Best bets for Thursday, January 15
The biggest game of Thursday's NBA slate has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander clashing with Kevin Durant as the Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Houston Rockets. OKC is once again in first place in the Western Conference, while Houston is sixth. The Thunder have won four straight, with the most recent victory coming over the San Antonio Spurs, while the Rockets snapped a three-game skid with a win over the Chicago Bulls. Gilgeous-Alexander is the betting favorite to win a second straight MVP award. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has Houston covering 68% of the time.
Things have not gone to plan for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are sixth in the Atlantic Division. Things could get even tougher on Thursday when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights, leaders of the Pacific Division. Toronto star Auston Mathews has just 37 points on the season, and while William Nylander has performed well enough with 46, the Leafs need much more to compete. Jack Eichel has been dangerous for Vegas with 51 points. Toronto covers in 74% of the simulations.
