Checking out Monday's 11 game NBA card, there's a couple of match ups where I particularly like the underdog.
OKC +2.5 at ATL
The Thunder are hot, winning 5 in a row heading into tonight. They're 0-3 in the second half of back-to-back sets on the road, which is probably why they aren't favored here. Atlanta's F Paul Millsap will be a game time decision (hip) but I'm anticipating he plays. As hot as OKC is, ATL is extremely cold. Losers of 6 straight and 9 of ten. The FSI rating has Thunder -2.90.
MEM +5.5 at NO
Somehow, the Grizzlies are managing to hold things together throughout many injuries. The Pelicans have dropped their last 2 and 4 of 5. F Anthony Davis is doing his best to carry the load at 31.8 ppg and 11.2 rpg, but he simply doesn't have enough help. 2nd of a back-to-back for NO. FSI says MEM -0.26.
I recommend taking OKC on the ML, but take the points with MEM as I see this one going down to the wire.
