk to play more. He has logged at least 35 minutes in four straight games and even started the last two. With him playing more, he recorded at least 12 combined rebounds and assists in each game. The Grizzlies have played at the third-fastest pace in the league, making this over even more appealing for Monk.

Nikola Vucevic is locked in from behind the arc. He is shooting 47.6% on his three-point attempts, which has helped him record at least two made three-pointers in seven of his last eight games. With Victor Wembanyama out for the Spurs, two underwhelming options in Zach Collins and Charles Bassey will be left to defend Vucevic. Vucevic could also receive added shot attempts with Coby White out.

The Wizards are a trainwreck right now. Not only have they lost 15 straight games, but all of those losses came by at least nine points. With regards to this line, the Wizards lost nine of those 15 games by at least 14 points. The Mavericks have won nine of their last 10 games and have a mostly clean injury report for this matchup. Meanwhile, the Wizards have already ruled out Kyle Kuzma and Corey Kispert, while Malcolm Brogdon is questionable. Don’t expect the Wizards to be able to keep this close.
