6:00PM CT: Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls -2; Total 220
The Miami Heat have been struggling for awhile now. The East is so bad they somehow still are making the Play-In Game. Chicago won the last two games against the Heat as well with all of the current post trade deadline players. Both of these teams can play some defense but the Miami Heat offense can get stagnant. The Bulls’ offense has been on fire lately. I don’t want to play the total due Miami being sporadic on offense. Give me the team that has won all three matchups this season, momentum and better scoring offense tonight. I’m backing the Bulls. You can’t ever count out an Eric Spoelstra team but I think the tide is turning for the Bulls.

9:00PM CT: Dallas Mavericks vs. Sacramento Kings -4.5; Total 213
It is no secret what this Mavericks franchise has put itself through in the last couple of months. Their nightmare of a season may be over tonight. They have struggled against the Kings this season as well but have not faced them with their new lineup without Kyrie and with Anthony Davis. I don’t think that will matter much in this one. I just don’t see it with Dallas. Kings are better in every way on offense, defense and the bench. Maybe the Mavs can rally but I just can’t see it. I’m staying away from the total because it feels like they are begging for OVER money. In a blowout this could stay UNDER. Looks too obvious for the OVER. Pass.
