Wizards vs Pistons best bet: Cade Cunningham over 35.5 points+assists (-122)
Cade Cunningham has been filling up the box scores this entire season and he should do so again on Thursday as he faces one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Just 2 days ago he had 27 points and 10 assists in the win over Washington, while over his last 5 games he’s averaging a combined 38.4 points+assists per game. He’s cleared this line 4 times in those games as well, making him a great pick for the start of our NBA best bets.
Lakers vs Bucks best bet: Luka Doncic to record 8+ assists (-194)
Luka Doncic had a poor shooting night in Brooklyn, but he was still able to get 12 assists out of that game. He’s been distributing the ball at a high clip over his last 4 games, dishing out double-digit dimes in 3 of those. That’s increased his average to 9.1 per game in his last 8 with the Lakers, giving me added confidence that he will do a good job getting his teammates involved here. The last 8 meetings show an average of 12.4 assists per game for Doncic.

Nets vs Bulls best bet: Coby White to score 25+ points (+142)
Coby White’s play has gone up a level over the past 6 games with him averaging 28.2 points per game. He’s failed to clear this line only once during that stretch, posting shooting splits of 48% from the field and 32% from three. His shot attempts are up to 20.7 per game, and if that carries over to this meeting with the Nets, he will undoubtedly have another solid scoring game. White should score well tonight and looks a good plus-money play for our NBA best bets.
Magic vs Pelicans best bet: Paolo Banchero 2+ made threes (-188)
Paolo Banchero has fully regained his form from earlier in the season, and the last 10 games have seen him average 28.1 points per game. More importantly for our bet though, he’s at 2.1 made threes per game during that stretch on a solid 34.4%. He’s cleared this line in 4 of 6 games and I like his chances to add to that against the Pelicans. New Orleans ranks only 22nd in opponent three-point percentage this season and they could have a hard time guarding the perimeter here.

Kings vs Warriors best bet: Warriors ML (-235)
Without a doubt the Warriors are the more in-form team here. They’ve won 5 in a row and are enjoying life with Jimmy Butler on board. Sacramento hasn’t been all that bad over their last 5 games, winning 2 of them, but the wins were against the injury-decimated Spurs and Mavericks so we have to take that into consideration. These 2 teams played each other 3 weeks ago just after the Warriors brought in Butler. The game finished 132-108 in favor of Golden State and I feel like Butler will do a solid job on the Kings’ wings here and Curry will do the rest on offense. Golden State is 7-1 in 8 home games and has covered in 6 of 7 games played on a Thursday at Chase Center. It’s juiced, but the Warriors feel like a solid pick to round off our NBA best bets.
