Expert NBA moneyline picks: Nov. 10

Bucks vs. Knicks: Knicks Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns' shooting ability creates a difficult matchup for the Milwaukee Bucks, forcing Myles Turner out of his preferred drop coverage and limiting his ability to protect the rim as a shot blocker.

With Turner pulled away from the basket, the Bucks' inexperienced wing defenders will have less help as they try to contain Jalen Brunson on the open floor.

The 86% price is steep, but I still see a slight edge on the New York Knicks at that probability.

Celtics vs. 76ers: 76ers 76ers

I'll gladly back the Philadelphia 76ers at 49%, as I make them a 53% favorite in this matchup.

I'm surprised to see the Boston Celtics priced as a favorite, especially when they're on the front end of a back-to-back and adding Mike Conley to the starting lineup.

With the potential for reduced minutes among Boston's starters and some lineup friction issues, I'll happily take the 76ers as underdogs at this price.

Heat vs. Jazz: Heat Heat

The injury report is the key to trading this matchup, as Lauri Markkanen is questionable and Keyonte George is doubtful. Both absences would significantly impact the handicap.

At 74% probability, the Miami Heat only offer an edge if at least one of Markkanen or George is sidelined. With George already listed as doubtful, there's a strong possibility that condition is met.

If both players are ruled out, the edge grows considerably, making Miami at 74% a number worth having in your pocket.

Clippers vs. Suns: Clippers Clippers

I price the Los Angeles Clippers closer to a 43% underdog, making the 38% market price an attractive buy.

This projection assumes Brandon Ingram remains out, but he's progressing toward a return. If he suits up, that would only strengthen my projected win probability and increase our edge at this price.

The Phoenix Suns are also playing the second night of a back-to-back, and I like the defensive matchup for Derrick Jones Jr. and Kris Dunn against Devin Booker and Jalen Green. That backcourt defensive advantage has me siding with the Clippers at 38%.

Magic vs. Kings: Kings Kings

Even with Desmond Bane projected to return to the Orlando Magic lineup, I still see an edge on the Sacramento Kings at 32%.

Another key factor in this matchup is Keegan Murray's return to Sacramento's lineup.

With Paolo Banchero sidelined, Orlando's offense runs primarily through Franz Wagner, making Murray's presence particularly valuable.

He's an ideal defensive matchup for Wagner and a significant addition for the Kings in this spot.

Thunder vs. Trail Blazers: Trail Blazers Trail Blazers

Chet Holmgren's absence is particularly significant, as it forces the Oklahoma City Thunder to rely on Isaiah Hartenstein as their primary center.

Hartenstein's lack of a perimeter shot allows defenders to sag off him, clog the paint, and provide extra rim protection. That becomes an even bigger problem against Donovan Clingan, who can exploit the matchup by camping out near the basket and altering shots at the rim.

I strongly believe the Portland Trail Blazers should be trading closer to 51% than the current 45% market price against Oklahoma City.

Trail Blazers Trail Blazers

There are plenty of underdogs to choose from, so let's combine three for a solid payout without stretching to four or five legs.

If you're wondering why the Kings didn't make the cut, I do like their matchup and the price, but they're still the Kings at the end of the day.
