Dan Karpuc: Nikola Jokic Over 21.5 R+A at Thunder
This will be Jokic’s second game against OKC this season. In the first meeting, he had a 19-point, 16-rebound, 13-assist triple-double and is averaging a ridiculous 21.0 points, 11.1 rebounds and 8.4 assists on the season. The Thunder have allowed opposing centers to pull down 19.5 boards and dish out 4.39 assists per contest and since Jokic will play the majority of the minutes in a presumably tight game in Oklahoma City, there’s a ton of upside for him in this spot. To hammer that home, Jokic had 18 potential assists and a whopping 20 rebounding chances in his first meeting against the Thunder. I love his over here and this is clearly my favorite bet today.

Brad Pinkerton: Thunder +6.5* vs. Nuggets

On a light night without many betting options, taking the Thunder (6-1 ATS) to cover is usually a safe bet. However, I'm going to be patient with this one to see if I can get a better line. BetQL tells me that the early money was hammering Nuggets -6, so I'll wait to see if I can get Thunder +7 or better and then check in on the Public/Sharp data again to make sure I'm on the right side of this bet. Denver (3-4 ATS), which only beat OKC by five at home on Oct. 22, is just 1-3 ATS on the road and is coming off an 11-point road loss to the Lakers. Plus, all three of the Nuggets' losses have come as road favorites, which gives me pause about them covering anything at -6.5 or higher in OKC.

Lucy Burdge: Warriors -8.5 at Magic
The Warriors (2-6 ATS) are due for a cover, having failed to beat the spread in their past three games and I think they can get it done tonight against the Magic, who are also 2-6 ATS. BetQL points out some trends favoring the Warriors to cover in this spot: Golden State is 13-3 ATS in November over the last two years and Steve Kerr is 62-43 ATS in November while coaching Golden State. I have a lot of faith in Steph Curry and the Warriors to get it together and cover this spread at Orlando.
