Clippers vs. Celtics
By Joe Dellera
The Clippers face off against the Celtics on Sunday afternoon and they are dealing with a number of injuries. The Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal is also done for the season.
This moves much of the offense into the hands of James Harden which is great for Zubac. Harden and Zu have an excellent pick and roll game and Harden continues to set him up in the paint.
He should feast in this matchup against the relatively poor Celtics’ interior defense.
Zubac averages 16.2 ppg but that jumps to 18.2 without Kawhi this season. I’ll back him in this spot against Boston.
Pick: Ivica Zubac Over 17.5 Points (+100)

Kings vs. Spurs
By Bet Labs
This NBA system targets teams that have started a road trip after a poor stretch both straight up and against the spread, capitalizing on the market’s tendency to overvalue recent performance, which appears to be the case for the Kings entering today's matchup against the Spurs.
Teams coming off multiple losses often find renewed focus when they hit the road, as travel removes distractions and resets team chemistry.
Early season road trips in months like November provide an opportunity for struggling squads to regroup and respond with urgency.
When the public fades these teams due to short term losing trends, the lines often become inflated, creating hidden value for disciplined bettors.
Historically, these bounce-back situations reveal that a reset on the road can trigger stronger defensive effort and improved execution once pressure shifts away from home expectations.
So, let's take the points with Sacramento on Sunday afternoon.
Pick: Kings +8.5 (-115)

Warriors vs. Pelicans
By Bet Labs
This matchup fits cleanly into Evan Abrams’ Rebounding Home Favs system—one that targets home favorites in strong rebounding form.
These teams typically convert their interior edge into second-chance points, control pace, and maintain an ATS-friendly profile at home.
Early and midseason windows especially reward teams with sustained energy and board dominance, and Houston checks those boxes. The Rockets aren’t an elite-tier team in the market’s eyes, but their consistency, physicality, and home-court stability make them exactly the kind of undervalued favorite the system is designed to identify.
With the Magic missing Banchero and relying heavily on Wagner for shot creation, Orlando’s margin for error shrinks significantly on the road—particularly against a team that punishes opponents on the glass.

Bulls vs. Jazz
By Alex Hinton
Despite coming off the bench in each of the last three games, Collier has recorded seven assists twice and had 11 assists against Indiana. This season, he is averaging 50.8 passes per game resulting in 12 potential assists per game. With 12 potential assists tonight, he should record at least seven. He had eight assists against the Bulls last March.
I also expect George to record his share of assists as well. He has at least six assists in all six Utah home games this season. They both may get a couple passing to Markkanen, who has scored 25 points in eight of 12 games this season. He is averaging 23 points in seven career games against the Bulls, scoring 28 or more in four of them.
I will conclude this Jazz parlay with Bailey's PRA line, which he has cleared in each of his last four games. He may get there with the help of the long ball as he has made at least two 3s in three of his past four games.
Pick: Isaiah Collier Over 6.5 Assists (+111)
