The NBA decided to change the All-Star game format this year with a four-team mini-tournament in which TNT’s Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal will have a draft and select three eight-man teams from the 24 All-Stars. The Rising Stars champion from Friday will be the fourth team.

Good afternoon, gamblers.The Charlotte Hornets were dealt a tough blow when star guard LaMelo Ball sprained his ankle earlier this week. As a result, Ball will miss at least one week of action, which includes tonight's game against the surging Los Angeles Clippers. The Hornets currently have just a 12-32 record even with Ball in the lineup during the bulk of those contests. Our Jason La Canfora points out that the Clippers are 8-2 ATS over their last 10 games, while also having a 10-3 ATS mark against Eastern Conference teams this season. The Hornets average the third-fewest points (107.0), while the Clippers allow the third-fewest points (107.1) this season. In their last four games, three of Los Angeles' wins have come by an average margin of 13 points, so it's certainly possible that the Clippers can dominate the struggling Hornets.

Still, it's never too early to start breaking down what could potentially happen in New Orleans between these two juggernaut franchises. With that in mind, CBS Sports NFL writer Tyler Sullivan unveiled his bold predictions for next Sunday's game in which the Chiefs will be attempting to secure the NFL's first three-peat. One of Sullivan's juicy predictions is that Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley will top the 100 rushing yards mark against the Chiefs. While Barkley has made a habit out of making defenses look foolish during Philadelphia's Super Bowl run, Sullivan explains why it could be a tougher task this time around when facing an elite defense like the Chiefs possess.Sullivan:"Well, even with Saquon Barkley going bananas this season and throughout these playoffs, if he were to top 100 yards rushing in the Super Bowl it would be particularly impressive against the Chiefs. Kansas City has gone 18 straight playoff games without allowing an individual 100-yard rusher. They Chiefs have also NEVER allowed a 100-yard rusher in the playoffs with Steve Spagnuolo as the defensive coordinator. Expanding it even further, the last time they allowed a 100-yard rusher overall came back in Week 1 against Lamar Jackson." 🔥 The Hot TicketClippers at Hornets, 7 p.m. | TV: NBA League PassThe Pick: Clippers -13 (-111)Key trend: The Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games.SportsLine expert Jason La Canfora is 9-3 in his last 12 ATS picks involving the Clippers.La Canfora:"Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Hornets star LaMelo Ball is injured again, and the Hornets are in a free fall. They can't defend and can't score enough without their point guard to keep pace against most teams. The Clippers are a legitimate defensive operation and they have had a ton of success against bad teams. In fact, the Clippers are 6-0 ATS when they are favored by 8.5 points or more on the season. The Clippers are also 10-3 ATS against Eastern Conference teams and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall."👀 Here's what else SportsLine is saying about the game: The Projection Model has "B" picks on the spread and total, while having a "C" pick on the moneyline. Get one week of picks from SportsLine completely free with the promo code NEWSLETTER*. Sign up here to get started! 💰 Also on tonight ...Suns at Warriors, 10 p.m. | TV: ESPNThe Projection: Warriors (+105) | Grade: A -- StrongSportsLine's Projection Model has a "A" grade on the moneyline, a "B" grade on the spread and a "C" on the tofor the contest.
