San Jose opens a long road stretch Thursday night in Washington, and the matchup profile is clear: the Sharks want to play fast, trade chances, and let their young skill push pace. The Capitals want to control the middle, win the special teams margins, and turn this into a game where experience and structure show up late. The betting angle is whether San Jose’s offense travels well enough to justify the plus price, or whether Washington’s home ice and heavier style can squeeze the Sharks into a lower-percentage night. With the total at 6.5, the market is also expecting enough offense that one hot power play or one shaky goalie start can flip the whole script. These are the current

Bam Adebayo finally looked like himself again on Tuesday, and Miami needs that version if it’s going to handle Boston’s physicality for four quarters. The Heat’s offense has been streaky, but when Adebayo is aggressive as a scorer, it stabilizes everything around him. Boston comes in trying to stop a short slide after back-to-back low-scoring losses, and the margin is thin without Jayson Tatum.

Houston finally stopped the bleeding with a much-needed win, and the timing matters because this homestand now brings in the Thunder with OKC chasing a fifth straight victory. The Rockets’ offensive efficiency has been volatile, but when the ball security holds, their shot quality improves fast. Jabari Smith Jr. breaking through late in the fourth quarter was a big swing in Houston’s last game, especially after a rough start. That matters here because OKC’s defense is built to punish hesitation, and Houston needs confident, decisive spacing to keep possessions clean. For Oklahoma City, the story is consistency. After a few surprising slips earlier this month, the Thunder have looked more like themselves again, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to set the
