The Lakers are one of the best teams in the league, winners of seven straight, but they will be without Austin Reaves and are up against a surging Suns squad that has won four of its last five. This will also be Phoenix's seventh straight home game, while it's LA's fourth straight road game. The line says it all, we're taking Phoenix outright.
The Knicks are struggling, but there's no better opponent for them to get-right against than the Toronto Raptors, who they've beaten 10 straight times while covering in nine of those. The line is suspiciously low given that tidbit, as well as the Raptors' poor form and injury situation, but the Knicks should at least get the dub here.
The Bucks are a straight fade until further notice, winning just one of their 13 games to this point. They haven't been all that competitive, either, as they've failed to surpass 100 points in three of their last four. Remember when this was the ECF matchup in 2021? That feels like ages ago.
