| Game | Time (ET) | Pick |
|---|---|---|
  | 7 p.m. | Over 230 |
  | 7 p.m. | LaMelo Ball Over 3.5 3s |
  | 8 p.m. | Tyler Herro Over 30.5 PRA |

Pacers Over 230 vs. Bulls
7 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Matt Moore
The Bulls defense is terrible. Simple enough.
The Pacers are a legitimate offensive threat night in and night out. They currently have an offensive rating of 128 and tout the fifth-highest pace in the league.

Ball Over 3.5 3s vs. Nets
7 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Joe Dellera
I know it is a big number but at plus money, the value is there. He currently averages 9.0 attempts a game and has seen an uptick in attempts this year.
The Nets are allowing 40% of all field goals to be attempted behind the arc and are allowing over 40% makes from 3.

Herro Over 30.5 PRA at Bucks
8 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Jim Turvey
This number has since moved up to his average of 30.5 PRA. The backcourt of Milwaukee is not the same defensive strength it used to be, and I like Herro's shot making and second-unit efficiency enough to take the higher number.

James Under 7.5 Rebs vs. Magic
10:30 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA TV
By Jim Turvey
I know we keep saying it but he is in year 21 and eventually some regression has to occur. The second night of a back-to-back for a 39 year old, I expect some minutes restriction at least in rebounds.
The Magic are quietly putting together one of the best defenses in the league and a are top-10 rebounding team with one of the slowest paced offenses in the NBA.
