Best Bet #1: DET PG Daniss Jenkins OVER 25.5 Points + Assists (-108) @ Orlando Magic
With Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, Daniss Jenkins has thrived as Detroit’s starting point guard, averaging 20.1 points and 8.0 assists over his last nine games. During that span, Jenkins has successfully cleared this 25.5 combined line seven times. The 24-year-old should be able to keep it going tonight against an Orlando defense that has struggled to contain opposing point guards this season, allowing 26.5 PPG and 8.6 APG to the position.

Best Bet #2: Denver Nuggets -8.5 (-114) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Nikola Jokic and company enter tonight on a tear. The Nuggets are 9-1 over their last ten games, just pushed their winning streak to eight with an overtime win over San Antonio, and have already beaten Portland twice this season, winning by a whopping average of 35 points (!). While the Blazers are riding a three-game winning streak, two of those wins came against the Wizards (17-61) and Pelicans (25-54). Portland is also missing key contributors in Jerami Grant (18.6 PPG) and Shaedon Sharpe (21.4 PPG). I’d be comfortable playing this up to -10 as Denver still has plenty of incentive as it vies for the third seed in the Western Conference.
