BEST BETS

Zach Harper: Suns (-2.5) OVER Bulls. The Suns are sneaky good and they’ve been fantastic against the spread this season (7-3 overall, 5-2 at home). The Bulls have been very inconsistent on the court and are just 3-7 against the spread. Ride the hot hand of the Suns.

Nick Kostos: Jazz -4.5 OVER Raptors. Toronto will be beat after Tuesday night against the Dubs, handing Utah a golden opportunity to win — and cover — at home.

Matt Moore: Kings +3.5 OVER Hawks. The Hawks are on a back to back, and have been in a slump. The Kings are red hot and fresh. I know it’s crazy to suggest the Kings might have it in them to be successful for more than a week, but with Cousins inside, they’ve always got a shot.
