After a bad return from injury on Friday, this is a good buyback spot for Beal's points prop. Beal has put in an inconsistent season for the Suns but with Durant out, the touches in the offense will be there. If you run down his game-by-game scoring, Beal tends to rally after a poor outing, averaging 19.3 points after failing to score at least 15 points in the previous game (when playing his usual floor time). His recent player props have seen his scoring totals range from 14.5 to 18.5 Over/Under and player projections for Beal’s matchup with New York are quite bullish on the Suns shooting guard. Beal’s forecasts range from 17.3 to 18.5 points with my number just shy of 17.5 points. That outcome should have the Over 15.5 points priced around -140 instead of -106.

Michael Porter Jr. thrives in the Nuggets' up-tempo offense and Nikola Jokic's playmaking skills. Both should be on full display tonight. Indiana doesn’t defend the perimeter well, and they could be without Pascal Siakam tonight. That will make defending the 3-point arc more difficult for Indiana than it has already been. Porter will get his looks, and the six-year vet averages nearly three made threes per night on 41% shooting at home. I like his chances of dropping 3+ triples against this inconsistent Pacers perimeter defense.

The Golden State Warriors are slight favorites when they host a Houston Rockets squad they've beaten in nine of 10. Golden State has dominated their recent history with Houston; the Warriors are 9-1-0 SU and 9-1-0 ATS across their last 10 with Houston. The Rockets are playing well; they've won eight of 10, but the Warriors are tough to beat at home (24-14 SU), and they are a terrible matchup for the Rockets. Take Golden State to cover.

Not many teams have beaten the Dubs lately, and Houston was one of those victims on February 13, losing 105-98. I do like the Rockets to cover, but it’s hard to bet against this current Golden State run. I think the Under is a great compromise. The Under has hit in three straight matchups this season, and the only game that went Over needed OT. Both teams are strong defensively, and we’re going to see their best in a crucial matchup inside the West’s Top 6.
