Play: Charlotte +4 -105
Time: 2 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The NBA didn't do Toronto any favors with the scheduling, sending them out for today's game less than 24 hours after losing at home to the Lakers on Sunday. The Raptors will take on a Bobcats team that took the Heat to overtime in Miami on Saturday. Toronto looked bad on defense and was just 9-of-30 shooting from behind the arc yesterday. The Raptors have lost six straight at Charlotte and the Bobcats have won both meetings this season.
Play: Atlanta +6 -110
Time: 5:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Miami is 2-3 on its six-game road trip and needed overtime to dispatch Charlotte on Saturday night. This will be its fourth game in six days. The Heat should have Dwyane Wade back for this one but he's been a non-factor in his last two games (eight points in each). The Hawks have had three rest days after their game in London and had three rest days before that. They are excellent at home and have a good bench, as evidenced by 17 points apiece from reserves Shelvin Mack and Mike Scott in their last game. On Dec. 23 visiting Atlanta took Miami to overtime before losing 121-119.
Record: 7-2-1
