Recommendation: Handicap away win
The Bucks narrowly defeated the Mavericks by 2 points in the last game. They are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 7 wins and 4 losses. The team's performance this season has been quite satisfactory. After losing Lillard and Lopez, their competitiveness has dropped significantly. Their defense has been lower than the league average, and their secondary offensive points and rebounds are at the bottom of the league. Although the star Antetokounmpo still averages a terrifying output of 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, the support given by his teammates is obviously not stable enough, and Antetokounmpo's participation in tomorrow's game is doubtful.

The team's performance this season is not very good, and the winning rate has not reached 50%.

Although White, another starting backcourt player, scored 18 points, he was not very efficient in shooting 7 of 20. So far this season, his shooting percentage is only 34%. With serious loss in the paint and insufficient strength in the backcourt, the Green Army is in a very difficult situation this season..
In terms of handicap, the home team has a handicap of 6.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, both sides suffered back-to-back losses today.

Cavaliers just lost an alley-oop to Wiggins in overtime in the last game, and currently have 7 wins With a record of 4 losses, it ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. In this game, Mitchell's performance was good enough. The tying three-pointer at the end of overtime was called a miracle shot, but it still failed to bring victory to the team. In the third quarter of the game, he and Garland returned to the locker room one after another. Garland even retired early due to a left toe injury. Tomorrow's game will be without Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, Tyson and Strus.
The Heat have won three consecutive victories thanks to Wiggins' magical kill, and are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 7 wins and 4 losses. What is even more valuable is that the team's two core players Hiero and Adebayor did not play during this period. Powell, Harks, Jovic and Fontechio and others have performed well. So far this season, the Heat have averaged 30.5 assists, the second-highest number in the league, and scored a league-high 125.5 points per game.

Considering the current situation of the two teams, many of the Cavaliers' main players are absent and almost have to give up a starting lineup. Their strength must be greatly reduced.

Wizards VS Rockets
The gap is obvious Rockets beat Wizards at home
American Professional Basketball League Wizards VS Rockets (-17.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Wizards have been in bad shape recently. After a nine-game losing streak, they are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a record of 1 win and 10 losses. The performance of the season has not improved at all. While the offense is unfavorable, the defense is even more ineffective. They concede 129.2 points per game, the most in the league, and make 18 turnovers, the most in the league. The two backcourts McCollum and Middleton are in ups and downs. Although the former scored 42 points in the last game, he also scored in single digits many times. The latter has not scored in double figures in the past four games. Coulibaly will miss tomorrow's game.
The Rockets defeated the Bucks in the last game and are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. The team's performance this season is not bad. The average points scored and lost per game are ranked in the top ten in the league. The rebounds and second offensive points are the highest in the league.

The Pelicans have recently suffered two consecutive losses and continue to be at the bottom of the Western Conference. They lost to the Suns 98-121 in their last game. With Zion and Poole continuing to be absent in this game, Murphy did not break out, and the team played more difficultly. There are not many outstanding scoring points in the current lineup.

National Basketball League Warriors VS Spurs (-6.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Warriors have been in a sluggish state recently, losing 5 of the last 7 games. They lost 102-126 to the Thunder in the last game. Curry returned after missing 3 games, but his performance was not ideal. He only scored 11 points on 4 of 13 shots, and Butler only scored 12 points. The shortcomings of most of the players in the current lineup are too obvious and are relatively easy to be targeted by opponents. If the Warriors want to get out of the predicament, Curry must regroup.
The Spurs have recently gotten back on track and won three consecutive games. In the last game, they defeated the Bulls 121-117. Wenbanyama had an outstanding performance in this game. He scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. He also hit a three-pointer at the last moment to help the team establish the lead. When he was in good condition, no one could limit him due to his height. In this game, Fox contributed 21 points and 5 assists, and Castle scored 19 points and 11 assists. This is also the second consecutive game in which Castle has reached double figures in assists..
The betting index for this game has the Spurs handicap of 6.5 points. Judging from the current lineup, the Spurs still have the upper hand.

Booker easily scored 19 points, Dillon scored 18 points and 5 rebounds, and O'Neal scored 14 points. The Suns currently only have three or four stable offensive points, and the ball-handling offense mainly relies on Booker. Although the team's overall condition has been good recently, the team's strength is still relatively limited.
The Mavericks lost to the Bucks 114-116 in the last game. The team overall played pretty well in this game, especially Flagg. He scored 26 points and 9 rebounds on 9 of 15 shots. It was a pity that he fell down and failed to catch the ball in a slightly controversial situation in the last attack. Brandon Williams scored 19 points, Christie scored 13 points and blocked 3 shots, and Washington scored 16 points. It is indeed more difficult for the team without two main players, but it will take some time to cultivate the top pick.
The lottery index for this game has the Suns handicap by 1.5 points. The two teams should be about the same in terms of lineup. Maybe the Suns have won a wave of consecutive victories recently, which makes the handicap more optimistic. However, in fact, the Mavericks have also improved recently, especially Flagg is playing better and better. This time the Mavericks are expected to beat the Suns at home, so it is recommended to lose the handicap.

Judging from the current performance, the Thunder have the advantage, but the duel between the two ball-carrying cores is still full of uncertainty.

Although the backcourt duo of LaVine and DeRozan have good scoring data, their performance is not stable, especially their performance at critical moments is always difficult to trust. Sabonis' performance has also declined this season, but Westbrook still maintains full fighting spirit and vitality.
The lottery index for this game has the Hawks handicap of 2.5 points. Judging from the recent state, the Kings' performance is difficult to trust. Although the Hawks' state has also had ups and downs, their morale has been good recently. Porzingis has performed stably inside and has top defensive players on the outside.
