Rockets +2 vs. Thunder
8 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Jay Money
The Thunder should probably be laying 4 points here so the fact that this line opened up so low tells me the Rockets ought to win this game. The Rockets are 4-0 straight up and against the spread in their last four games at the House against the Thunder.
They are coming off three-straight losses so I expect them to bounce-back. I am buying the Rockets off the loss and fading the Thunder coming off a win over the Mavericks.

Bulls -4.5 vs. Hornets
8 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Sean Little
This is a really good spot for the Bulls to pick up their third-straight win without Zach LaVine. The Bulls are 1-8 on the road so I will take them when they are playing at home, because they play that much better on their own floor.
The Hornets are cooked. They now will be without LaMelo Ball for the foreseeable future and the offense has struggled mightily in his absence. The Bulls have a great matchup here defensively and should be able to hold the Hornets to under 100 points.

Mavericks +1H -6 vs. Jazz
8:30 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
Mavericks have not been playing well with some missed games between Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. I think this is an important bounce-back spot for Dallas to get on the same page heading into this middle of the season stretch.
The Jazz are in the midst of a brutal schedule. Having to play home-away-home-away-home in 5 straight games. I like the Mavericks to still cover the full game spread but I prefer first half. The Mavericks have handled business against bad teams this season.
