It's been a busy last couple days in the NBA which continues tonight with a 10-game slate. We've got a short slate with just two games tomorrow night so get in while you can here.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Bucks (-4) @ Cavs, O/U 218.5 7:00 ET

Milwaukee is definitely without Wes Matthews (knee) and Grayson Allen (suspension) tonight and Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable after missing Saturday's win over Sacramento. That's the last time the Bucks played, so they are well-rested if not a bit short.

Hornets (-1.5) @ Pacers, O/U 227.5 7:00 ET

Indiana continues to be very shorthanded but the Hornets are on the back to back and starting to reshow their old bad (which is good) defense giving up 119 ppg the last two.

Kings @ Hawks (-9.5) O/U 232.5 7:30 ET

Highest betting total of the night and with good reason considering the Kings have allowed 133,133, and 128 points their last three games. That includes a 128-75 loss in Boston last night so the Hawks should be able to run away with one especially having had the last two nights off.

Nuggets (-2) @ Nets, O/U 220.5 8:00 ET

James Harden played in his first Kyrie and KD - less game in a bit last night and finished with 33/12/11 (73fp) in a 106-96 loss. Is anybody going back to the Harden well ($11.5k) after 38 minutes last night?

Raptors @ Bulls (-4) O/U 219 8:00 ET

Zach LaVine returned for the Bulls on Monday after missing the previous five games and abruptly went for 48fp in a one-point win over the Thunder. That was also with DeMar DeRozan sitting on a back to back though and now Chicago plays a Toronto squad that is on 0 days rest themselves beating Charlotte 125-113 last night. Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes missed the Hornets game, and have traveled to Chicago although their status is in question.

Grizzlies (-4.5) @ Spurs O/U 228.5 8:30 ET

There are some points expected in this game with the second highest betting total of the night although San Antonio is on the back to back (134-104 in Houston last night) while the Grizzlies haven't played since Sunday's 104-91 loss at Dallas. Memphis would be a bigger favorite if not for their injury report.

Suns (1.5) @ Jazz O/U 223.5 10:00 ET

The second leg of a home and home that Phoenix won 115-109 at the Footprint Center on Monday behind 33 real points from Devin Booker and a 16/13 performance off the bench from Bismack Biyombo (37fp). The Jazz continue to be without Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and Rudy Gobert (calf) but also have Bojan Bogdanovic (knee), Royce O'Neale (knee), and Joe Ingles (ankle) on tonight's injury report.

Mavericks (-4) @ Trail Blazers O/U 217 10:00 ET

Two teams playing on back to backs meet up tonight, each suffering losses last night but in a little different manner. Dallas lost 130-92 in Golden State last night while the Trail Blazers suffered a tough 109-107 home loss to the Timberwolves.
