We have NBA picks and predictions for Saturday, November 15th, which features the 76ers vs. Pistons, Lakers vs. Pelicans, and Warriors vs. Spurs.
Our picks include a best bet and NBA same game multi, and we’re looking forward to the NBA action this week.
76ers vs. Pistons Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Pistons are one of the form teams in the NBA following a win over the Bulls, and they’re out best bet to beat the 76ers.
Cade Cunningham has made a great start to the year, and he comes off a 46-point effort. That was a massive performance from their leader, and punters should expect another top effort from Cunningham on Saturday.
There is life with the 76ers, who scored a win over Boston. However, they aren’t as good on the road, and this could test them.
—
Same Game Multi
Cunningham has been in fine scoring form this season, and we expect that to continue against a 76ers defence that can leak points. 28.5 points is a fair line with NBA odds, so include him in picks.
However, Tyrese Maxey might not have the same performance. He is the 76ers’ leading scorer, but the pressure to keep up could be too much. We have him scoring around 25 points, so include him in NBA same game multis.
It will be an open contest, so over 232.5 should cash.

Lakers vs. Pelicans Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Lakers need to rebound after suffering a big loss to the Thunder, but facing the Pelicans is a nice palette cleanser.
The Pelicans have shown very little this season, losing their last three games, and we don’t see much upside with the struggling franchise. They scored only 98 points against the Suns earlier in the week, and that’s not good enough.
With Luka Doncic playing, the Lakers should have too much scoring. They have more depth than most teams, and they should win comfortably.

Same Game Multi
It pays to ride the hot players in the NBA, and Doncic is one of them. He might have had only 19 points against the Thunder, but Oklahoma City’s defence is much better than New Orleans. He scored 38 points against the Hornets, which is a more accurate guide.
We expect the Pelicans to throw up plenty of misses, which should allow Deandre Ayton to clean up the boards. Punters get $2.02 for Ayton to have over 8.5 rebounds, which is worth including in NBA SGM picks.
—
Warriors vs. Spurs Predictions
—
Best Bet
We backed the Spurs to cover the spread against the Warriors earlier in the week, and if it wasn’t for a poor second half, they looked good.
They should have made the adjustments needed to beat the Warriors on Saturday, and if Wemby has another big game, they should do it. He had 31 points in the loss, so he didn’t do much wrong when leading his team.
The line is only –2.5 after being –4.5 earlier in the week. Most of the support has come for Golden State, but take the home side to prevail.
—
Same Game Multi
We had Fox and Wembanyama scoring big totals in the first game, and there is no reason to jump off their backs. Wemby continues to put up insane numbers, and he’s on track to compete for the MVP title.
Fox made a good return from injury, and although he had only 13 points against the Warriors, we expect a nice effort with more fitness under his belt.
It should be another high-scoring contest, so include over 234.5 points.
