Chicago vs Minnesota – Minnesota -14,5 Spread @1.68
This matchup features one of the league’s most dominant home teams. Minnesota stands at 20–4 overall with a perfect 12–0 home record and has covered in 6 of their last 10 games ATS. Chicago, meanwhile, has struggled heavily on the road (3–9) and has just 7 wins in 22 games played. While they’ve covered spreads decently (8–2 ATS in last 10), the step up in competition here is significant. Minnesota consistently outperforms offensively at home, and Chicago’s defense ranks bottom third in both rebounds and opponent FG%, which could prove costly. Backing Minnesota on the -14.5 spread is a high-margin play supported by performance splits and momentum.

Atlanta vs Las Vegas – Atlanta +1.5 Spread @1.74
This is a tight contest between teams with comparable overall records, but underlying trends point to value on the Atlanta side. The Dream are 13–9 and have covered in 6 of their last 11 road games, while Las Vegas holds an even 11–11 mark with just 3 covers in their last 10 outings. Despite home-court advantage, Vegas has been underwhelming ATS (8–14 overall, 3–7 at home), hinting at inflated lines. Atlanta is also playing better in recent form with a 6–4 record in their last 10, and their size advantage in the frontcourt could exploit Vegas’s rebounding issues. Backing Atlanta with the points (+1.5) captures both team momentum and value against a team that struggles to cover short spreads.

Dallas vs Seattle – Seattle -8.5 Spread @1.90
Seattle has found solid rhythm at home (8–4) and comes in with a respectable 14–9 record. Dallas, meanwhile, sits at just 6–17 and has lost 10 of 12 games played away from home. Although Dallas has covered decently on the road (5–7 ATS), their offense has averaged fewer than 75 points across their last 5 away contests, and defensive lapses continue to mount. Seattle has covered in 4 of its last 6 games and matches up well against Dallas’s undersized frontcourt and turnover-prone guards. With momentum and home-court advantage, the -8.5 spread offers value given the scoring and efficiency gap between these two teams.
