Top NBA Plays Thursday February 3rd|Coins
Chris Paul has retirement as a banker waiting for him the way he is handing out dimes lately. CP3 had 14 more assists in Tuesday's win over the Nets, the 5th time in the last six games he's had 13+ (50+fp floor in 6 of the last 7).
The Suns aim for their 12th straight win tonight as part of our 6-game slate. DeMar DeRozan heads to Toronto where Gary Trent, Jr. can break his franchise record for consecutive games of 30+ points, Golden State is in a possible blowout game with Sacramento playing on the back to back and the Lakers are also on 0 days rest vs. the Clippers.
It should be a good one:
Tonight's Key NBA Matchups
Timberwolves (-7) @ Pistons, O/U 228 7:00 ET
Minnesota has built up some nice momentum with a 20-point win over the Jazz and beating Denver by 15 in the last two games, so why does it feel like they drop this one to the Pistons? Eh, then again the T'Wolves have scored 120+ in three straight (all without D'Angelo Russell) and Detroit is likely without Cade Cunningham (hip).
Suns (-5) @ Hawks, O/U 223.5 7:30 ET
Phoenix shoots for their 12th win in a row tonight and are getting healthier with Deandre Ayton returning on Tuesday with a 20fp night following a 7-game absence. Trae Young did not play in Monday's 6-point loss in Toronto and remains questionable with a shoulder contusion.
Bulls @ Raptors (-3.5), O/U 224 7:30 ET
DeMar DeRozan returns to Toronto tonight and it may be a bittersweet visit as Gary Trent goes for a Raptors record sixth straight 30+ point game - currently tied with DeRozan. Now with the Bulls, DeRozan looks a lot like the player that spent 2009-18 in Toronto as he's posting the 2nd highest scoring average of his career (26.1 ppg).
A #WeTheNorth thread on Gary Trent Jr., one of the hottest players in the NBA at the moment.
Trent has hit 32 threes over his last 6 games, 7 more than the next closest player in the NBA & only 13 fewer than the New Orleans Pelicans have hit as a team over their last 6 games. http

Heat (-4.5) @ Spurs, O/U 219.5 8:30 ET
Bam Adebayo blew up for 32 points and 11 rebounds on Tuesday (55fp) even with Jimmy Butler and P.J. Tucker returning to the lineup. Adebayo is worth a look tonight with the Spurs missing two big men with Jakob Poeltl and Jock Landale both out with head injuries.
Kings @ Warriors (-13.5), O/U 223.5 10:00 ET
Steph Curry finally broke out with 67fp on Monday, but he may have a hard time repeating that as a -13.5 favorite tonight. The spread is so high because Sacramento is on the back to back following last night's 112-101 win over the Nets that snapped a 7-game losing streak.
Lakers @ Clippers (-3.5), O/U 218 10:00 ET
The battle for Crypto.com Arena goes down tonight with Anthony Davis actually expected to play on the back to back for the Lakers. Lebron James will likely miss his 5th straight games with a swollen knee.
