Whether you're looking to ride an under in a game with an injured superstar or hit a player prop in a late matchup, we have you covered.
Read on for all three of our "Buckets" best bets, and find Wednesday's full episode below.
| Game | Time (ET) | Pick |
|---|---|---|
  | 8:00 p.m. | Under 217.5 |

Under 217.5 vs. Magic
8:00 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Sean Little
A big part of this cap is Giannis getting hurt late in Milwaukee's game against the Celtics last night.
If he is in anyway hampered or slowed down, I don't see how the Bucks can backfill that offensive production. Both teams are on a back-to-back and the Magic are the league-best to the under after a loss at 19-12-1 in that spot.
If the Bucks backcourt has to carry the scoring against the elite defensive guards of Orlando, who still have something to play for, I don't see them having much success offensively tonight. I don't know where the buckets are going to come from and we know the Magic have a hard time scoring as is. Orlando is 27th in pace post-All Star break, so I have to go Under 217.5.

Spurs +15.5 at Thunder
8:00 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
I have been pretty fortunate since late March and have found value on the bad teams who don't have anything to play for.
Both teams are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. OKC has its sights set on the playoffs and might start resting some guys. Giannis Antetokounmpo just went down with a calf injury, so don't be surprised to see guys taking it easy in this last week. Victor Wembanyama has confirmed that he is a once-in-a-generation player and I think he is going to finish the season strong.
I like the Spurs and I am going to sprinkle the moneyline as well. Wemby has solidified himself as the Rookie of the Year and it is his time now.

Naz Reid Over 17.5 Points at Nuggets
10:00 p.m. ET ⋅ ESPN
By Jay Money
Naz Reid is coming off a game where he got ejected in the first quarter.
He will be rested and ready for this one. He has been vocal about his desire to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. He will be gunning for points and stat-padding out there. I am going to run it back here one time for the one time.
I think Reid will have a good game tonight regardless of if they are getting blown out or up by 20. His teammates will make it a point to get him the rock and I think he goes for 20-plus points tonight.
