Spurs Moneyline (-150) Over Wizards

The Moneyline has increased by 25 points since the morning line, but there is still a lot of value here. San Antonio has played pretty well since trading Derrick White to Boston, winning three of their final four games before the All-Star break. Dejounte Murray continues to lead the way, and he has produced two double-doubles and a triple-double in his last four appearances. Meanwhile, Keldon Johnson, Doug McDermott, Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker IV have stepped up their production lately.

Washington continues to be up and down. The Wizards entered the All-Star break having won three of five, though Bradley Beal (out for season) and Kristaps Porzingis remain sidelined. OddsShopper gives the Spurs a 54% chance of winning the game.

Heat Spread (-5.5) Over Knicks; Under 210 Points

Miami is in a dogfight with Chicago for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, as they sit a half game behind the Bulls, who defeated the Hawks 112-108 last night. The Heat were rolling before the All-Star break, winning six of seven, as was Jimmy Butler. Butler averaged 22.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists while shooting 46.5% from the field over his last nine appearances. Miami has also played decently well on the road this year, and they have dominated teams with sub-.500 records, posting a 25-7 record and an average scoring margin of nearly 9 points.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are a mess. New York entered the break having won just one of their last eight games while being outscored by nearly 8 points a game. Defense was a huge issue for the Knicks before the break, as they were allowing their opponents to shoot almost 47% from the field. On a positive note, Julius Randle and Evan Fournier were playing well, but they have not gotten consistent production from anyone else lately. Plus, they have a few players dealing with injuries, as R.J. Barrett and Nerlens Noel are questionable, and Derrick Rose is doubtful. Meanwhile, Kemba Walker has agreed to stay away from the team for the rest of the year. New York is 3-8 in games that Barret has missed this year.

Awesemo likes the under here with a projected point total of 208. The Heat are a top-10 defensive team and have allowed their opponents to post an effective field goal percentage of 52.1%. Similarly, the Knicks have shown the ability to be solid on the defensive end and have a defensive effective field goal percentage of 52%. Plus, the Heat have done a fantastic job defensively against opposing frontcourt this year. OddsShopper gives the under a 54% chance of hitting and an expected ROI of 4%.

With Chris Paul (thumb) out, Booker has moved over to point guard for the Suns. He is coming off a superb 25-point, 12-assist and six-steal performance in the Suns’ 124-104 victory over the Thunder last night. Booker has been playing well lately, and he really takes the initiative in back-to-back games, where he has averaged 30 points a game and posting a true shooting percentage of 60.4%. He has played decently well against the Pelicans, who are giving up the second-most points to opposing point guards this year. Point guards are shooting 44.3% from the field and 36.2% from beyond the arc while making over three 3’s a game against the Pelicans. Booker is projected for 29.75 points.
