| Best Bet | San Antonio Spurs -11.5 vs Dallas Mavericks | -110 at FanDuel |
The Dallas Mavericks will enter the matchup on the back of a six-game losing streak, while their counterparts are coming off a three-game winning streak as well as a solid 18-6 win-loss record at home. They maintain the 11th-best offensive rating and the third-best defensive rating in the league.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are seeded towards the bottom of the standings when it comes to offensive rating and 10th in the defensive rating.
The spread at Spurs -11.5 fits the hosts well considering their balance on the court as well as homecourt advantage. They cover well in such spots.
Keeping their offensive and defensive edge in mind as well as the Mavericks’ poor form in mind, we are laying San Antonio Spurs -11.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight.

| Pick #2 | Thunder vs Rockets 213.5 points | -112 at FanDuel |
The Oklahoma City Thunder, along with leading the league in record, maintain the best defensive rating as well. The Rockets, on the other hand, have the fourth-best defense amongst the 30 teams. In addition, both teams play at a considerably slow pace. Both these factors combine to result in low-scoring affairs.
The total at 213.5 points back the slow and defense-oriented narrative well. We expect the total between the Thunder and the Rockets to trend under on Saturday.

| Pick #3 | LeBron James Over 23.5 points | -102 at FanDuel |
LeBron James is averaging around 22 points per game on 50.6% shooting from the field this season. In the last five games, he has had three 20+ point games, which signify that James has still got it in him. With Luka Doncic’s absence on Saturday, we see him and Austin Reaves stepping up to take offensive charge for the Lakers.
Though the Dubs have a defensive edge over the Lakers, they will enter Saturday’s game with a depleted frontcourt. In addition to it, the Lakers have homecourt advantage, which further boost James’ chances of scoring around 24 points on Saturday.
We are backing LeBron James to score 24 points or more against the Dubs.
