The Lakers are 1-5 across their last six games on the road, with their only win coming in double-overtime against the struggling Dubs.

They’ll take on a Boston Celtics outfit who boast the best home record in the league, 22-2!

The Celts claimed a comfortable 11-point victory over the Lakers in LA, and hold a handy 12-5 against Western Conference sides.

I’d be surprised if LeBron even takes the court here, and have the Celts cruising to an effortless victory.

The Cavs and the Grizz are set to meet for the first time this season.

Cleveland are on a tear at the moment, going 9-1 across their last 10 games, winning three of four road fixtures during that spell.

Meanwhile, Memphis are 4-6 across the same trip, falling further adrift of the Western Conference Play-in bracket.

I have the Cavs to cover the line without a hitch here.

The Timberwolves meet the Mavs for the fourth and final time during the regular season, and are looking to go 3-1 against their Western Conference rival.

Minnesota currently top the standings in the West with a 33-14 record, going 17-4 at home.

They’ll face a Mavericks’ side who are sitting in the play-in bracket with a 26-21 record, and have won just 11 of 28 games against +.500 sides.

I’m backing the Ant-man to go bucket for bucket with Luka, leading his side to a straightforward victory.

Interestingly, the away side has won the last six matchups between the Nuggets and OKC, with Denver claiming the W on their previous four trips to the Paycom Centre.

The Nuggs enter this fixture off the back of a convincing victory over the Bucks and look to be finding their groove halfway through the season.

Meanwhile, OKC has experiences a slight dip in form, going 6-4 across their last 10, slipping from top of the Western Conference standings to 3rd behind Minnesota and Denver.

I love a good trend, as such I’m backing the experienced head in Denver to school this young Thunder squad under their own roof.

The Knicks are out to collect their eighth straight win as they welcome the Jazz to MSG.

Alternatively, Utah are 2-4 across their last six games and are 9-18 on the road this season.

The Knicks are 19-9 against the line when starting the game as favourites, and I’m backing them to roll the Jazz here.

The Celtics and the Pacers are set to meet for the fifth and final time of the regular season, with the series poised at 2-2.

The Home side has covered the line in five of the last six meetings between this pair, with the Celtics flogging the Pacers by 51 points in their last matchup at TD Garden!

I’m backing the Celts to improve on their 21-2 home record with a comfortable win here.

Two of the competition’s top dogs are set to meet for the first time this season, as Giannis and the Bucks travel to Denver to take on Jokic and the Nuggs.

Denver are 18-4 at home this season, and are 15-5 against Eastern Conference sides.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are a modest 11-9 on the road and have just sacked their new coach within a year 6 months of his appointment.

I’m backing Jokic to take control of this fixture, leading Denver to a comfortable victory at home.

Following two straight defeats, the 76ers will be confident on returning to winning ways when they take on the Trail Blazers.

Only Boston (21), have won more fixture the 10+ points than Philly’s 20.

Alternatively, only the Hornets (23), have lost more games by 10+ points than Portland!

The Sixers claimed a 28-point win against the Blazers in Philly earlier in the season, and I think they do a similar job on the easy beats in Portland.

The Suns look to go 2-0 against the Magic when they travel to Orlando.

Prior to losing last time out, the Suns won seven straight fixtures, pulling themselves clear of the play-in zone.

Meanwhile, the Magic have lost seven of their previous nine games, as they continue to slide down the Eastern Conference standings.

I’m taking the Suns to complete a regular season sweep over Orlando =, coving the modest -1.5 point line.

*As of 25th Jan

The have won six games straight and are looking to get the better of the Pacers for the second time this week.

Alternatively, the Pacers are spiralling in the opposite direction, losing five of their last six games.

On top of poor form, Indiana will enter this match with a rest disadvantage, following a tough outing against the 76ers.

The Suns are beginning to look like real title contenders, and I’m backing them to cover the line with ease.

Indiana and Philly are set to meet of the third and final time during the regular season, with the series currently poised at 1-1.

The 76ers are riding a wave of six straight victories, with a average winning margin of 11 points.

Meanwhile, the Pacers have lost five of their last six games, falling into the play-in bracket.

I have Embiid putting the Sixers on his shoulders and carrying them to a comfortable win on the road.

The Knicks and the Nuggets meet for the first time this season, as the defending champs continue their East Coast road trip.

Both sides enter this matchup in spectacular form, the Knicks are 8-2 across their last 10 and riding a four game winning streak.

While, Denver are 7-3 across the same trip and have won their last three games on the road.

New York has been different beast at home this season, going 14-5 at MSG.

Meanwhile, Denver has only covered the line in eight of their 24 games on the road this season.

I’m backing the Knicks to cover on their home court.

The Heat look to break a run of three defeats when they welcome the Grizzlies to Miami.

Memphis have managed to go 5-5 across their last ten games despite having their roster obliterated by injury.

Miami also hold a 5-5 record across the same trip and have decided to shake things up by completing a trade for Charlottes Terry Rozier.

I believe the addition of scary Terry will pay dividends come the pointy end of the season, but we may see some initial regression from Miami.

A 10.5 line is a little ridiculous in this spot, and I’m taking the Grizz to cover.

The Thunder heads to San Antonio to take on the Spurs for the second time this season after bettering them by 36 points at home.

OKC are 13-8 on the road this season, covering the line on 12 occasions.

Meanwhile, the Spurs are 3-16 at home, covering under 50% of those fixtures.

I’m backing another blowout victory for the Thunder here, I can see them leading by double figures after the 2nd quarter.

The Pacers are out to break a two game losing streak when they host the imposing Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets are 4-1 across their last five games, including a 8-point victory against the Pacers last week.

Alternatively, the Pacers are 1-4 across their last five, and are 0-7 against Denver since 2021.

Indiana has only been involved in five games with a winning margin of 3 points or less, and I can’t see them getting close to Denver on this occasion.

The Clipper host the Lakers in a Hollywood showdown!

The Lakers are 2-0 against the Clippers this season, but have largely struggled on the road.

Fortunately for them, the Clipper currently share the same arena as the Lakers and I wouldn’t be surprised if the “visitors” have the lions share of support.

I’m backing the Lakers to push their noisy neighbours all the way to the brink here.

The Mavs and the Celtics meet for the first time this season as Kyrie welcomes his former side to Dallas.

Despite leading the comp and dominating at home, the Celtics have looked vulnerable on their travels, with a 13-9 road record, 3-3 across their last 6.

Meanwhile, Dallas are also a modest 13-9 at home this season, 5-2 across their last 7.

Dallas have been burdened by injury throughout the first half of the season, but both Kyrie and Doncic are fighting fit at the moment and they’d fancy themselves agains any outfit at home.

I’m backing Dallas to cover as underdogs at home with Boston playing the 2nd of back-to-back road fixtures.

The Kings enter this game off the back of a horror run of fixtures which included road defeats to Philly, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

They’ll take on a Hawks side who they’ve already bettered on the road this season.

The Hawks are missing a host of their players, including Trae Young and De’Andre Hunter.

I have the Kings bouncing back from a tough run, running through the Hawks with ease.
