Kings vs. Pistons
By Kyle Murray
Jalen Duren projects well in this spot against the Kings, who are a bottom-5 defensive team so far this season.
I project Duren for 20.6 points and 12.4 rebounds in this matchup against a Kings team that allows the 2nd-most points in the paint and the 2nd-highest FG% to opponents this season.
Pick: Jalen Duren Over 27.5 Points & Rebounds (-110)

Warriors vs. Timberwolves
By Joe Dellera
The Timberwolves face off against the Warriors on Sunday, and I’ll be targeting Julius Randle.
I love this spot for Randle against the Warriors, especially without Jimmy Butler.
The Warriors are even more undersized now, and arguably their best defender to put on Randle is done for the season.
Randle is averaging 22.6 points per game this season and is coming off a 30-point game against the Bulls.
Additionally, Randle has hit this in five straight matchups against Golden State, including a 27-point outing earlier this season.
Pick: Julius Randle Over 22.5 Points (-115)

Raptors vs. Thunder
By Bet Labs
This NBA system identifies value in large favorites that the betting public tends to fade.
It focuses on regular season games where the favorite opens with a significant spread yet receives limited betting support, often below 40%.
These are spots where the market overreacts to recent performances, particularly when the opponent is coming off a strong win by a large margin.
Public bettors often chase momentum and undervalue elite teams laying points, assuming the line is inflated.
Historically, these contrarian favorites outperform expectations as sharp money backs the undervalued side while casual bettors load up on the underdog.
This system exploits those perception gaps, capitalizing on strong teams that are capable of covering despite public skepticism.
Pick: Thunder -11.5 (-110)

Heat vs. Suns
By Bet Labs
This NBA system focuses on identifying road teams that maintain strong performance despite a heavy schedule.
During the regular season, these teams play frequently — four or more times in the past six days—but still have at least one day of rest before their next game.
Facing travel fatigue and consistent competition, they are often undervalued by oddsmakers, particularly when the line moves slightly against them from open to close.
The market tends to overreact to perceived exhaustion and recent workload, inflating spreads and creating value on disciplined, well-conditioned teams that thrive with limited rest.
These situations reward squads with rhythm and continuity, especially on the road where focus and execution often outweigh fatigue narratives.
Pick: Heat +4.5 (-110)
