NBA Best Bets | Expert Picks for Tuesday, April 2
Lakers vs Raptors
Yeah, I know. It's tough to get behind the Raptors, losers of 13 in a row.
But the Lakers carry a high fatigue rating, are in a letdown spot, the Raptors could get key players back and have a strong history against the Lakers.
Maybe it's because of LeBron James. But the Raptors get up for the Lakers. They've beaten them seven of the last nine times in Toronto. The Lakers barely beat the Raptors in the first meeting. LA won, 132-131, at home on Jan. 9.
There's a good possibility the Raptors get back both RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for this game. They've been out for personal reasons.
This is the Lakers' fifth road game in eight days. They are 6-1 in their last seven games and conclude their road trip with a game tomorrow against the Wizards.

Warriors vs Mavericks
by Alex Smart
Dallas enters this game having won 7 straight while their hosts the Golden State Warriors have won 4 straight.
With home court advantage and revenge on board for a earlier loss this season to the Mavs, I'm recommending we back the experienced veteran laden Warriors.
GOLDEN STATE is 31-13 ATS in home games revenging a same season loss vs opponent over the last 3 seasons.
The Golden State Warriors have covered the Spread in 34 of their last 57 games (+9.80 Units / 16% ROI)
The Dallas Mavericks have only hit the Moneyline in 31 of their last 67 games (-34.40 Units / -24% ROI)
NBA Road underdogs vs. the money line (DALLAS) - after beating the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games, on Tuesday nights are 4-41 SU L/5 seasons for a go against 91% conversion rate for bettors.
Play on the Warriors to cover
