NBA 将在感恩节休战，这意味着周三晚上的比赛将是周二和周五 NBA 杯赛之间的唯一比赛。周三将有 14 场比赛，使其成为本赛季最繁忙的夜晚之一。这也是一个对流媒体球员需求较少的夜晚，因为大多数梦幻篮球经理都可以随意使用他们的整个阵容。

一些比赛立刻吸引了眼球。森林狼队对阵国王队；他们上次交锋是一场加时赛的经典之战，两队总共得到 256 分，其中两名球员合力砍下 96 分。贾伦·布伦森(Jalen Brunson)将回到达拉斯，代表他现在的尼克斯队对阵他的老东家。我们还将再次看到文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)对阵勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)的比赛，这在未来可能会被认为是“两个时代最佳球员的碰撞”的历史性时刻。雷霆队和勇士队将争夺西部联盟的榜首位置，这在赛季开始前很少有人会预料到。

以下是关于这个感恩节前夜赛程的梦幻流媒体球员和投注角度。

周三的流媒体球队

泰·杰罗姆(Ty Jerome)，克里夫兰骑士队（ESPN 联盟中 79.3% 可用）

杰罗姆最近在骑士队后场做出了巨大贡献。在过去的四场比赛中，两场首发和两场替补，他场均出场 27.8 分钟，得到 22.3 分、5.0 次助攻、3.8 个三分球、2.3 个篮板和 1.3 次抢断。随着卡里斯·勒维尔特(Caris LeVert)的缺阵，杰罗姆成为了骑士队重要的外线得分手和进攻创造者。

特雷·墨菲三世(Trey Murphy III)，新奥尔良鹈鹕队（68.6% 可用）

墨菲由于膝盖挫伤，周三能否出战成疑，谨慎起见，但他的表现如此出色，即使不考虑流媒体，他也应该被列入名单。在他从伤病中恢复的头几周里，他的数据稳步提高，在过去的两场比赛中，他场均得到 24 分、5 个篮板、4 次助攻和 3.5 次抢断。如果他周三出战，他应该会再次打出梦幻首发级别的水准。

另一方面，也请关注他的新队友 埃尔弗里德·佩顿(Elfrid Payton)（ESPN 联盟中 90.2% 可用） 。佩顿自 2022 年以来就离开了 NBA，但上周与鹈鹕队签约，并且到目前为止的三场比赛中都表现出色。他在上一场比赛中彻底爆发，送出 21 次助攻，并以 14 分和 7 个篮板接近三双。

以赛亚·斯图尔特(Isaiah Stewart)，底特律活塞队（75.0% 可用）

斯图尔特最近在防守端做出了巨大贡献，补充了他的梦幻篮球价值。他连续三场比赛和过去六场比赛中的五场都送出了多次盖帽，并且每晚都有两双的威胁。“牛肉炖肉”在过去的三场比赛中，场均替补出场 24.0 分钟，得到 9.7 分、7.0 个篮板、3.3 次盖帽、3.0 次助攻和 1.0 次抢断。

斯内林斯的当日投注

赔率来自 ESPN BET

拉梅洛·鲍尔(LaMelo Ball)得分超过 32.5 分 (-110)

鲍尔现在正处于 NBA Jam “He’s on fire!” 的模式中。在过去的三场比赛中，鲍尔场均得到 43.0 分，三场比赛得分均至少达到 35 分。鲍尔在此期间的投篮命中率很高，达到 48.4%，但更关键的是他的出手次数。在过去的三场比赛中，他场均出手 31.7 次，其中包括 14.0 次三分球出手，还有 9.7 次罚球。随着迈尔斯·布里奇斯(Miles Bridges)、特雷·曼恩(Tre Mann)和所有黄蜂队首发中锋的缺阵，鲍尔和布兰登·米勒(Brandon Miller)几乎每次进攻都承担了得分重任。周三，鲍尔将面对背靠背作战的热火队，他们在周二刚刚被另一位得分后卫达米安·利拉德(Damian Lillard)砍下 37 分。

科比·怀特(Coby White)得分超过 16.5 分 (-125)

这场比赛可能会出现几个高得分表现，所以怀特只是我在这场比赛中关注的多个得分道具中最吸引人的一个。怀特之所以获得青睐，是因为他的 16.5 分线对于像他这样的球员来说相当低，而且他的对位情况也很好。怀特本赛季场均得到 19.2 分，上赛季场均得到 19.1 分，并且在过去的 16 场比赛中有 12 场得分达到或超过 18 分。他将以控球后卫的身份对阵魔术队，魔术队场均让对手控球后卫得到 26.9 分，这是 NBA 中第三高的。

杰里德·麦凯恩(Jared McCain)得分超过 20.5 分 (-130)

乔尔·恩比德(Joel Embiid)将因膝伤缺席周三的比赛，这意味着麦凯恩和泰瑞斯·马克西(Tyrese Maxey)将再次被要求承担得分重任。麦凯恩已经证明自己非常擅长这个角色，在过去的八场比赛中，他场均得到 25.1 分。马克西在这八场比赛中的前七场得分都至少达到 20 分，他将在周三寻求反弹，因为他在上一场大胜中只在有限的出场时间内得到 18 分。麦凯恩将面对背靠背作战的火箭队，他们在周二进行了一场加时赛。

达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)得分超过 26.5 分 (-125)

福克斯在周一刚刚经历了本赛季最糟糕的得分表现，在对阵雷霆队的比赛中只得到 14 分。但周三的比赛条件对他来说非常有利，可以让他有一个强势的反弹。他将面对森林狼队，他在两周前与森林狼队的比赛中在类似的条件下砍下了 60 分。德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)将因背伤缺席周三的比赛，就像上次福克斯点燃森林狼队时一样。在本赛季德罗赞缺席的三场比赛中，福克斯场均得到 45.7 分，三场比赛得分都至少达到 28 分。

马刺 +2.5 对阵湖人 (-110)

这两支球队以截然相反的趋势进入这场比赛。湖人队已经连输三场，过去两场分别以 52 分的总分差输给了掘金队和太阳队。另一方面，马刺队已经取得了四连胜，对手实力强劲，包括战胜了西部战绩前二的雷霆队和勇士队。马刺队将在主场作战，并且得到了新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)对文班亚马的持续贡献，我预计他们至少会让这场比赛保持胶着，并且很有机会直接获胜。

以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因(Isaiah Hartenstein)总得分和篮板超过 22.5 (-110)

哈尔滕施泰因在他的雷霆队生涯中已经打了

两场比赛。在这两场比赛中，他都得到了两双，总得分和篮板都达到了 27，而且他仍在提升状态。他在复出的第一场比赛中替补出场，然后在第二场比赛中首发并首次出场超过 30 分钟。更重要的是，哈尔滕施泰因自复出以来一直充满活力，他将面对一支相对矮小的勇士队，勇士队让对手中锋场均抢下 17.0 个篮板，这是 NBA 中最高的。

Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Wednesday’s NBA slate

Image

The NBA will get Thanksgiving Day off, which means Wednesday night’s games will be the only action between the Tuesday and Friday NBA Cup outings. There will be a whopping 14 games on tap on Wednesday, making it one of the busiest nights of the season. This is also another night where there may be less need for streamers since most fantasy hoops managers will have their entire rosters at their disposal.

Some games immediately catch. The Timberwolves face off against the Kings; the last time they played was an overtime classic where the two teams combined for 256 points and two players combined to score 96 of those points. Jalen Brunson returns to Dallas for his current Knicks squad to face his former team. We get another Wemby vs. LeBron matchup, which could one day be considered historic in a “best players of two eras clashed” kind of way. And the Thunder and Warriors battle for the top spot in the Western Conference, a sentence very few people would’ve expected to read entering the season.

Here are the fantasy streamers and betting angles to know about for this Thanksgiving Eve slate.

Wednesday’s Stream Team

Ty Jerome, Cleveland Cavaliers (Available in 79.3% of ESPN leagues)

Jerome has been a huge contributor in the Cavaliers backcourt of late. In his past four games, two starts and two off the bench, he has averaged 22.3 PPG, 5.0 APG, 3.8 3PG, 2.3 RPG and 1.3 SPG in 27.8 MPG. With Caris LeVert out, Jerome is relied upon as an important perimeter scorer and offense creator for the Cavaliers.

Trey Murphy III, New Orleans Pelicans (68.6% available)

Murphy is questionable to play Wednesday with a knee contusion, to be cautious, but he’s playing so well he should be rostered in general, streaming aside. His numbers improved steadily in his first couple weeks back from injury, and in his past two outings he has averaged 24 PPG, 5 RPG, 4 APG and 3.5 SPG. If he does play on Wednesday, he should again produce viable fantasy starter caliber numbers.

On a side note, pay attention to his new teammate Elfrid Payton (available in 90.2% of ESPN leagues) as well. Payton had been out of the NBA since 2022, but signed with the Pels last week and has been effective in all three games so far. He outright detonated in his last outing, dishing 21 assists and flirting with a triple-double with 14 points and 7 rebounds to boot.

Isaiah Stewart, Detroit Pistons (75.0%)

Stewart has been making big contributions on defense of late to supplement his fantasy basketball value. He has multiple blocked shots in three straight games and five of his past six overall, and is a nightly double-double threat to boot. In his past three outings, “Beef Stew” has averaged 9.7 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 3.3 BPG, 3.0 APG, 1.0 SPG in 24.0 MPG off the bench.

Snellings’ bets for the day

Odds by ESPN BET

LaMelo Ball over 32.5 points (-110)

Ball is in an NBA Jam “He’s on fire!” mode right now. In his past three games, Ball has averaged 43.0 PPG, with at least 35 points scored in all three games. Ball is shooting well during that stretch, making 48.4% of his shots, but the bigger key is his volume. He has taken a whopping 31.7 shots, including 14.0 3-point attempts, with an additional 9.7 free throw attempts in his past three games. With Miles Bridges, Tre Mann and all of the Hornets’ starting centers sidelined, Ball and Brandon Miller have taken it upon themselves to score the ball almost every time down the court. On Wednesday, Ball will face a Heat team on the second half of a back-to-back that just got torched by another scoring point guard, Damian Lillard, for 37 points on Tuesday.

Coby White has averaged 18.8 PPG in his last 10 games. Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty ImagesCoby White over 16.5 points (-125)

This is a game that could produce several big scoring efforts, so White is just the most appealing of multiple points props I’m eyeing in this one. White gets the nod because his 16.5 point line is fairly low for a player like him, plus he has a good matchup. White is averaging 19.2 PPG this season after averaging 19.1 PPG last season, and he has scored 18 or more points in 12 of his past 16 games. He’ll be playing a lot of lead guard against a Magic squad that allows opposing point guards to score 26.9 PPG, the third-highest mark in the NBA.

Jared McCain over 20.5 points (-130)

Joel Embiid will sit out Wednesday’s game with a knee injury, which means McCain and Tyrese Maxey will be called upon to carry the scoring load again on Wednesday. McCain has proved elite at this role, averaging 25.1 PPG in his past eight outings. Maxey scored at least 20 points in the first seven of those games, and will look to bounce-back on Wednesday after managing “only” 18 points in short minutes of a blowout in his last outing. McCain will be facing a Rockets team on the second half of a back-to-back that played an overtime game on Tuesday.

De’Aaron Fox over 26.5 points (-125)

Fox is coming off his worst scoring effort of the season on Monday, managing only 14 points against the Thunder. But conditions are ripe for him to have a monster bounce-back effort on Wednesday. He’s facing a Timberwolves team that he torched for 60 points in their last outing two weeks ago under similar conditions. DeMar DeRozan will sit Wednesday with a back injury, the same way he sat the last time Fox lit up the TImberwolves. In the three games DeRozan has missed this season, Fox averaged 45.7 PPG with at least 28 points scored in all three outings.

Spurs +2.5 over Lakers (-110)

These two teams head into this matchup trending in opposite directions. The Lakers have lost three straight games, the past two of which by a combined 52 points to the Nuggets and Suns. The Spurs, on the other hand, have won four straight against strong competition, including victories over the top-2 teams in the West by record, the Thunder and Warriors. The Spurs are playing at home and getting consistent contributions from rookie Stephon Castle in support of Wembanyama, and I look for them to at least keep this matchup close with a good chance to win outright.

Isaiah Hartenstein over 22.5 total points and rebounds (-110)

Hartenstein has played two games in his Thunder career. He has double-doubles with 27 total points and rebounds in both games, and he’s still ramping up. He came off the bench in his first game back before starting and playing more than 30 minutes for the first time in his second game. More importantly, Hartenstein has played with visible energy and hop since his return, and will face a relatively undersized Warriors squad that allows opposing centers to grab a whopping 17.0 RPG, the highest mark in the NBA.
