This article is part of our NBA Picks series. DraftKings, 2:23 PM CT Alex Barutha: These picks are based on teammate injuries. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday are out for the Bucks. I think Bobby Portis' props (20.5 points, 14.5 rebounds) are too inflated to bet with confidence, so I'm pivoting to Allen. He has a 31.5 USG% with Giannis…

This article is part of our NBA Picks series. FanDuel, 4:21 PM CT Karl-Anthony Towns is out, which will put much more playmaking burden on Anthony Edwards. With Towns off the floor this season, Edwards sees a 6.9% usage bump and averages 28.8 points on 20.0 shots per 36 minutes. The Grizzlies' defense isn't great this season, so I think he'll seize…

This article is part of our NBA Picks series. BetMGM, 3:06 PM CT Alex Barutha: Per our Defense vs. Position metrics, Houston is one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending point guards. This game also has a bloated 236.5 total, so there should be plenty of possessions for Haliburton to rack up stats. He's one of the safest bets in general, as he…

But, I think the adrenaline will wear off on the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday, and it'll become clear exactly how shorthanded the Sixers are. The…

This article is part of our NBA Picks series. BetMGM, 4:21 PM CT Alex Barutha: Nikola Jokic being out opens up immense usage on Denver. I expect Murray to take more shots than usual. With Jokic off the floor, Murray averages 23.6 shots per 36 minutes and has a 37.5 USG%. Don't yet have a BetMGM account? Use our BetMGM Bonus Code! DraftKings…

This article is part of our NBA Picks series. FanDuel, 3:16 PM CT Alex Barutha: A lot factors into this one. De'Aaron Fox is out. That opens up more usage for Huerter -- 5.2 USG% increase; +1.6 3PA per 36 minutes with Fox off the court. He's already making 4.2 threes per game on 7.8 attempts. Miami also allows the second-most made threes (14.6) in…
