Thunder (+7.5) vs. Pistons (-115)
No Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, no problem for the Thunder lately. The reigning NBA champions are proving they are more than a one-man band, going 6-3 while last year’s NBA MVP is out with a strained abdominal muscle. The Thunder are coming off a 116-107 win over the Raptors on Tuesday after defeating the Cavaliers, 121-113, on Sunday for back-to-back wins over top-five Eastern Conference teams. The top-seeded Pistons provide a tougher challenge, but given how the Thunder have played lately, the model certainly doesn’t project a lopsided contest. The Thunder cover in 65% of simulations.

Celtics (+140) to defeat the Nuggets
Denver has the rest advantage with the Celtics playing the second half of a back-to-back, but Boston had a relatively easy victory against the Suns, 97-81, resulting in no player needing to play more than 34 minutes. The Celtics have won four straight and are 9-1 over their last 10 games. They are 3-0 over the start of their West Coast road trip, with wins over the Warriors, Lakers and Suns. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are just 3-3 over their last six games and 3-6 over their last nine contests. Boston (38-19) has the second-best record in the NBA despite playing without Jayson Tatum (Achilles) all season, and the model projects another winning performance on Wednesday. The Celtics win in 55% of simulations, showcasing strong value at these odds. Back the Celtics at DraftKings here:
Navy (-7.5) vs. Loyola (-110)
“Navy has a four-game lead in the Patriot League, and they’ve covered 18 games on the season, which ranks sixth-best,” SportsLine expert Micah Roberts said. “Navy is 9-4 in away games, and they’ve covered five straight against Loyola-Maryland. Loyola is only 11-18 this season. Navy has won its last 11 ball games in a row while covering the last 10. Navy only allows 63.6 points per game, which ranks third nationally.” Back Navy at DraftKings here:
