Coby White, Hornets, Over 12.5 points (-130)

"Coby White only averaged 19 minutes over 21 games after the Hornets acquired him from the Bulls. However, he still averaged 15.6 points," SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner said. "His role is to come off the bench, jacking up shots. Despite his limited playing time, he averaged 11.0 shot attempts, 5.2 of which came from behind the arc, and 4.1 free throws a game. In two meetings with the Heat as a member of the Hornets, White scored 13 and 24 points. I like his chances of scoring at least 13 points against them again." Back White's Over with the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here:

Suns (-3.5) vs. Trail Blazers (-105)

The Suns went 2-1 against the Trail Blazers this season, and with three more wins than Portland this year, they will host this win-and-advance contest. The Suns are 4-1 over the last three seasons at home against Portland, and Phoenix was a strong home team this season, going 25-16 overall and 23-18 against the spread. Meanwhile, Portland went 18-23 away and 19-22 ATS on the road. Devin Booker rested his ankle over the final two regular season games and enters off three straight 30-point scoring contests and finishing ninth in the NBA in scoring at 26.1 points per game. The model expects a big game from Booker, aiding the Suns to cover in 60% of simulations. Back the Suns to cover with the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:

Mets vs. Dodgers: Over 7.5 runs scored  (-110)

Both the Dodgers and Mets are sending two of their top pitchers to the mound, with Los Angeles starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Mets throwing Nolan McLean. Still, both also have some offensive firepower on the other side to deal with. The Dodgers have one of the most stacked MLB lineups in recent MLB history, including Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith. Even with Juan Soto (calf) out for the Mets, they still have capable hitters such as Francisco Lindor and Luis Robert Jr. The model projects the offenses to do enough to go over this low total, projecting the Over to hit in 70.7% of simulations. Back the Over with the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here:
