Weather Delays Push Games to Monday Afternoon

Atlanta Hawks vs. Indiana Pacers

  • Time: 1:30 p.m. EST

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets

  • Time: 3:00 p.m. EST

With seven games scheduled, there's plenty of action to consider.

Betting Wisely After Recent Losses

Recent struggles by teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves have disrupted betting streaks. It's advisable to stick to single bets rather than risky parlays.

Standout Games to Watch

Houston Rockets vs. Memphis Grizzlies

  • Rockets are heavy favorites, especially with the Grizzlies missing key players like Ja Morant.
  • Houston has been strong at home, while Memphis has struggled against good teams this season.
  • The Rockets previously beat the Grizzlies by 15 points earlier this year, even with Morant playing.
  • With Memphis on a losing streak, it's unlikely they'll turn things around on the road.

Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves

  • Edwards has been on fire, scoring over 30 points in three of his last four games.
  • He's taking more shots and putting up big numbers.
  • Despite the Golden State Warriors' strong defense, they're missing key players.
  • Edwards has a good chance to score over 29.5 points, especially if he keeps taking 20-23 shots per game.

Responsible Betting Reminder

Always remember that betting can be risky and is not for everyone. Gamble responsibly and know when to stop.
