3:38pm: MIAMI HEAT VS. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
FSI rating: Clippers -15.28 FSI
PICK: LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS -4.5 (-110)
RISK: 2 UNITS
Game notes: The Clippers lost yesterday vs Memphis to fall to 5-3. Blake Griffin will need help from Danilo Gallinari and Patrick Beverly in order to avoid another loss.
The Heat (3-5) will look for a strong game from Hassan Whiteside, along with Goran Dragic.
The line here is relatively low based on LAC's back to back situation. I don't see it as a big deal and will gladly lay the 4.5.
6:08pm: WASHINGTON WIZARDS VS. TORONTO RAPTORS
FSI rating: TOR -10.18
PICK: TORONTO RAPTORS -5 (-110)
RISK: 1 UNIT
Game notes: The 5-3 Raptors are home following a six game road trip. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan lead the way.
The Wizards (4-4) have dropped their last two games. If John Wall plays, he likely won't be 100% after suffering a shoulder sprain in Friday's loss to CLE.
Always a tough spot for the home team in their first one back from a road trip, but I believe TOR's team defense will be good enough for them to win and cover.
Good luck, players!
