Memphis Grizzlies @ Indiana Pacers (IND -9.5, 216.5) 7:10 PM
Charlotte Hornets @ Miami Heat (MIA -11.5, 213) 7:40 PM
Los Angeles Lakers @ San Antonio Spurs (LAL -4.5, 223) 8:40 PM
How about a three team parlay to kick off our Monday? The Pacers host the Grizzlies and are 6-1 at home this season as a favorite and shouldn’t have trouble with the Grizzles who have lost 3 straight. The Heat are one of four teams to not lose at home, going 6-0 to this point in the season. The Hornets are just 2-6 as a road underdog. Finally, I just can’t see LeBron losing to the Spurs who just snapped their 7 game losing streak by beating the Knicks. The Lakers are 6-1 on the road this season. Although the Spurs are 4-4 at home, they are just 1-7 ATS.

Memphis Grizzlies @ Indiana Pacers (IND -9.5, 216.5) 7:10 PM
We made good money on taking the over the last time the Pacers were on the court. However, in the 4 games prior to that, the under hit in all four with an average margin from the total of 19.5. The Pacers have held their last 7 opponents to 99.7 ppg and that includes matchups against the the number 1 (Milwaukee) and number 2 (Houston) ranked offenses in the league. Memphis ranks 17th in ppg and I expect the Pacers to keep their offense in check at home.

Charlotte Hornets @ Miami Heat (MIA -11.5, 213) 7:40 PM
The Heat have been the best team to bet on at home this season. They have covered in all 6 games at home. They have also covered all 8 games they have been favored. That’s good, because now they are home and favored. Sure, they are coming off a 27 point loss to the 76ers, but the games after their previous 3 losses, the Heat are 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS with an average margin of victory of 13.3. Now they get the Hornets, who have lost their last 4 straight up, including a heart breaker to the Bulls at the buzzer. They had failed to cover in the previous 3 games, but covered the 2 point spread against the Bulls. Hey, at least they have that.
Bet: MIA -11.5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Hornets 100 Heat 117
Today’s Record: 2-1
