New Orleans +1.5 at LA Lakers ($1.82)
The Pelicans have found their rhythm now CJ McCollum has settled into the system. New Orleans have covered seven straight road games and including five straight as a road underdog. They have covered five of six against a team with a losing record. The Lakers are at a crossroads and after covering just 8 of 25 against teams with a losing road record, this is not a spot for the Lakers to fire back into contention.

Dallas ($2.38) at Golden State
Dallas looks a major runner in this trip to Golden State. Dallas have covered 7 of 8 overall and 5 of 6 as a road underdog. They also have an excellent record against the elite teams. Golden State have covered just 1 of 7 as a favourite and none of their last five home games. The Mavs enter this game offering plenty of value.
