I like the Heat in this spot, and I don't think there are a lot of stats to back it up. The Kings have won four in a row and are on the fourth game of their road trip. On the fourth game of a road trip this season, they are 0-2 straight up and against the spread in the first half.

This is a feel spot for me. The Heat are the perfectly built team to give the Kings problems both offensively and defensively.

The Heat outsiders are discussing breaking up the core of the roster. They have lost seven in a row and are in a bad place, but the history says this is a good spot for the Heat and a bad spot for Sacramento.

If they lose this game, than this is an indicator for how bad things actually are. This is the definition of a get-right spot.

Damian Lillard Over 9.5 Rebounds + Assists at Trail Blazers

10 p.m. ET ⋅ ESPN

By Albert Nguyen

Lillard is returning to Portland for the first time since the trade, so everyone will be looking at his points prop. I think he will be doing other things regardless of if the shots are falling. He has been getting a lot of rebounds of late and has been hitting this number.

I think he will want to do it all for the Bucks tonight outside of just scoring.
