Boom Best
Milwaukee -2.5 at LA Lakers ($1.78)
The Lakers are a team in sharp decline and this line does not reflect that. They came back to win over the Knicks on the weekend but trailed by 21 early on. They are an awful 16-37 against the spread off a win and have covered just 7 of 22 against teams with a winning record. The Bucks have covered four of five as a favourite and have the shooting to tear the Lakers apart.

Boom Outsider
LA Clippers ($3.70) at Memphis
The Clippers are still missing their star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George but have enough talent to push Memphis, particularly since Norman Powell joined the squad over the weekend. The Clippers have won five of their last eight outright when an underdog. Memphis have a hot hand but the Clips are over the odds.

Boom Total
Under 217.5 Phoenix at Philadelphia ($1.92)
Keen to be on the under in this one between two elite teams. The 76ers are a big under team. They have gone under the total in 11 of 16 home games and in 19 of 26 after scoring 100-plus points. The under has hit in six straight when Philadelphia are off a win of 10 or more points. The under is 2–6 when the Suns are off a winning home record and 9-1 when Phoenix are a road underdog. This total is too big.
