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.

Bennett Stirtz 10+ points, strictly below 45%. Oklahoma City's injuries have expanded his role, and he's scored 11+ in five of his last seven. His 71.6% road true shooting and shot-creation ability support another double-digit outing.
Max Strus o2.5 3-Pointers Made (+126)

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.
