CLEVELAND @ MEMPHIS | 1/17 | 8:00 PM EST
The Grizzlies have won six in a row, four of those by double digits, and now get to host the scuffling Cavaliers. During their streak, the Grizzlies have averaged 126.2 points. And they'd like to avenge a 7-point loss at Cleveland on Dec. 20. Back Memphis to cover its sixth straight home game.

TAMPA BAY @ WINNIPEG | 1/17 | 8:00 PM EST

The Lightning may be playing some of their best hockey right now, having won 11 of their last 13. Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has won nine straight starts and is 23-9-2 with a .961 save percentage, a big reason for the team's success. Meanwhile the Jets just ended a six-game home losing streak and have dropped five straight at home as an underdog. Lightning money line (-139) is the play.

PITTSBURGH -1.5
PITTSBURGH @ DETROIT | 1/17 | 7:30 PM EST
1:15 PM
The Penguins have welcomed back Sidney Crosby who hasn't skipped a beat, scoring a goal in two straight games. He should have a great night against the Wings. Pittsburgh was beat up in Boston last night, so look for the Penguins to take that out on Detroit. The Wings are horrible and are without No. 1 goalie Jonathan Bernier. Fellow goalie Jimmy Howard is just 2-16-1 with an .876 save percentage. Detroit has allowed 13 goals in back-to-back losses. The Penguins should have a big night. Pittsburgh puck line (+119) is the play.

MIAMI @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 1/17 | 8:00 PM EST
1:10 PM
The Heat have been money makers when it comes to Overs this year, posting a 24-15 record. The Under cashed in the last game vs the Spurs, but has cashed in back-to-back Heat games just three times in the last three months, so we are looking for points here from both teams. The Heat are averaging 111 points per game, while the Thunder average 109 per game. The Over has cashed in seven of the last eight road games for the Heat and seven of the last eight games the Thunder are the favorite.
37-29-1 IN LAST 67 NBA PICKS | +472

8 Unit Play. Take #537 Over 216 Miami at Oklahoma City (8:05p.m., Friday January 16)
Tonight at Chesapeake Energy Arena the OKC Thunder welcome the Miami Heat and tonight I see tons of points being scored. Since December 27 we have cashed 4-Straight 'Over' tickets with the Miami Heat and tonight the Heat come to OKC trending 'Over' games. The Heat's last 5 games 4 of them have gone 'Over' the total and their last 10 games 7 of them have cashed. The OKC Thunder offense is also clicking on all cylinders cashing 3-Straight 'Over' games and their defense is averaging 119.6ppg in those 3 games. The Miami Heat defense can also give up tons of points in a blink of an eye and their defense is allowing 110.8ppg and look for the backcourt of OKC to put up big numbers. The Miami Heat offense is well balance and every night they can have 6-7 guys with double-digits points and we all know Jimmy Butler will get his points but if the Heat spread it around tonight again this game flies 'Over'. The Miami Heat are 7-1 O/U lat 8 road games and the Heat are also 10-2 O/U following a SU win. OKC is 7-1 O/U as a home favorite and again tonight this total flies 'Over' and again the Heat will provide us another NBA 'W'
