BEST BETS

Harper: Kings (-2.5) over Timberwolves. The Wolves continue to be really bad at home and the Kings are a bit of a nightmare matchup for them. Sacramento wants to push the ball and create some chaos. If the Wolves don’t get off to a good start defensively, that Kings style should make life miserable for them.

Pandian: Knicks (-6.5) over Sixers. Jahlil Okafor should give the Knicks fits down low but the lowly Sixers won’t be able to contain Carmelo Anthony. This could potentially be a rare blowout win for the Knicks.

Herbert: Memphis (+2.5) at Dallas. The Grizzlies are in a weird place, but they dominated Dallas earlier this season and Dirk Nowitzki is in a shooting slump. I’ll take my chances with the underdog.
