Rockets vs. Suns prediction: Over 223.5 (-108)

These are two of the top three Over teams in the league, with their games a combined 11-5 to the Over this season. The Suns' defense has been dreadful, with the NBA's second-worst defensive rating. Look for a Rockets team that now has an elite offense to score at will against that unit.

Phoenix should contribute plenty to the scoring as well, as the Suns are averaging 122.2 points per home game this season. I bet a half-unit on the Over at FanDuel's -108 odds, but there's value paying up to -115 at that total.

Nuggets vs. Pacers prediction: Nuggets -7.5 (-105)

This game is being played in Mexico City at a very high altitude, giving the Nuggets a distinct advantage in this neutral-site matchup. Denver has by far the highest altitude of any NBA city, meaning their players are much more accustomed to playing in those conditions than the Pacers.

Indiana has lost their last four games played in Denver by at least eight points, giving us a sense of what to expect in Mexico City today. I don't see the Pacers keeping up without Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell, so I'm betting on the Nuggets to win and cover.

Magic vs. Warriors prediction: Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-point FG (+126)

Steph Curry has been on fire from long range, especially at the Chase Center. The greatest shooter of all time is averaging 5.5 3-point makes at home this season. He enters Saturday's matchup against the Magic with four straight Overs on this total overall.

Orlando will have an extremely difficult task of slowing down Curry without the injured Jalen Suggs, one of the NBA's premier on-ball defenders at guard. I love taking the Over here at any plus-money odds, with FanDuel offering the top value among the best sports betting sites at +126.
