Dallas -11.5 v LA Lakers ($1.88)
This is a quality spot for Dallas, who should be able to cover against the Lakers for the fifth straight time. Dallas have covered four of five home games and 14 of 20 playing on one day of rest. The Lakers have been a diabolical betting proposition, covering just 2 of 9 road games and just 1 of 6 as an underdog.

Washington ($2.40) v Chicago
Washington have covered four of their last five as an underdog with three of those resulting in wins with the Wizards finding some form at the backend of the season. The Bulls have covered just 6 of 26 road games and have failed to cover their last five against losing teams. Washington are a sound play.
