2-Unit Play Take Phoenix +4.5 over New York (10 p.m. EST, Wednesday November 20)
Beal and Durant are out for the Suns but Phoenix has great depth and that is something the Knicks can’t claim. The Knicks had Tuesday off but this team is playing its third game in four nights, and the short rotation will hurt them as there has to be some tired legs out there. The Suns are in the same rest situation but have a stronger bench and at home they should be able to better handle the schedule and keep this one close if not win outright.
4-Unit Play Take Orlando/LA Clippers UNDER 205.5 (10:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday November 20)
These teams are a combined 19-11 to the under this season. When all is said and done we think these two squads will be in the Top 5 for points allowed on the season. The last meeting was a 100-97 Clippers win in Orlando, and we could see a similar result here. We aren’t afraid of the low total. The Magic have held six straight opponents under the century mark, and the Clippers are not a good offensive club. They will have to step up the defense in order to be competitive tonight.
Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

1-Unit Play. Take #515 New Orleans (+15) over Cleveland (7:40 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
Cleveland’s bubble burst last night in Boston. They maxed out and took their first loss. Are these guys really going to come back and muster the energy to blow out a hapless Pelicans team that is missing all its top players? I don’t think so.
2-Unit Play. Take #520 Houston (-6.5) over Indiana (8 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
2-Unit Play. Take #521 Philadelphia (-3) over Memphis (8 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
Let’s see if the players-only meeting jarred anything loose for the 76ers. I don’t think Philly is as good as everyone wants them to be. I also don’t think they are as bad as they have played. This would be a bigger play if the Sixers were at home tonight. But I still think they have enough to beat a banged-up Memphis squad.
2-Unit Play. Take #526 Golden State (-8.5) over Atlanta (10 p.m., Wednesday, November 20)
The Warriors have won three of four and look like a real contender through the season's first month. They let Klay walk in the offseason and brought in Buddy Heild who has been dynamite in all forms so far so Golden State is the real deal. They have a great chance to get another win in this one with the pesky Hawks in town, but they need to be ready to play the full 48 because Atlanta will be. Lay the number but this should be a good game for a while.
1-Unit Play. Take #527 Orlando (-3) over L.A. Clippers (10:40 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
Carpe diem. Good luck.

4-Unit Play. #527. Take Orlando Magic -3.5 over LA Clippers (Wednesday @ 10:40pm est)
We roll with the Magic here as without Banchero they continue to produce a fantastic run of wins as they have won 6 in a row. By the way, 3 straight cbb winners, let's try to make it 4 straight today as we are 11-5 to start the year and look to make it 12-5. Per this game, remember, Orlando just beat Phoenix by 10, beat Philadelphia by 12, Indiana by 4, Charlotte, Washington and Pelicans by double-digits. They have done with this a fantastic young coach and great defense not yielding a 100 points to any team over the last 6 games on this winning streak, simply remarkable. The Clippers come off a huge win against the Warriors and that makes back to back wins for them and I simply think this is a terrible matchup for this team as this is a team that also has the same defensive identity as them, but they are deeper, younger and more athletic which will be an issue for them. Love the Magic today. Be sure to check the daily video for the nba research on all the rest of the games today.

4-Units: #521 Philadelphia -3-110 over Memphis (Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 8:10 pm ET)
Take Philadelphia ATS as my top NBA pick for Wednesday night. This pick falls into one of my top NBA systems and they really like Philadelphia in this spot. I do expect Philadelphia to step up defensively here tonight and they should be able to dominate the boards. Philadelphia is this superior team in this matchup and I believe we are getting a very good line with them here tonight.
Scott Spreitzer
4-Unit Play: Take 521 76ers -3 over Grizzlies (8:10 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
This number started moving in Philadelphia’s direction late last night when Tyrese Maxey was upgraded. The Sixers also expect to have Joel Embiid on the floor tonight and I’m betting they snap their four-game skid. Philly has won just two games all season but here they are, a road favorite over a team with a +.500 record. Those who’ve followed me over the years know we’ve had success in these NBA spots. Memphis has a lot of injured bodies including Ja Morant and I’ll play against them tonight. I’m backing the 76ers. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
4-Unit Play - Take #528 Orlando Magic/Los Angeles Clippers u205.5 -110 (11/20 @ 10:30PM EST) This is a super low number based on today's defensive standard in the NBA, but the Magic and Clippers are actually putting in effort which we love to see. Los Angeles rank 6th best in adjusted defensive rating, while Orlando rank 2nd. It's also been needed as both have struggled on the offensive end for the most part; especially the Magic who rank 26th in adjusted offensive rating, and a huge reason for that has been the absence of Paolo Banchero. Both teams are a combined 19-11 to the under, and we think another one cashes here; especially considering the snail pace from Orlando the past 5 games which ranks 29th in overall pace per game, and per 100 possessions. This opened at 207 and has been bet down for good reason.

2-Unit Play. Take #521 Philadelphia (-3) over Memphis (8:10 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20)
Philly comes into this game off a big team meeting where Joel Embiid was called out by Tyrese Maxey. I like Philly to make a statement here. This isn't an awful team, and they will prove it tonight with a solid road win over an up-and-down Grizzlies team. Take the road favorite here.

7 Unit Play Take #521 Philadelphia -3 over Memphis (8:10pm est):
It's a great time to buy on the Philadelphia 76ers as they're at their low point coming into this game with a 2-11 record overall. This is still a very talented team that's desperate for a win. The Sixers held a team meeting to air out their differences after letting a 19 point lead slip away in their last contest. Philadelphia has also dealt with a ton of injuries early on this season but they're starting to get more healthy. On the other side of things Memphis is on the 2nd game of a back to back spot. The Grizzlies are dealing with some key injuries right now as well.
Play Philadelphia minus the points in this one.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

6 Unit Play - Take #520 Houston (-6.5) Over Indiana. (8:00p.m, Wednesday, November 20th)
Houston comes into this game 10-5 on the year, 7-3 in their last 10 games, and coming off a loss. Indiana is now 6-8 on the year, 5-5 in their last 10 games, and also coming off a loss. Houston is presently a strong 6-2 at home, while Indiana is a brutal 2-6 on the road. Houston is presently 3-1 ATS after a loss, 6-2 ATS at home, and dating back to last season, this club was an incredible 14-5-1 ATS as home favorites. Indiana has been struggling all season long, and they are also nursing injuries. Houston is rated 3rd in the NBA when it comes to defensive ratings, while Indiana is ranked 25th across defensive ratings. Houston is dominating the paint, ranking 1st in rebounds, 1st in offensive rebounds, and 5th when it comes to turnovers. Houston is playing very disciplined basketball right now, and I expect them to turn it on hard in tonight’s contest.
Take #520 Houston (-6.5) Over Indiana.
