Free Expert Picks for Wednesday, Nov. 9
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday are out for the Bucks. Bobby Portis' props are too inflated to bet with confidence. Allen has a 31.5 USG% with Giannis and Holiday off the floor. Chris Paul and Cameron Johnson are injured for Phoenix. Payne has 19.6 shots and 6. 6 assists per 36 minutes with them off.
Williamson has been dominant on the scoreboard early in the season, topping 20 points in six of his eight appearances. He hasn't had the same consistency on rebounds, though, and he's topped 7.5 rebounds just three times to begin the year. The Bulls defense is tied for 12th in rebounds allowed against power forwards.
Pascal Siakam is injured for the Raptors. They play against a struggling Rockets team.
Carter should be looking at a potential 30-plus-minute role tonight. Nick Whalen likes Carter's chances to get there.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis are likely to play, but Kawhi Leonard remains out. The Lakers are 26th in scoring with 108.4 points per game, and the Clippers are 30th with 103.8.
