Sacramento Kings vs. Philadelphia 76ers, 7:00PM ET

The Kings have De'Aaron Fox listed as questionable for this game, but we think this is too many points to be giving them either way. Sacramento is now 12-6 straight-up and 11-7 against the spread in its last 18 games, and this team is just tough to beat these days. So, even with the Kings potentially being shorthanded, we think they're capable of making this a respectable showing. 

While Joel Embiid has been a monster in the paint this year, he could get a bit worn out by having to defend Domantas Sabonis on the other end. That'll make things tough on the Sixers later in this game, and the Kings also happen to have the luxury of putting Davion Mitchell on James Harden late in the game. Mitchell has the ability to stay in front of Harden and really make him work for everything. 

Sacramento is also 9-5 ATS as an underdog this season, and the team is also 8-5 ATS in road games.

Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 7:30PM ET

You can't always count on the Warriors in the regular season, but we expect the defending champions to get up for this one, much like they did against the Celtics on Saturday. Golden State earned a 123-107 win over that Boston team and the group will now look to make a statement against Milwaukee in the first night of a six-game road trip. And while that trip might not sound pleasant for the Warriors, they do have an extra day of rest over their opponents here and you can't ever discount that. 

Since Steve Kerr became the head coach of Golden State, the team is 54-32 ATS when playing teams with winning percentages of 70.0% or higher. The Warriors have won those games by an average of 4.8 points per game, too. 

This is just going to come down to whether or not Golden State can slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo. But with Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and potentially Andrew Wiggins (questionable), the Warriors have some length to throw on him. That should be enough to disrupt him a bit, especially when the rest of the Bucks can't be counted on to match the firepower of the Warriors.

Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 10:00PM ET

We're big on reverse line movement and fading the public when possible, but it's just hard to lay off the Celtics as such small favorites in this game. Sure, Boston is coming off of a rough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers last night, but this team is just so much better than LeBron James and Co. right now.

Whereas the Lakers are currently just 21st in the offensive rating and 15th in defensive rating, the Celtics sit at first in offensive rating (with a historically good offense) and 10th in defensive rating. They are just much, much better than the Lakers on both ends of the floor and this isn't exactly a road atmosphere that is intimidating. If anything, it offers a big stage in which Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will want to go off. 

BET: Celtics -3 (-110) with DraftKings ➡️ here ⬅️.
