Karl-Anthony Towns is off to an outstanding start for the Knicks this year, averaging 20.9 ppg while leading the NBA with 13.8 rebounds per contest. That's powered him to an average of 37.8 PRA per game on the season. I like Towns to get 35+ PRA at up to 66% tonight.

While Evan Mobley has never been a sharpshooter, he has steadily increased his three-point volume throughout his career. Those numbers have reached a new high this season, as he's chucking up 4.2 shots per game from beyond the arc. Mobley has hit multiple threes in six of his last 10 games, and I think he offers great value to hit that target tonight at up to 45%.

Play up to 55% and 12.5 points.

Toronto has put more of an emphasis on getting Jakob Poeltl involved on offense in recent games. Now some of this surge can be attributed to missing bodies, but going from averaging 1.8 shot attempts in his first four appearances to 10.3 in his last four can't be ignored. 

The 7-footer has made 22 of his last 31 shots at a 71% conversion rate, and has scored 18 or more points in each of the last two games.

Play up to 58% and 14.5 points.

There's just something about competing against the Raptors that brings out the best in Payton Pritchard, as he's averaging 21.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.6 rebounds the last seven times he's seen his Atlantic Division rival. 

Of those seven outings, the 28-year-old point guard scored more than 12.5 points all seven times, finishing with no less than 15 points and reaching at least 20 on four occasions.

Anthony Davis has been unstoppable lately, clearing 24.5 points in four straight games, including a 44-point explosion against Detroit. He's attempted at least 17 shots in each outing and faces an Indiana defense struggling to protect the paint. Expect AD to stay aggressive and deliver another big scoring performance.

I'm taking Ziaire Williams 10+ points up to 50%. He's cleared this mark in six of nine games, and Milwaukee's lineups missing at least one regular starter have a -18.0 net rating. His bench role shouldn't eliminate scoring opportunities.

I'm taking Jamie Jaquez Jr. 15+ points below 50%. He's cleared it in seven of 11 games, including Tuesday against an elite Knicks defense. The Lakers rank 18th defensively, and Tyler Herro's potential absence could boost Jaquez's usage.

After dropping two straight to open the season, the Spurs have won nine straight games by an average of 16.1 points, and they’ve won two straight by 20+. I’ll trade this line to 15.5, as five of nine wins have come by at least 16.

The Bulls have just one win, and they rank last in the NBA in Net Rating at -16.2. Four of Chicago’s losses are by 16+ points, including two of the last three.

Smith is averaging a career-best 7.8 rebounds, and he’s corralled 8+ in five of nine games this season. Despite his success thus far, I’m willing to trade this line down to 6.5, as Smith faces a tough matchup against Victor Wembanyama and increased competition for rebounds from Nic Claxton.

Derik Queen scores most of his points in isolation and at the charity stripe.

The Nets sit 25th in isolation defense and in free throw rate allowed.

I’d play Julius Randle for Over 5.5 assists to 51%.

He recorded at least six assists in all three contests against teams ranking in the bottom half of the league in assists allowed, combining for 21 dimes on 36 potentials.

The Pelicans sit 26th in assists against, 25th in defensive rating, and are playing their third game in four nights.

Curry is off to an incandescently hot start that includes an average of 30.6 points per contest on 50.3% shooting, including 45.7% from behind the arc. He's contributing 8.4 rebounds + assists per contest as well, and he's come just a point, rebound or assist short of going 5-1 to the Over on this prop in the last six contests.

Sengun is averaging 21.3 points per game for the season on 51.4% shooting, including a career-best 47.4% from 3-point range. The elite efficiency dovetails well with the 52.2% shooting the Warriors allow on the road, and Sengun has cashed the Over on this prop in five occasions already this season, with four of those instances coming at home.

I price the Mavericks closer to a 41% underdog, making 35% an attractive trade. Rudy Gobert's drop coverage doesn't necessarily take away what Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg do best, as both thrive in the mid-range. Irving can also exploit it with floaters and acrobatic finishes. On the other end, Gobert isn't the type of center who can consistently expose Dallas' lack of depth at the center position with Dereck Lively sidelined.

I price the Suns closer to 73% favorites, making this an attractive buy. With Coby White and Grayson Allen handling most of Charlotte's backcourt minutes, Devin Booker and Jalen Green should thrive against a defense lacking point-of-attack resistance. Booker should generate efficient offense for himself and his teammates, while Moussa Diabate's questionable status adds another concern for Charlotte's interior defense.

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.
