It appears that just the Warriors are on a back-to-back. However, in this case, since none of the Warriors starters actually played, it should not be treated as such. Golden State sitting everyone moved them back to the three seed in the West. I think for the Warriors this is not that significant, but for Memphis is, will matter a whole lot more. Memphis is not supposed to be where they are and staying in that two-spot giving them home court against everyone but Phoenix will be critical if they are going to make a run. They just need to stop losing to Houston randomly.
With a win tonight the, healthy except Ben Simmons Nets can pull into the eighth seed jumping the Hornets, whom they play tonight. The Suns play in Orlando in what could be their last game without Devin Booker. Cam Johnson is also out for Phoenix. The Suns are road 6-point road favorites in Orlando tonight, the Raptors lost in a similar spot last week.
Jarrett Allen hurt his finger and is out, but the Cavs remain 3-point road favorites at Indiana. The Cavs are 2-6 over their last eight games and appear to be headed the wrong direction. It was fun while it lasted in Cleveland, but the future looks a lot better than anticipated.
Memphis is -5.5 hosting the somehow interesting New Orleans Pelicans. Herb Jones has been locking down the best player on opposing teams and making things very difficult. Will he find his way to guard Ja tonight? I would have to assume that happens at some point. The Pelicans have won four of their last five with the only loss being that OT game against the Nuggets the other night, where Jokic went insane.
The Bucks are massive favorites against the Thunder and their ten-man team. I have been enjoying betting overs for SGA, but it is the point where you have to assume he does not get much fourth-quarter run since they will be down 20+ like usual.
Lastly, the rested Warriors get to host the Clippers. I am sure not many people notice but the Warriors are 2-9 in their last eleven games. Yes, you read that correctly. This team needs Draymond Green back desperately. This might just be too many points to lay for the Warriors right now. If you remove a game against Portland, it has been a month since the Warriors won and covered as a favorite.
If the sites add more boosts, I will update this later!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
NBA Choose Day 20% Profit boost on any wager up to $50 (DK)
Of course you should use this!
Ja to score 40+ +500 (DK)
I mentioned Herb Jones defense right?
Ja’s prop is set to 29.5. Ja to score 40+ pays +470 on another site. This is a very small boost. Considering what is asked and whom they are playing, I am passing. The other night the Jazz were 0-10 with Herb Jones as the closest defender. Donovan Mitchell went 0-6 with Jones on him. When they played in November, Jones held Morant to two for six shooting when he was guarding him. Pass for me.
Kyrie and Rozier to combine for 50+ points +220 (DK)
Back for the combined boosts is DK.
Kyrie’s prop is set to 23.5.
Rozier’s prop is set to 20.5. Obviously, they both need to go over for this to come in, or one of them goes off a little. I would rather parlay them to go over at +242. Pass on this boost.
CHA/CLE/MEM to all win +450 (FOX)
I mean, they have a dog and two small favorites. I am running away. This should also pay +477. Easy pass.
NBA
Clippers +7
I laid out my case above. The Warriors are just not right at the moment and need Dray back. I am fading them as a favorite.
JA Morant Under 29.5 Points
I laid out my case. You should know about Herb Jones at this point.
