Nuggets vs. Pelicans
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: GCSEN, Pelicans.com
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 8.20x
- Nuggets -12.5
- Nuggets Over 123.5 points
- Cameron Johnson Over 12.5 points
Chris Walder is backing Denver to exploit a New Orleans defense that has allowed 139.4 points per 100 possessions over its last four games, 15.1 more than any other team.
The Nuggets have averaged 121.1 points per 100 possessions over their last four outings and enter with a rest advantage after last playing Wednesday. Denver covered -12.5 in New Orleans on Oct. 28, winning 104-91, and scored 141 against the Pelicans in an overtime win on Oct. 24, including 126 in regulation.
Cameron Johnson has averaged 13.3 points across six starts since returning, shooting 49.2% from the field and 41.1% from three. He's scored at least 18 points in two of his last three appearances, making Over 12.5 an appealing final leg.

Mavericks vs. Cavaliers
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV: KFAA-TV, MavsTV
- Analyst: Phil Naessens
Combo: 5.83x
- Mavericks moneyline
- Kyrie Irving Over 19.5 points
- Cooper Flagg Over 24.5 points
The Mavericks have extra rest following Thursday's blowout loss to Minnesota, while Cleveland is facing a difficult turnaround after Friday's game in Miami and travel disruptions forced an overnight stay.
The Cavaliers rank 21st in defensive rating, allowing 116.0 points per 100 possessions, and give up 68.3 points per game to opposing guards. That creates opportunities for Kyrie Irving to attack the perimeter and Cooper Flagg to find scoring chances against a tired defense.
Dallas has gone 5-1 ATS over its last six games, and its 7-5 record deserves respect given the strength of its schedule.

Pistons vs. Heat
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA TV
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 7.78x
- Pistons -4.5
- Over 228.5 points
- Duncan Robinson Over 15.5 points
Walder is backing the rested Pistons against a Miami team playing the second night of a back-to-back after heavy minutes from Davion Mitchell and Bam Adebayo on Friday.
Detroit allows just 106.9 points per 100 possessions, fourth-best in the league, and already beat Miami by 17 in South Beach this season while holding the Heat to 38% shooting. The Pistons have scored 133 points in each of their last two wins and have gone Over the total in three straight games and four of their last five.
Miami has allowed 120.5 points per 100 possessions at home, one of the league's worst marks. Duncan Robinson has scored at least 17 points in two of three road games against his former team and has cleared 15.5 points in four of six road appearances this season.

Bulls vs. Timberwolves
- Time: 8 p.m. ET

- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 6.00x
- Over 235.5 points
- Ayo Dosunmu Over 19.5 points
- Josh Giddey Over 9.5 assists
Quinn Allen expects plenty of offense, with Chicago ranking 30th in defensive rating and allowing 127.7 points per game while Minnesota ranks third in scoring at 119.3 points per game. Both teams rank among the top six in pace, and each has shown recent scoring upside: Chicago put up 125 against Atlanta and 119 against San Antonio, while Minnesota scored 133 against Dallas without Anthony Edwards.
Dosunmu has averaged 21.1 points per game without Edwards, gone Over his points line in three of his last four games, and now faces his former team. Giddey dished out 14 assists against Atlanta and has cleared 9.5 assists in two of his last three outings, averaging 12 assists during that span.
