New York Knicks -3 (-110) over Orlando Magic
The Knicks were rolling, got Jalen Brunson back and beat the Western Conference-leading Nuggets as everything was looking up. But now they have lost 2 straight games, even with Julius Randle dropping 57 points in one of the losses. It’s been their defense that has crumbled recently; they have allowed 140 and 127 points in their most recent losses. However, tonight’s game offers a great opportunity to right the ship. Orlando is not a dynamic offense and has only scored more than 115 points in 1 of its last 5 games. The Magic are a slower-paced offense that is methodical about their attack, and that should benefit the Knicks since they defend the half-court well compared to in transition. New York should get back in the win column tonight.

Cleveland Cavaliers win by 1-10 (+170) over Brooklyn Nets
These teams just played in Brooklyn on Tuesday and they are going to run it back in the same arena tonight. Cleveland closed as a 4-point favorite in Tuesday’s game and is once again a 4-point fave tonight. While I do think the Cavaliers will win the game, the Nets have proven to be a feisty opponent. Brooklyn is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games but has lost by 1-10 points in 3 of the 4. The Nets are still trying to develop chemistry with the little time they have left in the season, and Mikal Bridges has shown that he can put up 30 points against any defense. Cleveland should dominate the paint with Jarrett Allen and Even Mobley, but the Nets can hang around enough for their 4th straight loss by single-digits.

Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+154) over Los Angeles Clippers
If there was ever a time to pounce on the Clippers, it would be right now. Los Angeles just lost Paul George to a knee injury during Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder, and these teams will meet again in L.A. on Thursday. The Thunder won Tuesday’s matchup by 1 point, and a big reason for that was George going down. George had 18 points when he left the game and the Clippers finished with just 19 points in the 4th quarter, which sealed their fate. Now on Thursday, the Thunder should expose that hole in their lineup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been lights out recently, and he’s been getting the help he needs from Josh Giddey, Lu Dort and Jalen Williams. Oklahoma City is mis-priced tonight; this game should be closer to a pick’em. With that in mind, I’ll grab the Thunder’s money line as the final leg of this parlay.
