New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : New York Knicks -4.5 (-114)

Odds available at betrivers at time of publishing

The New York Knicks have a strong case for beating the point spread of -4.5 against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks have been performing well at home, with a record of 3-2, and have an even stronger record against the Pacers in their last five meetings (4-1). Furthermore, the Knicks' scoring average over the last five games (125.4) is higher than the Pacers' (122.2), especially when playing at home (125.2 vs Pacers' 117.8 on the road). Conversely, the Pacers have been allowing more points to their opponents (125.6) than the Knicks (121.6), indicating a potential defensive weakness that the Knicks can exploit. This data suggests the Knicks are likely to not only win, but also cover the spread.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves : Oklahoma City Thunder -7 (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Despite Oklahoma City Thunder's recent poor record against the Timberwolves, betting on the Thunder with a -7 point spread is a good choice due to their stronger scoring performance at home. Over the last 5 games, the Thunder have averaged 119.6 points at home compared to Timberwolves' 115.2 points away. Furthermore, the Thunder's L5 opponent team score at home (118.2) is less than their own average, indicating a positive scoring differential. In contrast, Timberwolves' L5 opponent team score away (110.2) is lower than their own score, suggesting a narrower scoring margin. Therefore, statistical data indicates a higher likelihood of the Thunder outscoring the Timberwolves by more than 7 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves : Minnesota Timberwolves 7 (-114)

Odds available at betrivers at time of publishing

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a strong track record against the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning 4 out of their last 5 matches. They also have a better recent away record (4-1) compared to the Thunder's home record (3-2). Although both teams have similar overall scores in the last 5 games, the Timberwolves have a lower opponent team score (114.2) indicating a stronger defense. They also consistently outscored the Thunder in away games (115.2 vs 119.6) while limiting their opponents to lower scores (110.2 vs 118.2). This indicates that the Timberwolves play well on the road and have a defense capable of containing the Thunder's offense. Giving them a 7-point spread seems like a solid choice based on these statistics.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves : Minnesota Timberwolves Over 93.5 Team Total Points (-909)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The Minnesota Timberwolves have an encouraging scoring record, particularly in their recent away games. Their average score over the last five games, both overall and away, significantly surpasses the bet's outcome point of 93.5, with respective averages of 117.4 and 115.2. Our model also predicts a high score of 120.47 for the Timberwolves, further indicating a strong likelihood of achieving an 'over' outcome. Moreover, the Timberwolves have a solid recent performance record, with 3-2 overall and an impressive 4-1 in away games. Their previous performances suggest a high-scoring trend that is likely to continue in the upcoming match against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Consequently, the bet on 'Minnesota Timberwolves Over 93.5' is statistically grounded and appears to be a solid choice.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : New York Knicks Over 102.5 Team Total Points (-909)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The New York Knicks have a strong recent scoring record, averaging 125.4 points overall in their last five games and 125.2 points in their last five home games. This is significantly above the 102.5 points target for this bet. They also have a winning home record, indicating a strong performance in their home court. The model predicts them to score 121.53 points in this game, which again is well above the betting target. Additionally, their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, have conceded an average of 121.6 points in the Knicks' last five matches, suggesting the Knicks could capitalise on their defensive weaknesses.
