Best Bet
San Antonio Spurs @ OKC Thunder (1:10pm)
OKC Thunder
Line -9.5
It is hard to ignore what this Thunder squad is achieving; they just equalled the best 25 game start to an NBA season ever, losing just one game.
The scary part for the rest of the competition is the fact that they haven’t even been at full strength. They have starter calibre players as back up in every position and seamlessly roll between lineups like it is nothing.
A combined point differential of 120 points over their last five games, including the 49-point demolition of Phoenix after the 30-point drubbing of Utah. They unapologetically want to win this in-season tournament and will not be denied here.

Thunder Line -9.5/Hartenstein 2+ Assists/ Castle 4+ Rebounds
Value Bet
New York Knicks @ Orlando Magic (9:30am)
Desmond Bane
6+ Rebounds
Bane looked to enjoy being Robin instead of Alfred, as he has struggled to find his role at Orlando, playing as their third option. The injury to Franz Wagner was met with 37 points and 6 rebounds by Bane, last start.
That’s four of his last six games now with 6+ rebounds, with a 14% increase to his rebounding over that stretch. New York has plenty of rebounding threats with Towns and Hart, so Bane will need to have an emphasis on rebounding if they are to limit the Knicks second chances.
Bane played 38 minutes last game with a 6% increase to his usage rating. Orlando will need him to be heavily involved again if they want to advance to the NBA Cup.
