BEST BETS

Moore: Dallas (-8.5) over Bucks: The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS as home favorites this season, while the Bucks are sub-.500 ATS as a road dog.

Herbert: Cavs (-8.5) over Phoenix: The Suns are falling apart, and the Eric Bledsoe injury doesn’t help. Not a great time to run into Cleveland.

Pandian: Pacers (-2) over Hawks: Atlanta has won their last seven games but I can see Paul George and the Pacers causing that streak to end in Indianapolis on Monday.
