Trade to 25.5. Maxey is averaging 26.7 ppg, and he’s scored 25+ in 10 of 13 games, including six of seven at home, where he’s averaging 27.3. Since last season, Maxey has averaged 28.4 ppg with Joel Embiid sidelined. He scored 29 and 38 in the two games Embiid missed this season.

Play to 15.5. Philadelphia’s defensive attention will be on leading scorer Pascal Siakam, freeing up additional looks for the big man. Over the last three games, Zubac ranks second in ppg (16) behind Siakam (25.3), and he’s scored 15+ twice in that span.

Play up to 62%.

Ighodaro is someone Phoenix rarely, if ever, seeks out on offense. He's more often than not the fifth option scoring-wise whenever he's on the hardwood, serving as more of a utility big tasked with doing other things beyond putting the ball through the hoop. 

The 24-year-old forward has broken 6.5 points once in his last five appearances, and now has a 7-foot-1 giant in Kessler standing across from him to deal with.

Play up to 59%.

Only 10 players across the Association are currently bringing down 10 or more boards per contest, with Kessler sitting sixth amongst the pack of big men at 10.8. 

Barring unforeseen foul trouble, there's no reason to believe Kessler can't go Over a prop of 10.5 boards for the fourth time in five games and the seventh time in nine games versus a Suns side that's inept at giving him much problems in that department.

I'll take the Celtics at 82%, as I price Boston closer to an 88% favorite. This roster is built to contain a player like Cooper Flagg, with multiple switchable wing defenders to make his life difficult and Mitchell Robinson and Neemias Queta providing additional rim protection.

I price the Bucks closer to a 31% underdog, making Atlanta at 75% a clear negative-EV play. Milwaukee is now 1-12 and becoming increasingly difficult to back, but I'll stick with the numbers and take them at 26%. Backing Atlanta at that price is the type of negative-EV trade that can do serious damage to your transparency report over the long run.

The table above displays our sports betting computer’s picks based on the last 100 NBA games played. It gives basketball bettors a data-backed look into which games and NBA odds could hold some hidden value.

It can be tricky to nail down the “perfect” bet, but our expert predictions will teach you how to bet on basketball matchups with confidence.

How to Use the NBA Computer Picks Table

Following the computer picks blindly is not a surefire way to make gains when betting on NBA action. If anything, it's merely a guide to place bettors in the best position possible to achieve success, whether you're betting the moneyline, spread, or OVER/UNDER.

We use statistical analysis and machine-learning projections to make our selections, but don't forget to do your own research to find the best value!

Moneyline

Betting the moneyline in the NBA means you're picking the winner of the game, no strings attached. If the team you bet on emerges victorious, then so do you.

TeamMoneyline
Los Angeles Lakers-120
Golden State Warriors+150

In this example, the Los Angeles Lakers are the favorites to win the game as their moneyline odds have a minus sign (-) in front of the number. The favorites will have the minus sign present, and the underdogs will have a plus sign (+).

Betting $100 on the Lakers would pay you $180, your original $100 bet, plus $80 in winnings. If you bet $100 on the Warriors, since oddsmakers believe they're less likely to win this game, the payout would be $250, with a profit of $150.

Spread

Betting the spread in the NBA provides more wiggle room to bettors for games that may appear one-sided on paper. Rather than simply picking the winner like you would with the moneyline, you can instead pick the point differential to give underdogs more of a fighting chance with your wagers.

TeamSpread
Los Angeles Lakers-4.5 (-110)
Golden State Warriors+4.5 (-110)

In this example, the Lakers are favored to not only win the game against the Warriors, but to do so by at least 4.5 points. As a gentle reminder, the minus sign (-) determines the favorite for the game in question.

Should the Lakers win by five points, that would mean Los Angeles "covered the spread," resulting in a win for those who bet in their favor. However, if the Lakers won by four points, that would mean the Warriors "covered the spread" instead.

The -110 betting line enclosed in parentheses is fairly common for spread bets. That is the number bettors would follow to determine potential gains and losses, just like the moneyline. Odds are usually equal on both sides of the line, but can range from -105 to -120 (or more) in either direction.

Totals

An Over/Under bet in the NBA has nothing to do with which team wins the game. Instead, all that matters is the total combined score for that game and whether it exceeds a preset number established by oddsmakers.

TeamTotal
Los Angeles LakersO 240.5 (-110)
Golden State WarriorsU 240.5 (-110)

In this example, oddsmakers have set the total score for the Lakers and Warriors at 240.5 points.

As a bettor, you can select the Over if you believe the two teams will combine to score more than 240.5 points, 241 or more, or bet the Under if they'll score fewer than 240.5 points, 240 or fewer.

If the set number was a whole number like 240 points, for example, and the two teams combined to score exactly that amount, then the result would be a push and you'd get your money back on the wager.
