Lakers vs Suns
- Time: 4 p.m.
- TV: Arizona's Family 3TV, Spectrum Sports Network
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 7.12x
- Lakers moneyline
- Over 227.5
- Sandro Mamukelashvili Over 10.5 points
Walder pairs the Los Angeles Lakers moneyline, his top pick from his Lakers vs. Suns predictions, with the Over on the game total and wraps with an angle on Sandro Mamukelashvili.
Mamukelashvili has scored exactly 23 points off the bench for the Los Angeles in each of his last two appearances, playing at least 26 minutes both times. It's too enticing to pass up if all he needs is 11 points for an Over, especially since Mamukelashvili will get an extended run without (Austin) Reaves.
Spurs vs Jazz
- Time: 5 p.m.
- TV: DAZN-SA, KJZZ
- Analyst: Shawn Krest
Combo: 4.95x
- Spurs -15.5
- Under 226.5
- Spurs first half -9.5
Neither team pushes the pace, as Krest points out in his Spurs vs. Jazz predictions.
The Jazz are 14th in tempo and the Spurs 19th. Combined, they've gone Over just nine times in their 26 games this season and just eight times in the 22 combined games of their respective streaks. The regulation game between the two was Under by more than 10 points, and even their overtime game went Under.
San Antonio has the league's second-best first-half scoring average and the third-highest halftime scoring margin. Utah is 28th in both categories. The first clash between the teams in Utah this season went to overtime, and the Spurs don't want to let the hapless Jazz hang around again. Look for the Spurs to build a big lead early and roll.
Mavericks vs Celtics
- Time: 6 p.m.
- TV: MavsTV+, NBC Sports Boston
- Analyst: Ed Scimia
Combo: 7.3x
- Under 219.5
- Mavericks +14.5
- Kyrie Irving Over 19.5 points
In a low-scoring game, there's always some benefit to taking the underdog, as a blowout is far less likely. With Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg both available and healthy, 14.5 is a lot of points to give Dallas, even for the Celtics, so Ed Scimia's Mavericks vs. Celtics predictions back the visitors to cover.
Speaking of Irving, he's averaging 22.7 points per game this season, and has scored 21+ in three of his last four contests. He's a solid value-add for combos today to score 20+ points even given the lower-scoring environment.
Knicks vs Raptors
- Time: 6 p.m.
- TV: MSG, TSN
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 8.14x
- Knicks -4.5
- Knicks team total Over 110.5
- Mikal Bridges Over 8.5 points
Seven of the Raptors' 12 opponents have broken 110.5 points in a game, thus far, and five of those have come this month alone.
New York has failed to score at least that many in five of its last seven games. The confidence for an Over on this team total prop stems from Toronto's recent defensive woes and the Knicks' offensive talent, which makes it hard for them to stay cold and stagnant for long.
Now is the time to get back in on Mikal Bridges, as oddsmakers clearly feel his recent 18-point outburst against Indiana was a one-and-done. Walder dives deeper into the matchup in his Knicks vs. Raptors predictions.
Rockets vs Wizards
- Time: 7 p.m.
- TV: SCHN, MNMT
- Analyst: Zak Hanshew
Combo: 6.5x
- Rockets -7.5
- Alperen Sengun Over 19.5 points
- Alperen Sengun Over 9.5 rebounds
Hanshew is fading the home team in his Rockets vs. Wizards predictions, at least somewhat because Washington’s starting frontcourt of Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr hasn't been great defensively. The Wizards rank 26th in defensive rebound percentage (66.2%), and they’ve surrendered the fifth-most points in the paint at 51.4.
Sengun compiled a 43/12 line on Friday, and he's averaged 27.3 points and 12 boards over his last three, posting at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in two of them. The big man is enjoying the best season of his career, and he’s on a heater. I’ll pick him to rack up another 20/10 game in this favorable spot.
Thunder vs Kings
- Time: 9 p.m.
- TV: SCHN, MNMT
- Analyst: Tom Oldfield
Combo: 3.5x
- Thunder moneyline
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 points
- Isaiah Hartenstein Over 3.5 assists
Sacramento is still winless at home, so OKC on the moneyline is an easy first leg in Oldfield's Thunder vs. Kings predictions.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 34.3 ppg in November despite the scoring burden weighing heavily on his shoulders.
OKC is also asking Isaiah Hartenstein to dig deeper into his playmaking bag, and the big man has responded with four or more assists in seven straight games.
