Play up to 55% and 9.5 points.

Sandro Mamukelashvili is coming off his worst showing as a Laker on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, hitting two free throws for a pair of points and missing all four of his field goal attempts, including three from behind the arc. 

The potential to bounce back is high here, as the last time the 27-year-old forward had a weak offensive display (four points on Oct. 30), he put up 11 the very next game on an efficient 4-of-7 shooting.

He's contributed eight or more points in five of his last seven appearances overall, and should get enough looks and see enough time to continue that trend on Friday.

Play up to 62%. 

It's a crapshoot projecting numbers for someone like Robert Williams III, as he's averaging his fewest minutes since his sophomore season at 16.7 as a reserve for Portland.

Even in a somewhat limited capacity, Williams III is still crashing the glass for 7.2 rebounds per contest, and his season high of 10 came against the Lakers in just over 20 minutes of action.

He and teammate Donovan Clingan each had double-digit boards on Oct. 27, accounting for more than half (20) of Portland's 38 in total.

Acuff Under 5.5 assists is playable below 53%. Sacramento struggles to convert shots efficiently, while San Antonio has been one of the league's better teams at limiting point-guard assists.

It's the Kevin Durant Bowl in the Valley, and I'm backing the Suns at 31%, as I price Phoenix closer to a 34% underdog against Houston. The Rockets' defense is tough to crack, making secondary scoring crucial. Luke Kennard and Collin Gillespie will need to provide perimeter shooting and spacing to help Phoenix generate efficient offense.

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.
