BEST BETS

Herbert: Spurs (-6.5) at Heat. I know a too-low Spurs line when I see it. San Antonio is much, much better than Miami, so let’s not overthink this.

Harper: Jazz (+1.5) at Mavericks. Mavericks are just 3-6 against the spread over their last nine games, and the Jazz are on a six-game win streak. I’ll take the points with the hot team right now.

Pandian: Celtics (-4) at Bucks: Boston has been rolling as of late and should be able to easily handle Milwaukee on the road.

Will the Jazz start creeping toward the 6-seed? (USATSI)
