Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! Another day, another dollar in the NBA and we have a decent-sized eight-game slate worth of NBA action throughout the entire day. We have some fun matchups tonight with some surprising storylines to monitor.
We have ourselves a handful of teams coming into tonight's slate on a back-to-back, as the Rockets, Hawks, Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, Pelicans, Bulls, and Jazz will all take the floor tonight after playing on Friday night.
In this article, I'll be providing my favorite picks against the spread, game totals, parlays, and teasers for the NBA slate that tips off at 7:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, January 13.

NBA Betting Picks: Totals
Golden State Warriors (-+11.5) @ Milwaukee Bucks (245 total)
I'll start in Milwaukee on this lovely Saturday as the Warriors come into town. The Warriors came away with a 140-131 victory in Chicago last night and will look to keep things rolling. The Bucks on the other hand come in after smashing Boston 135-102 at home on Thursday night.
The Bucks have a significant advantage offensively in this one, as they come in ranked second in offensive efficiency (118.8). They get a small boost in projected efficiency tonight (+1.8) against a Warriors defense that ranks 22nd in defensive efficiency (114.6). Golden State allowed 131 points last night to a struggling Bulls offense, and I think the Bucks can at least duplicate that performance here tonight.
The Pick: Bucks TT o128.5 (-110, FanDuel)

NBA Betting Picks: ML and Spreads
Los Angeles Lakers (-2.5) @ Utah Jazz (229 total)
I'll wrap things up out in Utah tonight as the Lakers come into town for a Western Conference showdown. The Lakers have won two of their last three, but Utah comes into this one on a bit of a streak, having won four straight.
With that said, the Lakers have the advantage here. They project to positive regression in both offensive efficiency (112, +1.9 regression) and defensive efficiency (109.29, -1.91 regression). The Jazz project to positive regression on the defensive side of the ball (111.99, -2.71 regression), but project to true regression offensively (109.3, -1.6 regression). I'll back the Lakers on the moneyline here, which we can get at a decent price (-135) on DraftKings.
The pick: Lakers Moneyline (-135, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Favorite ML Parlay: Lakers ML + Hawks ML (+135, FD)
Favorite Teaser: GS/MIL o239.5 + Thunder -6.5 (-110, FD)
