Playable to 47%.

Josh Giddey has averaged an extra 5.2 field goal attempts per 36 minutes with Wilson off the court, and nearly two of them have come from downtown.

He will take on more of a shoot-first role in his absence, and that’ll compound further if Norm Powell is also out or at all limited with his back issue.

Onyeka Okongwu is a target for 8+ boards to 61%. The Bulls play at the league’s highest pace and rank 23rd in limiting rebounds to Okongwu’s position. Okongwu has grabbed 10+ rebounds in all five games against Bottom-10 teams in rebounding vs. position, averaging a strong 11.6 along the way.

Play up to 52%.

Getting a steals prop at plus money for an Adebayo steals prop is outstanding value. 

Offensive shortcomings this season aside, the three-time All-Star has at least maintained the status quo defensively as one of the Association's top interior presences. His 2.2 steals are a career-best number through 11 outings, having totalled multiple steals eight times.

Play up to 60%. 

The whiteboard in Cleveland's locker room will have the words "shoot, shoot, and shoot some more" circled numerous times. 

That's music to the ears of backup guard Maleek Thomas, as he's converted a staggering 48% from distance (24-of-50) to begin his rookie year. He's toppled 11.5 points in three of the last four games, and six of nine overall.

Utah's drop coverage could create open perimeter looks for Reed Sheppard, who averages 6.2 three-point attempts over his last five games. Marcus Smart's suspension adds more minutes and more opportunity to jack up threes tonight.

Trade to -12.5. Golden State ranks third in Defensive Rating at home at 105.1 but just 24th on the road at 119. The Dubs allow only 105.3 ppg at Chase Center but a whopping 120.2 at all other locations. The Warriors have scored only three points fewer on the road, but coupled with the massive dropoff in defensive efficiency and the loss of Curry’s scoring and floor-spacing, Golden State is not in a competitive position.

Champagnie has started each of the last two games with Devin Vassell sidelined, and he's scored 10+ in three straight games. With both Vassell and De'Aaron Fox questionable tonight, Champagnie could be in line for additional playing time and scoring opportunities. Trade to 10.5.

Play to 59%. Darius Acuff Jr. is on a tear, averaging 26.2 PPG and clearing 24.5 points in back-to-back games. He also dropped 33 against Portland earlier this season. With the Trail Blazers allowing 31.1 PPG to opposing point guards, I expect Sacramento's rookie sensation to deliver another big scoring performance.

Bennett Stirtz 10+ points, strictly below 45%. Oklahoma City's injuries have expanded his role, and he's scored 11+ in five of his last seven. His 71.6% road true shooting and shot-creation ability support another double-digit outing.

Max Strus 3+ made threes, playable up to 45%. He's hit three triples in each of his first two games, owns LA's highest 3-point-attempt rate, and has room for more minutes as his role expands.

I'm backing the Heat at 37%, as I price Miami closer to 46%. Without Jalen Duren, Detroit's undersized frontcourt will have trouble containing Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis just combined for 60 points on 71% shooting against the Pistons, highlighting this matchup vulnerability.

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.
