The Wizards hit the road after losing all three games on their recent homestand against the Mavericks, Raptors, and Warriors. Washington has played much better on the road and much better against sub .500 teams. That situation comes about tonight at Charlotte, as the Bobcats return home following a 1-4 road trip. Charlotte goes back on the road on Wednesday to take on Minnesota, so this is a tough scheduling spot for the Bobcats. Washington has won four of its last five on the road, as I'll back the Wizards tonight.

The Nuggets are coming off consecutive wins over the Grizzlies and Lakers, as Denver looks to avenge a road loss at Boston from earlier this season. The Celtics have lost four straight games, and seven of their last eight contests, while the offense has struggled to score recently. Denver's defense has been atricious recently, allowing at least 100 points in eight of the last 10 games, while posting a 1-6 ATS record the last seven games as a home favorite. I'll back the Celtics here to cash at Denver.

The Kings are playing with double-revenge tonight against the Blazers, as Sacramento tries to end a two-game skid after losing as a home favorite to the 76ers and Bobcats. Portland was upset by Philadelphia on Saturday as 12-point home favorites, while going 1-4 ATS in the last five road contests. The Kings have fared well as a home underdog this season, posting a 6-3 ATS record in that role. I'll take the Kings tonight as a home 'dog to cash against the Blazers.

San Antonio has beaten Memphis twice already this season, while knocking off the Grizzlies in six straight matchups dating back to last season's Western Conference Finals. The Grizzlies return home from a terrific 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS road trip, but are 0-6 SU/ATS as a home underdog this season. The Spurs are 7-1 SU/ATS in their last eight road contests, as I'll back San Antonio here to knock off Memphis on the road.
