Atlanta Hawks vs. Chicago Bulls, 8:00PM ET

Our DimersBOT gives the Bulls a 57% chance of winning this game outright, which is really all they'll need to do in order to cover the 1-point spread on this game. Chicago is already 2-0 against the spread when facing Atlanta this season, with the Bulls having split wins outright with the Hawks in two games played at State Farm Arena. Now that they're back in Chicago, we expect the Bulls to please their fans. 

Chicago has won and covered in each of its last two games, and the team has now gone 11-4-1 ATS over its last 16 games. The Hawks have also gone just 40-58 ATS in road games under Nate McMillan, and they're a lousy 7-20 ATS in road games in which they're playing their third game in four days under him. That means that they don't perform at a high level when they're lacking in rest. 

The Bulls are also one of the few teams that have the perimeter scoring to match everything that Trae Young and Dejounte Murray can do together. 

DID YOU KNOW? Atlanta's Dejounte Murray has dished out less than 6.5 assists in 18 of his last 25 appearances? That and more in our NBA Trends section.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers, 10:00PM ET

The Blazers are a much better team than the Spurs, but they expended a lot of energy in last night's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. And while we do expect Portland to find a way to win this one outright, it's going to be hard for the team to blow out San Antonio on the second night of a back-to-back — even if it's another home game. 

The Spurs also happen to be playing some good basketball right now. While San Antonio is just 2-8 in its last 10 games, the team is 7-3 ATS in that time. The Spurs have been keeping games close and that's all you can ask for here. 

San Antonio also happens to be coming off two full days of rest, so the Spurs will have a lot more energy than the home team in this one. The DimersBOT also likes this pick, with the Spurs having a 53% chance to cover in our model. 

SAY WHAT? San Antonio's Jeremy Sochan has scored more than 10.5 points in 11 of his last 17 appearances. You can find more stats like this in our NBA Trends section.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Sacramento Kings, 10:30PM ET

The Grizzlies are also playing the second night of a back-to-back, but theirs was on the road and they'll now travel to take on a very good Kings team. Sacramento already has some advantages over Memphis, with its offense being one of them.

The Kings are second in the league in offensive rating, and they should be able to take advantage of that if both teams are out and running. Memphis used a lot of energy to try and come back against the Phoenix Suns last night, so the team could have tired legs early on. 

Look for De'Aaron Fox to push the pace here, as he'll want to get the Grizzlies working early. And overall, we see home-court advantage being massive in this one, as Sacramento has some great fans and should be pumped for this Western Conference showdown. 

TREND: We've also identified an NBA trend for Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis that's worth consideration. Sabonis has collected more than 13.5 rebounds in nine of his last 15 appearances.

BET: Kings +1.5 (-110) with DraftKings ➡️ here ⬅️.
