BEST BETS

Herbert: Detroit (-7.5) at Philadelphia: After what happened in Brooklyn, I’m done with taking the Sixers. This team just cannot score.

Harper: Oklahoma City (-2.5) at Utah: Even with the Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back, they obliterated the Jazz the first time they played in Utah. This time? Jazz are without Rudy Gobert and look shaky defensively because of it. Thunder should feast.

Moore: Hornets (+3.5) at Memphis: Memphis is 3-9 ATS at home this season, and they are especially susceptible to good defensive teams who shoot the 3-ball. That’s Charlotte. This has “danger zone” written all over it.

These guys refuse to lose. (USATSI)
