Today's Best Bets
Pat Spencer o24.5 PRA (-114) | Lucky Rebel
You know I love a good narrative and what better narrative than the Spencer Brothers going head to head tonight in the Bay. Pat Spencer is a former All-American Lacrosse Player, he was drafted #1 overall in the 2019 Premier League Lacrosse (PLL) Draft and instead he opted to go back to College and pursue a career in basketball.
Pat would spend some time in Germany playing for the Hamburg Towers, before making his return to the United States to play in the NBA's G-League. Spencer played for both G-League affiliates of the Wizards and Warriors, eventually signing a 2-way deal in December of 2025 with Golden State.
Spencer's now started six total games with the Warriors due to injuries to the roster and in those six games he's averaging: 14.5 points, 5.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. He's shooting 49.3% from the field in these games and 51.7% from beyong the arc.
Tonight Pat also happens to take on his little brother, Cam Spencer. Cam's also been playing more minutes with Memphis this year and in their two previous matchups has had the better game. Cam was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2024 draft, Pat went undrafted. Cam didn't play a ton of minutes in the previous two matchups but he did have double digit points in their game this year.
Pat barely played in that game, but tonight he comes in as the Warriors' starting PG. I'm all in on Pat.
Jonas Valančiūnas o12.5 P/R (-120)| Lucky Rebel
The Nuggets are really battling injuries. Jamal. Murray is questionable tonight with hip inflammation, Aaron Gordon remains out due to a hamstring injury and Peyton Watson's just been diagnosed with a strained hamstring (min. 4 weeks). The Nuggets will need all hands on deck going up against one of the best rebounding teams in the league and with two of their top four rebounders out of the game.
That's why I'm looking right at Jonas Valančiūnas. The Lithuatian big man has cleared this line in eight of his last nine games and four of his last five with Jokić in the lineup. Against Chicago Valančiūnas played just 13 minute but put up 10 points and 4 rebounds. He wasn't heavily utilized because of the Bulls' small ball lineup. That won't be the case tonight.
The Cavs are 9th in offensive rebounds rate this year and that's a place we've seen the Nuggets struggle. Denver ranks 22nd in opponent offensive rebound rate and the Cavs score the 8th most second chance points. If the Nuggets hope to minimize the second chance opportunities we'll need to see Valančiūnas on the floor tonight.
Anthony Black o24.5 PRA (+104) | Lucky Rebel
Franz Wagner makes his return to the Magic lineup today and excluding the two International Games, he's been out just over two months. Wagner played 27 and 26 minutes in those two games but it definitely felt like had these been regular game, he'd be held out.
In games without Wagner this year, Anthony Black has been the one to step up. He's averaging 18.3 points, 4.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds in these 25 games and he's cleared this line in 16 of the 25 games. Black's also cleared this line in four of his last six games and tonight the Magic face off with a Milwaukee Bucks squad that is just bad.
The Bucks rank 19th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 23rd in opponent free throw rate and 23rd in opponent 3-point percentage. Black might be coming off the bench tonight but he's been such a big part of this offense, I don't see it effecting his minutes.
Black's also shooting better at home this year, shooting 46% from the field and 36.8% from beyond the arc. He's also cleared this line in 10 of his L12 home game and tonight I'm predicting more of the same.
