There are 11 games on tonight’s NBA slate. Therefore, I asked the AI Model for its best bets to earn some profit. After looking through all the data, here are three bets that stood out to me, with the best NBA odds from the top sportsbooks.
Picks Summary
- Lakers -6.5 (-110) at Bet365
- Timberwolves-Trail Blazers Over 220.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook
- Kings -7.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook
Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Wednesday, November 13, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at crypto.com Arena
The AI Model believes the Lakers will earn a 120-112 win over the Grizzlies tonight. The Lakers are only -6.5 via Bet365, giving them plenty of value in tonight’s showdown.
Laundry List Of Injuries For Memphis
The Memphis Grizzlies are 7-4 and have a really good team this year. They just need to stay healthy.
Tonight, the Grizzlies won’t have Desmond Bane and Ja Morant. It’s also unclear if they’ll have Brandon Clarke, Marcus Smart, and Vince Williams, as all three are questionable.
The Grizzlies should be able to get some open looks. However, don’t expect Memphis to see the foul line as often as they have in previous games. The Lakers are very good at preventing foul-shot attempts.
Anthony Davis Is Good To Go
The Lakers didn’t have Anthony Davis for most of Sunday’s second half due to an eye injury. But after multiple days of rest, Davis intends to play in tonight’s game against the Grizzlies.
The Lakers have won two consecutive games and have scored at least 116 points in both. They’ll easily win the foul-shooting battle, which should get them ahead of the Grizzlies in this game.
Grab the Lakers at home at -6.5.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Wednesday, November 13, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at Moda Center
Our AI Model thinks the Blazers and Timberwolves will combine for 222 points. However, Caesars’s total is currently 220.5. That means the over 220.5 is the play tonight.
Portland Added 122 Last Night
The Portland Trail Blazers scored 122 points in a win against the Timberwolves last night. They’ll play Minnesota again tonight in the second game of a back-to-back.
Portland might’ve lost Afernee Simons for a little bit. He left yesterday and didn’t return due to an injury. Still, Portland got double figures from four players off the bench, including Robert Williams III’s 19 points and nine rebounds.
Portland showed off some depth we hadn’t seen at the beginning of the year.
Minnesota Should Respond After Yesterday’s Loss
The Timberwolves only scored 108 points, but those 108 points still helped the Blazers and Timberwolves surpass the total.
The Timberwolves have an above-average offense that has shot a 57.3% effective field goal percentage. Minnesota will likely continue to add offensive rebounds at a high rate and get to the foul line relatively easily against Portland.
I’ll take the Over in this game. Thank the AI Model for pointing it out.

Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings
Wednesday, November 13, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at Golden 1 Center
The AI Model suggests the Sacramento Kings will add a 117-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The Suns are 9-2 but don’t have Kevin Durant or Jusuf Nurkic now. Therefore, consider the Kings at -7.5 at Caesars.
The Suns Already Lost To The Kings
The Phoenix Suns might be 9-2, but one of their two losses came against the Kings at home in overtime.
The Suns are currently without Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic and have listed Bradley Beal as questionable.
Additionally, the Suns have scored 115.1 points per 100 possessions. They’re shooting a good effective field goal percentage but have been weak on the offensive glass, earning only 22.5% of offensive rebounds.
While the Suns also limit turnovers and get to the foul line well, the Kings are typically even better at forcing turnovers and keeping teams off the foul line.
Kings Should Win Turnover Battle
The Sacramento Kings have scored more points per 100 possessions. They’ve also turned the ball over just 12.7% of the time and have been getting to the foul line slightly more. Sacramento won’t have much more success on the offensive glass, but it’s reasonable to expect more rebounds from the Kings on both sides of the ball.
With all of the uncertainties with the Suns, I’ll take the Kings at -7.5.
