Anthony Davis 30+ Points/Los Angeles to Win (+165)
The Philadelphia 76ers are a mess right now, as they just got Paul George back into the lineup. Tyrese Maxey is out for the next few weeks with a hamstring injury, while Joel Embiid is half suspended and half "injured." I don't think they stand a chance against the Los Angeles Lakers, who are playing solid basketball. I especially don't know how they'll slow down Anthony Davis with Andre Drummond. AD is playing at an MVP level, averaging 32.6 points. With a +165 player performance double, we'll look for Davis to drop 30 in a win tonight.

Cade Cunningham 25+ Points/Detroit to Win (+200)
The Detroit Pistons are still linked to their disastrous 2023-24 campaign, but this year's squad is more competitive and won't be a bottom-feeder. We like them to pull off the home win against the Atlanta Hawks at nearly even money. Look for Cade Cunningham to power their success, as he's been playing at an all-star level. He's averaging just 22.9 points through nine games this season, and it will be tough for the Hawks to match up with him defensively. Trae Young certainly can't. Last year, Cade had a season-high 43 points against the Hawks, so we'll look for him to break the 30-point mark tonight.
Darius Garland 8+ Assists/Cleveland to Win (+200)
The Cleveland Cavaliers are sitting pretty on a 9-0 record as the best team in basketball. They'll have another chance to prove their elite status tonight against the surging Golden State Warriors. I trust the Cavs to defend their home court and pull out the win as a 4.5-point favorite. We'll look to Darius Garland to dish out eight assists in the winning effort. He's done so in three straight games, and tonight's game could be a track meet. At +200, the value is too good for me to pass up.
Luka Doncic 30+ Points/Dallas to Win (+155)
We don't have to explain too much why we trust Luka Doncic to drop 30 points because he can do it whenever he feels like it. Still, he's already had a 40-point outing against the Phoenix Suns this season. That game was a loss, making tonight a prime revenge spot for Dallas. At +155, this is a must bet!
Jalen Williams 20+ Points/Oklahoma City Thunder (+130)
Jalen Williams has played some impressive basketball out of the gate for the Oklahoma City Thunder, dropping at least 20 points in five of his last seven games. The Thunder suffered their first loss of the season the other night in heartbreaking fashion. We expected to see them play extra motivated tonight as the Houston Rockets come to town. Williams dropped at least 20 points in his final three games against the Rockets last season. At +130, I love the price I'm getting here.
Nikola Jokic Triple Double/Denver to Win (+200)
Nikola Jokic is again filling up stat sheets on a nightly basis, averaging 28.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 11.0 assists per game. He has four triple-doubles on the season, so we'll look for him to make that five tonight as his Denver Nuggets will host the Miami Heat. At +200, Jokic is more than worthy of your trust.
