• Hornets (+10.5) vs. Nuggets
• Bulls (+1) vs. Warriors
• Lakers (-4) at 76ers

Hornets (+10.5) at Nuggets — 6:00 p.m. ET

Denver rallied from a 23-point deficit to stun Atlanta on Friday night, 134–133, to win its second straight game on its road trip. The Nuggets head to Charlotte tonight to face the Hornets, who are fresh off a blowout win over the Raptors on Friday.

The Hornets have bounced back from a seven-game skid to win three of their past five games, including each of their last two at home against Toronto and Chicago. In Friday’s win over the Raptors, Charlotte put together its best defensive performance of the season, allowing only 86 points.

Denver has won eight consecutive road games, but the Nuggets are 0–5 against the spread in their last five opportunities as a double-digit favorite. Let’s grab the points with the Hornets.

Bulls (+1) vs. Warriors — 7:00 p.m. ET

The Warriors head to Chicago on no rest after knocking off the Cavaliers last night, 99–94. Golden State has not won consecutive games since mid-November and is 3–6 in its last nine outings.

The Bulls have struggled badly since a surprising 6–1 start, going 3–12 over their last 15 games. Chicago now looks to snap a six-game skid after back-to-back home losses to Brooklyn and Indiana.

During this rough stretch, Chicago is 0–10 ATS as a favorite. However, the Bulls are a perfect 4–0 ATS as an underdog since November 8 and 8–2 ATS as a dog overall this season.

Lakers (-4) at 76ers — 7:30 p.m. ET

The Lakers welcome back Luka Doncic after he missed the last two games following the birth of his baby. Doncic leads the NBA in scoring at 35.3 points per game as L.A. looks to rebound from a blowout loss at Boston on Friday.

The 76ers enter Sunday on a three-game winning streak after a 15-point victory in Milwaukee. Philadelphia opened the season with an incredible 9-1-1 ATS run in its first 11 games, but has cooled off to 4–7 ATS in its last 11.

The Lakers have not lost consecutive games this season, including three double-digit wins in this exact spot. LeBron James is questionable tonight, but the return of Doncic should give L.A. the boost it needs to get back in the win column and cover on the road against the 76ers.
