A late-night Pacific Division showdown in Los Angeles anchors the Monday NBA card.<\/p>\n
The Warriors seek their seventh win in the last nine games, making the trip south to face the Clippers<\/a>, who are 6-1 in the past seven contests.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll break down three plays for the Monday action. Remember to monitor the odds throughout the day, as the sides and totals market is constantly changing.<\/p>\n Here are our NBA picks for Monday, January 5.<\/p>\n Odds Courtesy of DraftKings<\/i><\/p>\n These two squads are meeting for the first time since New York knocked Detroit out of the playoffs last May. The Pistons are back home following a 114-110 victory at Cleveland on Sunday, picking up their second cover in the last six games.<\/p>\n The Knicks look to end a three-game slide, which includes a pair of double-digit home losses to the Hawks and 76ers. New York has slipped to 2-8 against the spread in the last 10 games, but has won seven of their past eight times in the role of a road favorite.<\/p>\n In four opportunities against teams with no rest, the Knicks are 4-0, with three of those victories by at least 10 points. Let\u2019s back New York<\/a> to break its losing streak in the Motor City.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Current Best Offers<\/span><\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 2<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 3<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 4<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Toronto has captured each of the first three matchups with Atlanta this season, capped off by a 134-117 home victory on Saturday. The Raptors look to finish off a five-game homestand at 4-1 with another meeting against the Hawks.<\/p>\n Atlanta had covered four consecutive games before Saturday\u2019s setback at Toronto, while owning an 8-3 ATS mark in the past 11 opportunities as an underdog. On Saturday, the Hawks trailed the Raptors by one point heading into the fourth quarter, but Toronto outscored Atlanta, 27-11 to pull away.<\/p>\n The Raptors have won and covered in consecutive games as a favorite only once this season. Atlanta should be motivated here to avoid its fourth loss to Toronto, as the Hawks are worth a solid look as an underdog.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Current Best Offers<\/span><\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 2<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 3<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 4<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Celtics return home following a successful 4-1 road swing<\/a>, capped off by a 146-115 rout of the Clippers on Saturday. Boston welcomes in Chicago, who slipped to 17-18 with a 13-point home defeat to Charlotte two nights ago.<\/p>\n This has normally been a good situation to fade the double-digit favorite returning home from a long road trip. The Celtics have covered once in four tries when laying at least 10 points at TD Garden, including losing outright to the Jazz and Nets.<\/p>\n This is the first matchup between the Bulls and Celtics this season, as Chicago covered twice in four meetings last season. Chicago owns a terrific 10-2 ATS mark in the last 12 chances as an underdog, including an outright victory at Denver as 12.5-point dogs in November, their biggest dog spot of the season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Current Best Offers<\/span><\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n T&Cs apply, 18+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBest NBA Plays Today<\/h2>\n
