Kyshawn George o1.5 3-Pointers Made (-149)
Play up to 63%. Kyshawn George has found his rhythm from beyond the arc, attempting at least seven triples in three straight games and making at least three in each. His increased volume makes this line appealing, especially if Anthony Davis sits.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker o19.5 Points Scored (-145)
Play up to 63%. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has stepped up with Jalen Johnson sidelined, scoring 34 and 26 points in his last two games. He's also attempted at least 20 shots in both contests, highlighting his increased offensive role. With Johnson potentially out again, Alexander-Walker is in a great spot to clear 19.5 points.

Ty Jerome o2.5 3-Pointers Made (-121)
Opponents are attempting the second-most triples against the Thunder (42.4) and hitting the third-most (15.3). Jerome's three-point volume is the highest of his career at 6.9 3PA per contest, and he's canned 3+ in three of seven games.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander o5.5 Total Assists (-199)
SGA took a ridiculous 61 shots across his last two games, and his monster scoring (85 total points) is the only reason the Thunder won back-to-back contests against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Grizzlies’ gameplan will be clear - pack the paint or send double-teams to limit SGA’s shot attempts, and force others to beat them.

Zion Williamson o19.5 Points Scored (-103)
Zion has been motivated and healthy this year. He's averaging 21.5 and has scored 22+ in four of five. He's facing Rudy Gobert, who is struggling badly on offense this year, costing him playing time. Gobert has even been inconsistent on defense, which is usually his specialty.
LaMelo Ball u6.5 Total Assists (-110)

Jaime Jaquez Jr. o14.5 Points Scored (+100)
Play up to 60% and 16.5 points.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. is fed up with the Bucks' moral victories, which he proclaimed after his team rallied from down 22 points against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday before eventually falling by seven.
He'll need to continue putting his money where his mouth is if he wants to get Milwaukee out of the basement in the East. Jaquez Jr. has contributed 18 or more points in three of the last four games, at least, so he's at least pulling his own weight.
The 25-year-old wing is second on the roster in both points and shot attempts, so projecting no less than 15 points isn't demanding much.
Jakob Poeltl u8.5 Points Scored (-135)
Play up to 58%.
While likely just a temporary move, Jakob Poeltl was moved to the second unit for Wednesday's road encounter with the Denver Nuggets after missing the prior two games due to left shoulder bursitis.
Fans have long been calling for Poeltl to be removed from the starting lineup anyway in favor of the younger and more mobile Collin Murray-Boyles, who was a -4 in 23 minutes in a 19-point loss compared to Poeltl's -11 in 19 minutes.
The 7-foot Austrian big man has finished with at least nine points only once through six appearances. He's playing his fewest minutes since 2020 as a member of the San Antonio Spurs, and simply can't be trusted to play anything more than short spurts at a time.

Sandro Mamukelashvili o7.5 Points Scored (-125)
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.
Robert Williams III o6.5 Total Rebounds (+107)
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.

2027 NBA MVP Odds, Favorites & Prediction: Wembanyama Leads a Loaded Field
2027 NBA MVP Odds, Favorites & Prediction: Wembanyama Leads a Loaded Field
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.
