First Pick: Clippers +5.5
Rundown: The Clippers enter tonight’s matchup having covered the spread in each of their last three games. The team's performance away from the Intuit Dome has been notably better than their play in Los Angeles, as they are 3-3 on the road compared to just 1-7 at home. The Magic are just 3-5 against the spread in home games and have struggled when listed as heavier favorites, covering only once in six opportunities when favored by 5 points or more. The Magic will be without a key piece tonight as starting power forward Paolo Banchero, who has averaged 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in 12 games this season, is sidelined with a groin injury. Look for Los Angeles to take advantage of Banchero’s absence and keep this game close.
Second Pick: Golden Knight Over 5.5 Goals
Rundown: The Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth come into tonight’s matchup averaging a combined 6.3 goals per game and 5.9 goals allowed per game. Utah enters tonight 13th in the NHL in goals scored while Vegas enters 16th in the league. The Golden Knights also have the league's fifth-best power-play conversion rate at just over 25%. Of Vegas’ 19 games, 10 have surpassed the 5.5 goal mark. 50% of Utah’s games have gone over 5.5 goals (10/20).
Third Pick: Texans +5.5
Rundown: Houston’s defense enters Thursday Night Football leading the NFL in scoring defense and total defense. The Texans enter week 12 ranking near the top of the league in rush and pass defense, as well as third down. The DeMeco Ryans led defense has generated takeaways, entering tonight with a +7 turnover differential while the Bills are just +1 in that category. The Bills roll into Houston with a strong 7-3 record, however they enter tonight just 3-5 against the spread as a favorite this season. Buffalo will be without playmakers Dalton Kincaid and Curtis Samuel, who are slated to be sidelined due to injury. Wide receiver Keon Coleman is a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week. The Texans relentless defense behind their home fans on a short week could lead to a tight, low scoring affair.
