Dan Karpuc: Thunder +7 vs. Clippers
Josh Giddey, Kawhi Leonard and Marcus Morris Sr. will all miss this game, which means these teams will essentially have the same squads that they had in their last meeting on Tuesday with the presumed lone addition of Paul George for the Clippers. Not only did the Thunder win that game by 14 points, but they thoroughly outplayed the Clippers from start to finish. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33 points, five rebounds, eight assists) was the best player on the court and got revenge against his former team. It’ll take a little while for this L.A. team to figure things out fully and with Leonard missing this game again due to “injury maintenance,” chemistry might be difficult to attain since players will be shuffled in and out of the lineup. This Thunder team is young and much less talented overall, but their hunger to compete has made them a very profitable team to back against the spread over the last couple seasons.

Lucy Burdge: Thunder +7 vs. Clippers
The Thunder just covered +5.5 against the Clippers on Tuesday (OKC won by 14) and I think they can get it done again tonight. The Clippers have now failed to cover in three straight, so they don’t exactly have momentum on their side. Plus, the Thunder are 24-6 ATS versus teams scoring 108.0 or fewer points per game over the last two years, while Mark Daigneault is 19-7 ATS after allowing 100 points or fewer while coaching Oklahoma City. With those trends in mind and a cover against the Clippers already under their belt, I see the Thunder covering again tonight.

Brad Pinkerton: Grizzlies -150 at Kings

On a light NBA slate, let's keep it simple. The 3-1 Grizzlies are coming off of a 10-point win against the Nets and now visit the 0-3 Kings. Though Sacramento has been feisty so far, losing by just five to the Warriors and by two to the Clippers, Memphis is the better team and -150 represents great value in this spot. The BetQL model agrees, projecting the Grizz as -282 favorites, which makes this moneyline look even better. Because the Kings have been competitive against a couple of surefire playoff teams already, I'm not comfortable betting the spread here, but I'll definitely take Memphis to win outright.
