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.

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%.

I'll back the Grizzlies at 60%, as I price Memphis closer to 66%. Trey Murphy is doubtful, and his absence would hurt New Orleans' perimeter shooting and spacing, making it tougher for Zion Williamson against Memphis' size. There are also some potential chemistry concerns surrounding the Pelicans' locker room.

MIA (-140)
I price the Heat closer to 61% favorites. Evan Mobley's absence is a major factor, especially against Miami's frontcourt duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. His absence creates a significant matchup advantage and is the primary driver behind my edge.

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)

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. You can find a collection of resources below, ranging from databases to NBA betting tips; browse through them and find the best value on every NBA betting site.
