Best bets for Thursday, Jan. 15

Two Western Conference contenders collide Thursday as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder visit Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. The Thunder have won four in a row and finally got a victory over the Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, who seemed to have the defending champions' number this season. The Rockets have been one of the best home teams in the league with a 12-2 mark at Toyota Center. The SportsLine Projection Model has the Rockets covering the 4.5-point spread in 68% of simulations and winning outright in 59% of simulations, good for "B" grade plays in both markets.

In NHL action, the Vegas Golden Knights are looking to keep their red-hot play of late going when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs, a team that is starting to come back from a bad start. Toronto has won seven of its last 10 games while Vegas is on a five-game winning streak, most recently taking out the Kings 3-2. The SportsLine model sees that run ending Thursday, as Toronto wins in 51% of simulations to bring value as a +115 underdog.
