If you’re BETTING on the NBA on Saturday (November 30th), here’s EVERYTHING you need to know for each game:

Hawks @ Hornets

Back to back for both. Trae Young has been so unselfish lately. He had 21 and 11 yesterday vs CLE. He has 11+ assists in 6 straight games. Jalen Johnson has 20+ points in 5 of his last 7 games. He’s up to 10 rebounds per game but has under 10 in last two games. De’Andre Hunter has 23 and 26 points in his last 2 games. Bogdan had just 10 points yesterday after having 16+ in 3 straight. He shot just 4/11.

Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball, and Tre Mann all questionable for the game after missing yesterday vs the Knicks. Brandon Miller has 20+ points in 6 of his last 7 but he struggled as the #1 option yesterday shooting 7/25. Diabate has 8+ rebounds in 5 straight games.

Based on last 7 games. Hawks allowing 2nd most points and threes to SGs (Miller). Hornets allowing 4th most threes to SGs (Bogdan). Hawks allowing 3rd most threes to SFs (Green). Hornets allowing most points and 2nd most threes to PFs (Johnson). Hawks allowing 7th most rebounds to centers (Diabate). Hornets allowing 6th fewest points and 4th fewest rebounds to centers (Capela).

76ers @ Pistons

Paul George and Caleb Martin questionable while Embiid and Lowry OUT. McCain had 7 straight 20+ games but has scored 15 and 18 in his last 2 games. Maxey scored 39 points and 10 assists last game vs HOU with 6 threes. He hadn’t played 30+ minutes since returning from injury but then played 45 minutes vs HOU. Safe to say his restriction is gone. Yabusele had 22 points last game with 4 threes made. Drummond has gone under 10 rebounds in 7 straight despite having multiple starts with Embiid out.

Cade Cunningham returned after missing the last 3 games. He had 24/6/11 vs IND last night. He averages 23.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.9 assists on the season. Ivey had 23 points last night with 6 assists. Malik Beasley scored 25 points vs IND and hit 5 threes. He had a 5 game stretch of 20+ points but then went 4 games under 20 to then putting up 25 vs IND. Duren had 14 points and 12 rebounds last night. He has 10+ rebounds in 4 of his last 7 games.

Based on last 7 games. Pistons allowing 5th fewest points and 8th fewest assists to PGs (Maxey). 76ers allowing 6th fewest assists to PGs (Cunningham). 76ers allowing 3rd most assists to SGs (Ivey). Pistons allowing 2nd most threes to SFs (George/Yabusele).

Wizards @ Bucks

Jordan Poole missed 2 games and returned against the Clippers to score just 8 points on 1/7 shooting in 24 minutes. Alex Sarr has 13+ in 4 of his last 7 games. Coulibaly has under 13 points in 5 of his last 7 games. Kuzma is OUT. Not sure what they’ll do but I could see the Wizards starting Jonas at the 5 and Sarr at the 4 since Kuzma is OUT. They’ve done it this season already.

Giannis has scored 32+ points in 3 straight and in 4 of his last 7. Dame has scored 31+ in 2 straight including a 37 point and 12 assist game last game without Giannis vs MIA. He has 10+ assists in 4 of his last 5 since returning from a concussion. Portis has 7+ rebounds in 4 of his last 7 games. He’s scored 13 or less in 4 of his last 5 games. Gary Trent Jr had 3+ threes in 4 straight until scoring just 2 points and going 0/4 from three vs the Heat.

Based on last 7 games. Bucks allowing 2nd most points and 5th most threes to PGs (Brogdon). Wizards allowing 9th most assists and 2nd most threes to PGs (Lillard). Wizards allowing 6th most points and most rebounds to centers (Lopez). Bucks allowing fewest points and rebounds to centers (Sarr).

Warriors @ Suns

Curry and Wiggins are questionable. Curry is under 25 points in 4 of his last 7 games. Mostly due to the fact that Wiggins has scored 20+ in 4 of his last 6 games. Hield had more than 15 points for the first time in 6 games vs OKC last game. Draymond had a double double with 13 rebounds vs the Thunder. He has 6+ rebounds in 8 straight games. Kuminga missed two games and then had 19 points last game after dealing with an illness. He took 21 shots and only went 8/21.

Bradley Beal is questionable. Booker has scored 25+ in 4 of his last 5 games, including a 31, 33, and 44 point game. Durant had 30 points last game vs the Nets shooting 10/18. Tyus Jones had a double double with 10 points and 12 assists. He’s done that in 3 of his last 5 games. Royce O’Neale has scored under 10 points in 5 of his last 7.

Based on last 7 games. Suns allowing 4th most points to PGs (Curry). Warriors allowing most assists but 4th fewest points to PGs (Jones). Suns allowing 7th fewest points to SGs (Hield). Suns allowing 3rd fewest points but 3rd most rebounds to SFs (Wiggins). Suns allowing 2nd most points and assists but 7th fewest rebounds to PFs (Green). Warriors allowing 5th most points and 6th most rebounds to PFs (Durant). Warriors allowing 3rd most rebounds to centers (Nurkic).

Mavs @ Jazz

Luka likely OUT. Klay Thompson also ruled out early. Kyrie has gone over his season average in 2 of the last 4 games without Luka. He has 6+ assists in 7 straight games. PJ Washington has 4 straight games of 10+ rebounds. He has 19+ in 3 of the last 4 games without Luka. Naji Marshall has 20+ points in 4 games straight. Spencer Dinwiddie has 20+ points in 2 straight.

Sexton has 18+ in 6 of his last 7 games, while he averages 17 on the season. Kessler had 16 and 12 last game without Collins and Markkanen.

Based on last 7 games. Mavs allowing 5th most points to PGs (George). Mavs allowing 8th fewest points and 2nd fewest threes to SGs (Sexton). Mavs allowing 6th fewest points to SFs (Markkanen). Jazz allowing 5th most threes to SFs (Marshall). Jazz allowing 7th fewest points and 2nd fewest rebounds to PFs (Washington). Mavs allowing 6th fewest points to PFs (Collins).
