Evan Mobley o16.5 Points Scored (-122)
Mobley is averaging a career-best 19.7 ppg, and he's scored 17+ in five of six appearances. Facing a Thunder interior defense missing DPOY runner-up Chet Holmgren isn't a daunting matchup, and I'll trade this line up to 18.5.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander o29.5 Points Scored (-108)
I’ll trade this scoring line up to 30.5.
With so many of Oklahoma City’s key offensive weapons sidelined, SGA will be leaned on even more heavily for his scoring prowess. The absences of Holmgren, Williams, Caruso and Wallace leave 41.3 ppg up for grabs.
The reigning MVP has found success against Cleveland, scoring 30 or more in five straight matchups with the Cavaliers, including two straight on the road.

Mon, Nov 2 • 7:30 PM ET
Jalen Brunson o5.5 Total Assists (-185)
While Jalen Brunson wasn't distributing the ball well in the New York Knicks' season-opening three-game losing streak, he's dished out at least six assists in each of his last three games. Expect that approach to continue, as I'm backing Brunson to get 6+ assists at up to 67%.
Michael Porter Jr. o19.5 Points Scored (-122)
Michael Porter Jr. was one of the few bright spots for the Nets last year, as he averaged 24.2 ppg to set a new career high for the former Denver Nugget. Porter is scoring 21.2 ppg to start the season, and has gotten to the 20+ mark four times already. With the New York Knicks playing some fairly mediocre defense, I see Porter as a good bet to hit 20+ points at up to 55%.

Desmond Bane o2.5 3-Pointers Made (-145)
Play up to 62%. Bane is averaging 3.5 made threes on 9.5 attempts per game and has drained 11 triples across his last two outings. With Banchero and Suggs sidelined, his shooting volume should remain high.
Trae Young o19.5 Points Scored (+100)
Play up to 55%. Young is averaging 20.7 PPG and has cleared 19.5 points in all but one appearance this season. Orlando ranks 25th in defensive rating and allows 21.5 PPG to opposing point guards. With the Magic struggling to defend the perimeter, I expect Young to deliver another 20-point performance.

CHA
Mon, Nov 2 • 7:30 PM ET
Brandon Miller o24.5 Points Scored (+133)
Play up to 48%. Miller leads Charlotte with 24.4 PPG and a 34.6% usage rate, giving him plenty of scoring opportunities. He dropped 31 against Detroit last week and is averaging 23.1 field-goal attempts per game. Even against a tough Pistons defense, that volume makes 25 points attainable.
Duncan Robinson o2.5 3-Pointers Made (-170)
Play up to 65%. Robinson is averaging 3.7 made threes on 8.8 attempts per game, clearing this line in four of six outings. Charlotte is allowing opponents to shoot 37.1% from deep, and Detroit's excellent ball movement should give Robinson plenty of opportunities to knock down 3+ triples.
CHI

PHI
Mon, Nov 2 • 7:30 PM ET
Wilson has hit the ground running at the NBA level, averaging 30.4 points + rebounds + assists across 34.2 minutes per game while putting up 23.5 field-goal + free-throw attempts per contest. The rookie fourth overall pick's numbers are even better when factoring out Opening Night, as Wilson is sitting on 32.4 PRA over his last five while taking at least five shots from deep in every one of those contests.
Tyrese Maxey o34.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-118)
Maxey has been the most consistent all-around cog in the 76ers' star-studded engine, averaging 38.1 points + rebounds + assists across 37.6 minutes per contest. He's shooting a career-best 48.6% as well, and despite the large spread implying we could see some shortened minutes for top players, the Bulls' league-high pace of play gives Maxey plenty of chances to cash the Over.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. o7.5 Rebounds and Assists (-140)
Jaquez Jr. has nailed this Over in four of his six outings with Milwaukee, and he could cash this on boards alone (7.2 RPG). Don't sleep on his passing either - he's dished 4+ assists in three of his last five contests.
LaMelo Ball o6.5 Total Assists (-130)
Ball has dished 7+ dimes in three of his last five games, and now he faces a Milwaukee defense that allowed 130+ points twice last week. He should particularly feast against this Bucks bench, which includes rookies Nate Ament and Brayden Burries.

MEM (-194)
I love the Grizzlies at this probability, as I price them closer to 72%. With Yves Missi sidelined, Karlo Matkovic and DeAndre Jordan are left to handle a Memphis frontcourt featuring Zach Edey and Cameron Boozer. Memphis has a significant offensive advantage inside, while its size should also help protect the paint and make life difficult for Zion Williamson.
BOS

HOU
Mon, Nov 2 • 8:30 PM ET
Kevin Durant o21.5 Points Scored (-125)
I'd bet this up to 22.5 and 57%. Durant is shooting 41% from beyond the arc through seven games (51% from the field overall), and he cashed this Over in four of his six contests in October. Look for him to target mismatches against White and Pritchard tonight.
Derrick White o3.5 Total Assists (-135)
Playable up to 4.5. White has dished 4+ dimes in five of his six outings this season while averaging 5.2 APG. Houston's army of long-armed defenders will limit paths to the rim, but that suits White's drive-and-kick game.
UTA

SA
Mon, Nov 2 • 8:30 PM ET
Victor Wembanyama o24.5 Points Scored (-164)
Play up to 65%. Wembanyama has cleared 24.5 points in three straight games, including a 43-point eruption against Minnesota and 36 against Utah. He's attempted at least 21 shots in each outing, shooting 50% or better. With Jackson Jr. and Nurkic sidelined, Wemby should dominate the Jazz's depleted frontcourt again.
Play up to 48%. Peterson has cleared 14.5 points in consecutive games, scoring 16 and 18, respectively. The rookie is averaging 13.3 PPG with a 21.7% usage rate, and San Antonio is allowing 20.4 PPG to opposing shooting guards. I like Peterson's chances of reaching 15 points again.
POR
@
DEN
Mon, Nov 2 • 9:00 PM ET
o229.5 (-108)
Both offenses are cooking, and I’ll trade the total up to 233.5.
Both teams rank in the Top 10 in Offensive Rating and in the Bottom 15 in Defensive Rating over their last four games. Three of four head-to-head matchups between these teams went Over last season, averaging 246.3 points and eclipsing 260 points twice.
DEN (-163)
Give me the Nuggets at 61%, as I price them closer to 67% against Portland. The key is pulling Donovan Clingan away from the paint, and Denver has the perfect two-man game to exploit that. Jamal Murray's shooting and Jokic's pick-and-pop ability will force Clingan to defend on the perimeter, opening driving lanes for Denver to attack the rim.

Mon, Nov 2 • 10:00 PM ET
Walker Kessler u10.5 Total Rebounds (-117)
Playable up to 68%.
Walker Kessler's 15-rebound outburst versus the Toronto Raptors was the second game in a row that the 7-foot-2 behemoth grabbed at least 13 boards.
Context matters, though. Kessler had five inches on the starting centers for both Toronto and the Golden State Warriors, both of whom were either third-stringers (Trayce Jackson-Davis) or simply horribly undersized (Gui Santos).
The combination of Antetokounmpo and Adebayo will put up much more of a fight on the glass Monday night, and that will therefore keep Kessler's rebounding numbers to the bare minimum.
Bam Adebayo o18.5 Points Scored (-105)
Playable up to 60%.
When Miami had a goose egg in the win column through four games, all Adebayo was contributing to the cause was a measly 11.8 points on 40% shooting and 16.7% from distance.
It's no coincidence that the Heat getting their groove back has coincided with the three-time All-Star playing some of his best basketball. Adebayo has averaged 25.5 points over his last two appearances, shooting 63.3% from the field while bringing down nine rebounds per contest.
It's reassuring to see that the 29-year-old big man is still capable of monster numbers, even with the Greek Freak filling up the stat sheet in his own right.

Mon, Nov 2 • 10:00 PM ET
Rui Hachimura o5.5 Total Rebounds (+117)
Play up to 50%.
Rui Hachimura's rebounding numbers aren't setting the world ablaze. The eight-year pro is grabbing six per contest on 11 rebounding chances, although both are significantly higher (3.4 boards on 5.8 chances) than what he contributed to the Lakers in 2025-26.
This prop is more so trying to bank on the upside of a 6-foot-8 big bringing down at least six rebounds against a Raptors team that had Walker Kessler and Luka Doncic each finish with exactly 15 last night.
If Jones Jr. sits, then that's 4.6 rebounds which need to be accounted for, raising the ceiling of this prop even more so.
Ja'Kobe Walter o2.5 3-Pointers Made (+121)
Play up to 55%.
Toronto is incredibly weak as a unit shooting the rock from behind the arc, ranking 25th in makes (11.7) and 24th in efficiency (32%). That makes Ja'Kobe Walter's contributions in that department all the more valuable.
The 22-year-old sniper is 26th amongst players in both triples per game (2.8) and total threes (17), all the while converting a career-high 41.5%.
He's gone four games in a row with at least three 3-pointers, as well, making him the perfect threat to abuse a Clippers defense that's proven incapable of slowing down hot shooting.

PHO (+150)
Give me the Suns at 40%, as I price them closer to 49% underdogs. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green should return after sitting out the first leg of Golden State's back-to-back, but I still see value on Phoenix. The Warriors lack the individual defensive personnel to consistently contain Devin Booker and the Suns' perimeter scoring threats.
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.
