Fontaine's 5 NBA Thanksgiving Eve Locks (November 27, 2024)

Thanksgiving Eve brings a loaded NBA slate, and we've zeroed in on our top plays to help you lock in the cash before the holiday. Here are Fontaine's 5 must-plays with three locks to headline your betting card:

1. Atlanta Hawks +12.5 (Spread Betting)

• Game: Atlanta Hawks @ Cleveland Cavaliers

• Time: 6:10 PM CT

• Why We Love It: The Hawks are coming in as major underdogs, but +12.5 gives plenty of breathing room. Cleveland may be dominating the season so far, but Atlanta has shown grit, and this spread is too juicy to pass up. Look for Trae Young to keep the Hawks within range.

2. Scotty Pippen Jr. Over 5.5 Assists

• Game: Detroit Pistons @ Memphis Grizzlies

• Time: 7:10 PM CT

• Why We Love It: Scotty Pippen Jr. has been a low-key assist machine recently, and this line feels undervalued against a Detroit Pistons team that struggles defensively. Expect plenty of opportunities for Pippen Jr. to dish out assists, especially in a fast-paced matchup.

3. Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple-Double (+110)

• Game: Denver Nuggets @ Utah Jazz

• Time: 8:10 PM CT

• Why We Love It: Any time Nikola Jokic's triple-double odds are in plus money, it's a must-play. The reigning MVP faces a Jazz team that doesn’t have the defensive chops to handle his versatile game. Jokic's all-around brilliance is likely to shine once again in this contest.
