The NBA returns from its Election Day break with 14 games on Wednesday, a full ESPN doubleheader and a short-handed Thunder team hosting Cleveland in between. That’s a deep board for pick’em players. Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to claim $200 in bonuses and four free picks for Wednesday’s NBA slate.
The best way to use four free picks on a 14-game night is to spread them out. Here’s one player from each of the night’s top matchups.
Cunningham has grown into a legitimate MVP candidate, and Wednesday’s rematch with Philadelphia gives him a national stage. Detroit has been without Jalen Duren, which puts even more of the scoring and playmaking load on Cunningham’s shoulders. When the Pistons need a bucket late, the ball is in his hands.
The other side of the same game. Maxey is one of the most explosive scorers in the league, and LeBron James’ arrival gives him a second creator who can draw attention away from him. A road game against a contender with something to prove after the Oct. 25 meeting should push Philadelphia’s pace up, and that’s good news for Maxey’s scoring line.
Oklahoma City is down Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace, which leaves the reigning MVP carrying even more than usual. The Thunder are only 2.5-point favorites at home, and the total sits at 228.5. In a game priced that tight, expect Gilgeous-Alexander to take over late against a Cavaliers backcourt led by James Harden and Donovan Mitchell.
The reigning Rookie of the Year is taking on a bigger role in Year 2, and closing the ESPN doubleheader in San Antonio is the kind of spotlight young stars tend to answer. Flagg will be matched up against one of the league’s best defensive frontcourts, but his usage keeps climbing, and that tends to show up in his scoring.
