Toronto Raptors are playing Miami Heat in a rematch of the game on Saturday. Scottie Barnes is injured and Chris Boucher is also questionable to play. Miami will be without Caleb Martin and Nikola Jovic, who are suspended for their roles in the fight on the Saturday between Martin, Christian Koloko and Bouchers. The game went over by 4.5 points. The total is 217. 5.

Utah Jazz are 3-0 SU and ATS this season. They are playing Houston Rockets tonight. Houston is playing a back-to-back after blowing a big lead to Memphis. The Rockets are good in transition, but Utah's transition defense is terrible. The Jazz beat the Pelicans last night. Brandon Ingram played 11 minutes before being injured and Zion Williamson left the game with his own injury. I'm going to sell high on Utah tonight and bet against Houston.

Boston Celtics are playing Chicago Bulls. Chicago's terrible defense finally showed up in the loss to Cleveland on Saturday. The Bulls have put up just 105.8 points per 100 possessions in non-garbage time minutes this season. Boston has been using a dominant offense which leads the league in efficiency (125.3) to win games. The total has moved from 221.5 to 226.

Brooklyn Nets play at Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have struggled defensively this season. Memphis has allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions in non-garbage time minutes of their three games this year. Brooklyn has attempted 36.4% of its attempts from beyond the arc. The total for this game is 228.5.

Indiana Pacers are at Philadelphia 76ers (-11.5, 227). Philadelphia has started the season badly, losing two of three games. The team's defensive play has been subpar, and the team has struggled to put together an efficient offense. Joel Embiid has a plantar fasciitis, which could be the reason for his lack of conditioning.

Orlando Magic are playing New York Knicks at (-7.5, 219). The Knicks beat Detroit on the weekend. The Magic have a better homecourt advantage. The market has not budged off the opening side or total.

San Antonio Spurs are playing Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs have been a market darling early. Minnesota has a good defense. San Antonio has been hot shooting recently. The Timberwolves have a better defense than San Antonio.
