  • T.J. McConnell – Recorded 4+ assists in 8 of the Pacers’ last 9 games.
  • Russell Westbrook – Recorded 8+ assists in each of the Kings’ last 4 road games.

  • DeMar DeRozan – Recorded 4+ rebounds in each of the Kings’ last 7 road games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • Zach LaVine – Recorded 4+ rebounds in 9 of his last 10 road appearances against the Pacers.
  • Bennedict Mathurin – Recorded 6+ rebounds in 3 of his last 4 appearances against Western opponents.

Indiana welcomes Sacramento to Gainbridge Fieldhouse with some confidence after sweeping last season’s series, including a tight 111-109 win here. The Pacers are coming off one of their better performances, upsetting Chicago 120-105 behind Pascal Siakam’s 36 points, 10 rebounds and 5 triples, with Bennedict Mathurin adding 28. Despite that, Indiana is just 1-10 in its last 11 games against Western teams, an area they’re still trying to clean up.

Sacramento arrives off a statement win of its own, blowing past Miami 127-111 on the road. Zach LaVine led the way with 42 points and 8 triples, and the Kings are now 5-0 when he scores 35 or more. Keegan Murray and Dennis Schroder are both questionable, which could shape the rotation and late-game looks.

  • Naz Reid – Made 3+ three-pointers in each of the Timberwolves’ last 4 games.
  • Anthony Edwards – Recorded 4+ assists in each of the Timberwolves’ last 10 games against the Suns.
  • Grayson Allen – Recorded 4+ assists in 4 of his last 5 appearances after playing fewer than 30 minutes in the Suns’ previous game.
  • Mark Williams – Scored 10+ points in each of his last 12 road appearances against teams that held a winning record.
  • Naz Reid – Scored 15+ points in each of the Timberwolves’ last 4 games.
  • Anthony Edwards – Scored 30+ points in each of the Timberwolves’ last 4 games against teams that held a winning record.
  • Julius Randle – Scored 25+ points in each of his last 4 home appearances against the Suns.
  • Royce O’Neale – Recorded 4+ rebounds in 10 of the Suns’ last 11 road games.
  • Julius Randle – Recorded 6+ rebounds in each of the Timberwolves’ last 4 home games against teams that held a winning record.
  • Naz Reid – Recorded 4+ rebounds in each of the Timberwolves’ last 14 home games.
  • Rudy Gobert – Recorded 10+ rebounds in each of his last 3 appearances with the Timberwolves as favourites against the Suns.

Minnesota heads back to Target Center riding serious momentum after rallying from 18 down to beat the Clippers 109-106. Jaden McDaniels led the way with 27 points on an ultra-efficient 10-13 shooting night, and that win pushed the Timberwolves’ streak to five straight. Home court has treated them well in this matchup too, with Phoenix dropping four straight road games in Minnesota, a trend the Wolves will look to lean into again.

Phoenix comes in trying to steady things after a rough 117-98 loss to Houston, a game played without Devin Booker. The Suns have struggled badly in those spots, going 1-8 in their last nine games without him, and his absence continues to loom large on offense. Booker remains out here, and Dillon Brooks is questionable, leaving Phoenix needing cleaner execution and defensive energy just to keep pace.

  • The Pelicans have lost each of their last 16 games against Western opponents that held a winning record.

  • Saddiq Bey – Recorded 6+ rebounds in 8 of his last 9 home appearances.
  • Yves Missi – Recorded 6+ rebounds in each of his last 5 appearances.
  • Keldon Johnson – Recorded 6+ rebounds in each of the Spurs’ last 7 games against Western opponents.
  • Trey Murphy III – Recorded 4+ rebounds in 20 of his last 21 home appearances against Western opponents.
  • Julian Champagnie – Recorded 4+ rebounds in each of the Spurs’ last 10 road games against Western opponents.

San Antonio has had New Orleans’ number all season, winning both meetings so far and doing it in different buildings. Even with Victor Wembanyama sidelined now, he was dominant earlier in the series, averaging 23.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 6.0 blocks across those games. The Spurs come off a 130-117 loss in Cleveland, but the offense still showed with Devin Vassell scoring 28 and De’Aaron Fox adding 25 points and 9 assists. They’ve also won eight straight against division opponents, which matters here.

New Orleans continues to struggle without Zion Williamson, and the trend isn’t improving. The Pelicans fell 119-101 in Brooklyn last time out and are now 0-11 without Zion this season. Trey Murphy III led the way with 23 points, but scoring depth and defensive consistency remain issues. With Williamson still out, New Orleans is again leaning heavily on Murphy and role players just to stay competitive.

PICK – SAN ANTONIO -9.5
