Locks
NBA – New York Knicks -3.5 @ Minnesota (-110): 6:00 pm CT on Bally Sports North
The New York Knicks are coming off one of their worst performances of the season and this spread reflects that. But let’s not forget they’re headed into Minneapolis tonight to face off with the worst team in the NBA.
Monday night was uncharacteristic for this Knicks team and this is a perfect bounce-back game for them to get their heads on straight and dominate a lackluster Minnesota Timberwolves team. The Wolves are already looking towards the lottery hoping they can keep their top-3 pick and their defense showed that lately. Their effort has not been great and let’s not forget that Tom Thibodeau is extra motivated to beat his former team.
The playoff-contending Knicks should roll comfortably in this one.

NBA – Suns -7 vs. Bulls (-110): 9:00 PM CT
I know the Phoenix Suns are on a back-to-back, but this team is still not getting the credit it deserves.
They now own the best ATS record in the NBA at 31-15 and are also excellent as a home favorite, coming in at 15-6 ATS. And you can put away your no-rest worries as the Suns are 8-2 ATS on a back-to-back. Against this Chicago Bulls team that’s still trying to figure out how to mix in Nikola Vucevic, give me the Suns to win and cover again.
Tiny Nick is 210-134 ATS (+67.2 Units) on his Locks since joining Zone Coverage.
Every day he will offer his Locks and Degenerate picks. Locks are the games he’s confident in. Degenerates are entertaining but riskier picks.
