Best Bets
Lauri Markkanen over 36.5 P+R+A vs. Mavericks (-120)
FanDuel, 4:33 PM CT
Alex Barutha: The Jazz are 9-point favorites in this game with the Mavericks down Luka Doncic and everyone traded for Kyrie Irving. Markkanen's stats are strongly correlated with outcome and location. His true shooting percentage is exactly 5% higher at home, and he sees increases of +5.1 PPG, +1.3 RPG and +0.9 APG in victories. His recent play has been encouraging as well. December 19 was the last time Markkanen scored fewer than 20 points, and since then, he's averaging 28.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

LA Clippers -7.5 at Brooklyn Nets
DraftKings Sportsbook, 11AM CT
Nick Whalen: This is more about targeting the Nets while they're shorthanded than anything else. Obviously, Kevin Durant is still injured, and Kyrie Irving is now completely out of the picture, while Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith are expected to debut later in the week. Brooklyn could put together a scrappy effort – much as they did Saturday against Washington – but I'll side with the Clippers to take care of business on the road. The Clips are 9-7 ATS as road favorites this season and 17-14 ATS on the road overall.

DeMar DeRozan Over 0.5 Threes (+120) vs. Spurs
DraftKings Sportsbook, 1:15 p.m. CT
Jason Shebilske: DeRozan isn't known as a prolific three-point shooter, but he's shot 61.5 percent from beyond the arc while attempting 3.3 three-pointers per game across his last four appearances. The Spurs will be without several key contributors during Monday's matchup, and I like the odds for DeRozan to make at least one three given his recent success from long range.
