Nuggets Look to Snap Losing Streak Against Struggling Pistons
The Denver Nuggets are looking to snap their four-game losing streak as they visit the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. The Nuggets have struggled on defense during this stretch, but they should be able to find some success against the Pistons, who rank 28th in adjusted net rating and defensive rating, as well as 27th in adjusted offensive rating. The Pistons will have Jaden Ivey back from health protocols, but they are still missing several key players. The Nuggets are favored by 11.5 points in this matchup, and with a projected spread of 13.5, I am taking Denver to cover.

Sacramento Kings Visit Brooklyn
The Sacramento Kings are on the tail end of a back-to-back as they visit the Brooklyn Nets, who have been led by the impressive play of Mikal Bridges. While there is no line set for this game yet, Bridges’ points prop is expected to be in the 25.5 to 26.5 range. If you liked his prop in the previous game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, they should consider taking it again against the Kings. Additionally, keep an eye out for the triple-double prop on Domantas Sabonis, who has been putting up impressive stat lines recently. The Nets are favored to win this game, but you may want to wait for prop bets before making any plays.
Best NBA Bet: Nets Moneyline (LEAN)
Thunder Look to Continue Impressive Play Against Raptors
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been playing better than expected this season, and they will look to continue their success against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. The Thunder are coming off an impressive win against the Nets and are led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams. The Raptors are favored to win this game by 6.5 points, but the Thunder have been playing much better than their record indicates.

Pacers Face Uphill Battle Against Healthy Bucks
The Indiana Pacers will face a difficult matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, who are currently 14-point favorites in this game. The Pacers are dealing with several injuries, making this game an uphill battle. The Bucks moneyline is the play here, but with an already high line, it may be best to avoid this game altogether.
