Best bets for Thursday, Jan. 22

The Golden State Warriors got off to a rough start to their future without Jimmy Butler when they were blown out by the Toronto Raptors 145-127 on Tuesday. Butler went down with a torn ACL in Monday night's 135-112 victory against the Miami Heat, so Steph Curry and Co. face a steep climb to have any chance at a deep playoff run. Golden State (25-20) is eighth in the Western Conference but faces a Dallas Mavericks team that is in 12th place in the West. Dallas is without Anthony Davis and is counting on rookie Cooper Flagg, who is averaging 18.8 points per game. 

Golden State is a 5.5-point favorite in the Warriors vs. Mavericks odds, and the Over/Under for total points scored is 233.5. With the Mavericks offense struggling (114.0 points per game) and the Warriors fairly solid on defense (114.2), the SportsLine model is leaning Under the total. It also has the Mavs winning in 42% of its simulations as a +173 money-line underdog, providing value at that price.   

Later Wednesday, the Lakers (26-16) and Clippers (19-24) square off in a battle of Los Angeles. The Clippers are 1-point favorites, and the SportsLine model gives a 'B' grade to Over 224.5, with the Over hitting 58.8% of the time. The model also loves the Under in Heat vs. Trail Blazers, giving an 'A' grade to Under 239.5, which hits 68.8% of the time with the total projected to go below 230 points. 

In the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres (27-17-5) visit the Montreal Canadiens (28-15-7) as the Atlantic Division rivals both come in one 6-3-1 runs in their past 10 games. The Canadiens are -136 money-line favorites and win in 56% of the model's simulations. The Sabres, who have won 15 of their past 19 games, are priced at +115 on the money line.
