San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: The Wembanyama Question Makes This Line Volatile
The Spurs are laying 6 on the road, but Victor Wembanyama’s questionable status changes everything about this matchup. Bryan Bash breaks down why Memphis +6 is the play in a game where San Antonio’s injury uncertainty makes the margin too tight.
Heat vs Timberwolves Prediction: Minnesota’s Depth Advantage Looks Underpriced
Minnesota lays 6 points at home against a shorthanded Miami squad, and the spread feels light. With Tyler Herro questionable and the Heat struggling at 7-10 on the road, the Timberwolves’ depth and two-way balance should control this matchup over 96 possessions. Bash breaks down why Minnesota covers comfortably.
Hornets vs Thunder Prediction: Why OKC’s Efficiency Edge Makes This Number Playable
The Thunder are laying 15.5 at home against a Hornets team that just snapped a losing streak. Bryan Bash breaks down why OKC’s efficiency edge and home dominance make this number playable, despite Charlotte’s offensive firepower.
Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction: Why Portland’s Depth Edge Makes 6 Feel Light
Portland’s laying 6 at home against Utah, and the market’s undervaluing the Blazers’ depth advantage. With the Jazz struggling to 4-11 on the road and dealing with frontcourt injuries, Portland’s multi-faceted offense should create enough separation to cover comfortably at Moda Center.
