NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Victor Wembanyama to go Under his 24.5 points prop:

"The Spurs are playing its third game in four days and the fourth game in six days, so Wemby has to be gassed. Victor Wembanyama had a career-high 50 points against the Wizards and followed up with 28 against the Lakers last night.

While Dallas isn't known for its defense, fatigue should factor into a tougher shooting night for Wemby and the rotating defense of centers Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford give Wemby no time to relax. I like Wemby Under 24.5 Points."

Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Mavericks and the Spurs:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Dallas on the ML (-520)

· Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Dallas -10.5 on the spread

· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 229.5 points
