It's one of the most closely matched games. 53% spread, 54% under.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks face off in a matchup with potential tension, as Karl-Anthony Towns returns to play against his former team, the Knicks, who traded him just before the season started. Meanwhile, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo may seek revenge against their former teammates. The Timberwolves come into the game with solid form, winning six of their last 10 games and holding an 8-4 home record. The Knicks, who bounced back from an NBA Cup upset with a win over the Orlando Magic, have a 16-10 record and rank 3rd in offensive rating since acquiring Towns.

Statistically, the Knicks average 116.4 points per game with a 49.7% field goal percentage, outperforming the Timberwolves’ 109.8 points per game and 45.9% field goal percentage. However, Minnesota has a slight edge in three-point shooting (39.4% vs 37.1%). The Knicks excel in ball control, with fewer turnovers (12.0 vs 15.1) and a better assist-to-turnover ratio (2.3 vs 1.6).

Predictions:

• Spread: Timberwolves -2.5 (favored to cover the spread due to home-court advantage and recent form)
• Total Points (Over/Under): Under 215.5 (likely to be a lower-scoring game despite the Knicks' offensive firepower).

Nets vs Cavs. Full analysis.

The Brooklyn Nets (10-15) face a daunting task as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers (22-4), one of the league's most dominant teams this season. The Nets have recently explored trade options for some of their veteran players, indicating a shift towards securing a high NBA Draft pick. Nonetheless, the season continues, and this matchup will test Brooklyn's resolve.

The Nets enter this game following a 135-119 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, which marked Dennis Schröder’s final game as their starting point guard. Schröder put up a respectable performance with 15 points and eight assists, while also defending head coach Jordi Fernández during a heated exchange with Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. However, the Nets will be without key players Cam Thomas (24.7 PPG) and Bojan Bogdanovic, significantly diminishing their offensive firepower and depth.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are coming off a 115-105 win over the Washington Wizards, where Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland combined for 44 points despite shooting struggles in the absence of Evan Mobley. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell leads the team with 23.6 PPG, and their superior scoring average (121.2) compared to Brooklyn’s (110.4) gives them a significant advantage. Additionally, the Cavaliers' rebounding edge, led by Jarrett Allen (10.4 RPG), and their better field goal percentage (50.3% vs. Brooklyn's 46.2%) could be decisive factors.

With an 8-3 road record and a deeper roster, the Cavaliers are well-positioned to cover the spread. However, Brooklyn’s 5-6 home record suggests they could make the game more competitive than anticipated.

8-5 Yesterday (/forum/nba-betting-22/ai-nba-12-15-103907993)

• Hornets vs. 76ers (PHI -3.5, Over 216.5): Both teams are struggling this season, but the 76ers are slight favorites to cover the spread due to their better two-point field goal percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio. Key players to watch are LaMelo Ball and Tyrese Maxey.

• Pistons vs. Heat (MIA -4.5, Over 219.5): The Heat, led by Tyler Herro, have stronger offensive and defensive stats than the Pistons. Detroit's home advantage might keep it close, but Miami is expected to cover the spread. The total points are likely to go over, given both teams' scoring averages.

• Raptors vs. Bulls (N/A due to LaVine status): The Bulls, led by Zach LaVine, are slightly favored, but his uncertain status makes this game unpredictable. The Raptors' home court and RJ Barrett's strong performance could make it competitive.

• Nets vs. Cavaliers (CLE -10.5, Over 216.5): The Nets, missing Cam Thomas and Bojan Bogdanovic, are at a significant disadvantage. The Cavaliers, led by Donovan Mitchell, are expected to dominate and cover the spread, with total points likely going over.

• Kings vs. Nuggets (DEN -1.5, Under 237.5): A close matchup between two balanced teams. The Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic, have a slight edge with better shooting and ball control, but the Kings' home court advantage could keep it tight. The total is likely to stay under.

• Clippers vs. Jazz (LAC -8.5, Over 222.5): The Clippers, strong at home, are favorites to cover the spread. Norman Powell leads their offense, while the Jazz, despite their struggles on the road, could challenge with their scoring. Expect a high-scoring game going over the total.

4-0.

104 points at halftime, the line is at 217, covered and time to sleep.

Since it's the NBA cup, we can expect a bit more defensive intensity compared to the regular season. Perhaps in the fourth quarter, there might be fewer points, longer possessions if a team has a lead, etc., which favor the under.

@Jt81

The Under for the Bucks is estimated at 53%, it's almost a coin flip. It's a game that could go over 240 if they hit their threes. For OKC vs HOU, the Under is estimated at 57%. Based on those percentages, the AI is correct in a little over 60 picks out of 100. In these kinds of games, the best play in my experience is to follow what the AI says.

The line is set at 232 points. Obviously, it won't be a defensive battle, and the game's total points will likely fall between 220 and 240. The AI has analyzed recent games, stats, injuries, the neutral-court factor of playing in Vegas, and the tendency for NBA Cup games to have lower-scoring totals.

Although the AI incorrectly uses the term 'defensive battle', the underlying concept is that both teams are more likely to favor an under rather than an over, especially OKC Houston
