Franz Wagner o24.5 Points Scored (-144)
Play to 62%. Franz Wagner has been unstoppable lately, scoring 30+ points in three straight games. He's playing heavy minutes with Orlando's depleted rotation and leads the team with a 30% usage rate. After attempting at least 22 shots in each of his last three outings, expect another big performance against Milwaukee's struggling defense.
Tyler Herro o24.5 Points Scored (+121)
Buy up to 48%. Tyler Herro is coming off a 27-point performance against the Lakers and has cleared 24.5 points in two of his last four games. He's seeing plenty of offensive opportunities and faces an Orlando defense allowing around 24 PPG to point guards.

Fri, Nov 13 • 7:00 PM ET
Andrew Nembhard o7.5 Total Assists (-119)
Andrew Nembhard's 7.8 assists per game rank within the top 10 in the NBA so far this year. That's not fluke, as he put up 7.7 assists per game last season as well. He'll continue to function as the main distributor for Indiana, and I like his assists total tonight at up to 55%.
Karl-Anthony Towns o19.5 Points Scored (-140)
Karl-Anthony Towns is an outstanding rebounder, but there's more value on his scoring total tonight. He's averaging 20.9 ppg for the year and has now put up 20+ points in each of his last three games. I like Towns to score 20+ points tonight and will be trading that market up to 62%.

Herbert Jones o9.5 Points Scored (+121)
Herbert Jones 10+ points, up to 45%. Trey Murphy III's doubtful status could create more scoring opportunities. Jones made three triples against Memphis earlier this month and can attack the rim, where the Grizzlies will miss Zach Edey.
Cedric Coward o7.5 Total Rebounds (+111)
Cedric Coward 8+ rebounds, up to 50%. Memphis is missing Edey and Quinten Post, creating a greater need for team rebounding. Coward has nine-plus rebounds in six of 10 games, including nine against New Orleans.

Josh Giddey o1.5 3-Pointers Made (+121)
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 o7.5 Total Rebounds (-138)
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.

Bam Adebayo o1.5 Total Steals (+110)
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.

Reed Sheppard o2.5 3-Pointers Made (+136)
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.
Keyonte George o5.5 Total Assists (+100)

SA -11.5 (-119)
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.
Julian Champagnie o9.5 Points Scored (-114)
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.
Deni Avdija o1.5 3-Pointers Made (-144)
Play to 63%. Deni Avdija has cleared 1.5 threes in three straight games, including a whopping 13 attempts against Oklahoma City on Wednesday. He's shooting 37.5% from deep over his last five outings and faces a Sacramento defense allowing opponents to shoot 36.9% from downtown.

MIA (+155)
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.
Our experts and prediction models are hard at work analyzing the data. Check back shortly for today's picks, or explore our Computer Picks for inspiration.
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.
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!
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.
| Team | Moneyline |
|---|---|
| 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.
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.
| Team | Spread |
|---|---|
| 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.
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.
| Team | Total |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles Lakers | O 240.5 (-110) |
| Golden State Warriors | U 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.
Our moneyline picks, point spread predictions, and Over/Under estimates are solid tools to start betting with. Don't glance over other tools, though, especially NBA analytics.
