Best bets for Sunday, Feb. 22

The Warriors fell to Boston in their first game back from the All-Star Break and are hoping to avoid a three-game skid when they next take the court Sunday afternoon. The issue? They face a Nuggets team that is third in the Western Conference at 36-21 while Golden State is eighth at 29-27. The Nuggets haven't quite clicked since Nikola Jokic returned from injury, but you'd sure rather have a three-time MVP in the lineup than not. This is the third of four meetings between these Western Conference foes, with each team winning at home so far this season. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, likes the Warriors to cover at +6.5 as that occurs in more than 60% of simulations.

The Lakers have to be feeling good about themselves right now as they've won two in a row and six of their last 10, but the Celtics are feeling even better as one of the league's hottest teams. Boston has also won two in a row, but the Celtics are winners of eight of 10 and are second in the Eastern Conference, trailing only Detroit. L.A. is in the middle of a loaded Western Conference grouping that includes Denver, Houston and Minnesota. The Celtics took the first matchup between these two teams 126-105 back in early December, though that game was in Boston. The model expects a high-scoring affair, with Over 228.5 hitting in more than 64% of simulations.
