Kate Constable: Grizzlies 1H -2.5, full game -5 vs. Blazers

I love this spot for the Grizzlies and hate this spot for the Blazers. Memphis earned a home win against the Pacers on Sunday after returning from a five-game road trip, during which it went 0-5. The Grizzlies are a much better team at home and they should get Desmond Bane back tonight, which would give them a big boost offensively. Portland will be playing its first road game after a seven-game home stand. Backing Portland on the road is cause for concern because at home, the Blazers offense thrives, ranking third in home offensive efficiency; on the road, the shooting percentages go way down and the offensive efficiency drops to 20th. Memphis should be able to get back to its winning ways by taking advantage of its opponents struggles tonight. I like the Grizzlies to cover in both the first half and full game.

Dan Karpuc: Warriors -3.5 at Timberwolves

The Warriors are finally healthy once again and are riding a four-game road cover streak heading into this game. For once, I’m not going to try to break this down using any numbers just because this Golden State team hasn’t played much together lately. Instead, I’m going to simply state that Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole have a gigantic advantage over Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, D’Angelo Russell, Rudy Gobert and role players. I’m going to tease this up to the -6.5 range, which is where I think the line should be.

Lucy Burdge: Celtics -8.5 vs. Nets

The Celtics have been a little off their game lately and the Nets have been covering, but this seems like a great bounce-back spot for the Celtics tonight. They’re at home, while the Nets will still be without Kevin Durant. And the Celtics beat the Nets, 109-98, in Brooklyn earlier this month, so I think they can pick it back up tonight and cover this spread.
