New York Knicks -13.5 (vs Sacramento Kings) @ 20/23

The Knicks are starting to look back to their best after enjoying back-to-back wins recently over the Nets and 76ers, and they should have no issues in dispatching a struggling Kings outfit.

Sacramento continue to be surrounded by trade speculation and they've struggled for consistency all season long. However, they did manage to cause an upset when the pair met a fortnight ago, as the Knicks struggled to cope without star man Jalen Brunson, who left the game prematurely due to injury.

I expect NY to win this game comfortably, especially at home, and with Brunson back and firing.

Detroit Pistons -6.5 (@ Denver Nuggets) @ 10/11

It always feels strange to go against Denver at home, but I really can't look past the Pistons here as Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon will be missing for the Nuggets.

Detroit have been one of the best teams in the league this term, and they currently sit top of the Eastern Conference, and I don't see their winning ways slowing down here.

Cade Cunningham is playing at an MVP-level at the moment, and with Denver missing a couple of key players, they may struggle to keep up offensively.

Los Angeles Clippers -9.5 (@ Utah Jazz) @ 21/20

The Clippers have turned their poor form around in recent weeks, winning four of their last five outings.

They come into this contest off the back of wins over the Lakers and Nets, and I don't see the Jazz putting up much of a fight on Wednesday night. Kawhi Leonard is still one of the premier scorers in the NBA, and he’s an unselfish player - he's been key to the Clippers' mini-revival of late.

Utah are third-bottom in the West and have lost four of their last five, so let's take the Clippers to cover a big spread here.
