76ers vs. Pacers
- Time: 7 p.m.
- TV: ESPN
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Combo: 6.81x
- 76ers moneyline
- Under 237.5
- Joel Embiid Over 3.5 assists
A healthier roster, the incentive to avoid consecutive losses, and a deeper pool of talent make the 76ers moneyline the foundation of Chris Walder’s 76ers vs. Pacers predictions. He pairs it with the Under 237.5, since Indiana and Philadelphia have stayed Under in five of their last six meetings.
The third leg is Joel Embiid Over 3.5 assists. Embiid has cleared that number in two of his three appearances, finishing with at least six assists in those games, and his potential assists average of 10.3 per game ties him for the team lead with LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey.
Heat vs. Hawks
- Time: 7 p.m.
- TV: WANF, Peachtree TV
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 7.25x
- Hawks moneyline
- CJ McCollum Over 2.5 threes
- Davion Mitchell Over 1.5 threes
Quinn Allen expects Atlanta’s offense to take advantage of a winless Miami defense in his Heat vs. Hawks predictions. The Hawks average 121 points per game with a +9.0 net rating, compared with Miami’s -12.4, which anchors the moneyline leg.
The other two legs target the perimeter. CJ McCollum is shooting 44% from three and averaging 2.8 makes on 6.3 attempts, while Davion Mitchell is hitting 45% and averaging 2.3 makes on 5.0 attempts. Miami allows opponents to shoot 39% from deep, and McCollum and Mitchell have cleared these totals in two of four and three of four games, respectively.
Magic vs. Raptors
- Time: 7:30 p.m.
- TV: TSN
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Combo: 5.17x
- Raptors moneyline
- Scottie Barnes Over 7.5 rebounds
- Desmond Bane Over 19.5 points
Dustin Saracini calls the absences of Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs “simply too significant to ignore” in his Magic vs. Raptors predictions, which is why the Raptors moneyline leads this combo. Toronto also leads the NBA in offensive rebounding, and Orlando ranks 17th in rebounding.
That sets up Scottie Barnes Over 7.5 rebounds as a bounce-back spot after he went 0-for-12 from the field with three rebounds in his last game. The final leg is Desmond Bane Over 19.5 points. Bane scored 22 against the Knicks, hitting 4 of 9 from three, and with his usage rising he could play over 30 minutes.
Knicks vs. Bulls
- Time: 8 p.m.
- TV: MSG, DAZN
- Analyst: Shawn Krest
Combo: 4.75x
- Knicks -6.5
- Under 231.5
- First half Under 120.5
Shawn Krest sees a pace mismatch in his Knicks vs. Bulls predictions. The Knicks rank 27th in pace and have gone Under in all four games this season, while the Bulls play at the league’s fastest pace, so something has to give. That points to both Unders in this combo.
Chicago is also shooting just 23.8% from three, the worst mark in the NBA, and Krest notes it allows the most points in the league, which supports the Knicks at -6.5. The first-half Under 120.5 looks safe on paper too, with the Knicks averaging 52.5 first-half points and the Bulls 55.3.
Spurs vs. Jazz
- Time: 9 p.m.
- TV: Jazz+, DAZN US
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 5.82x
- Spurs -12.5
- Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 rebounds
- Under 234.5
Quinn Allen’s Spurs vs. Jazz predictions center on a low-scoring Spurs win and Victor Wembanyama dominating the glass. Wembanyama is averaging 11 rebounds per game and has cleared this total in two of four appearances, and he should thrive against a Jazz team missing Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic.
Utah will likely be without Lauri Markkanen as well, as he nurses a wrist injury. San Antonio is allowing just 109.8 points per game, and the Jazz could struggle against the Spurs’ length and rim protection. With San Antonio on a back-to-back, Under 234.5 is an appealing look.
Thunder vs. Mavericks
- Time: 9:30 p.m.
- TV: ESPN
- Analyst: Ed Scimia
Combo: 6.09x
- Thunder -5.5
- Under 228.5
- Jared McCain 3+ threes
Oklahoma City has been dominant defensively, holding opponents to 100.8 points per game in a 4-0 start, and Ed Scimia likes the Under 228.5 in his Thunder vs. Mavericks predictions. The Thunder play at a relatively slow pace and have hit the Under in three of their first four games, and Dallas is struggling to score efficiently.
Scimia rounds out the combo with Jared McCain to make at least three threes. McCain is taking 5.8 three-point attempts per game and connecting at a 47.8% clip.
Lakers vs. Clippers
- Time: 10:30 p.m.
- TV: ClipperVision, Spectrum Sports Network
- Analyst: Tom Oldfield
Combo: 3.75x
- Lakers moneyline
- Austin Reaves Over 22.5 points
- Luka Doncic Over 7.5 assists
The Lakers are 7-3 straight up in the past 10 meetings with the Clippers, and Tom Oldfield is counting on their backcourt in his Lakers vs. Clippers predictions. Austin Reaves is thriving as the clear No. 2 option, scoring 26.5 points per game on 63% shooting, and he went 10-for-13 against the Clippers last week. With Luka Doncic drawing a crowd, Reaves is also making 57% of his threes.
Oldfield rounds out the combo with Doncic Over 7.5 assists. Doncic has dished 19 assists across his last two games, and the Clippers may have to lean on double teams if Derrick Jones Jr. gets into foul trouble. The Lakers have also scored 125+ points in every game this season.
