Indiana is 18-59 and plays at a fast pace, allowing 121.8 points per game while still scoring 113.9, leading to frequent high totals. Cleveland, 48-29, averages 118.6 points behind Donovan Mitchell and James Harden and has seen recent games trend higher in scoring. With Indiana’s tempo and defensive issues combined with Cleveland’s efficiency, this sets up as a high-scoring matchup.

Minnesota has really struggled offensively without Edwards and McDaniels, and they may struggle to compete with the high-scoring Hornets here. Charlotte has won 3 in a row, putting up a ton of points, and they’re in a more desperate position as they chase the top six.

The over has hit in six of the last eight games for the Utah Jazz. They have lost their last five games, but they have covered as heavy underdogs in three of their last five. The over has hit in four of the Thunder’s last five games. This is only the third time this season the Thunder have had a total of 239 or higher. In both previous meetings this season, the over has landed.

The Lakers just lost Doncic and Reaves, who combined for over 66 points per game and are their two leading scorers. That might be too much to overcome, even against a sub-par Mavericks team that’s struggled all year long. Rookie Cooper Flagg just had a historic 51-point performance in the loss to Orlando, and he can stake his claim for the Rookie of the Year award against the Lakers on national television here.

The Clippers will be out to bounce back after losing two straight games, while the Kings’ draft hopes have taken a hit after back-to-back wins. Sacramento have only won three straight games once this season, while they are only 33-45 against the spread. The Clippers need this win after dropping to ninth in the West, and they should take care of the Kings in comfortable fashion.
