The players with the highest over/unders for the night are Giannis Antetokounmpo (31.5 points), Rudy Gobert (14.5 rebounds), and James Harden and Trae Young (9.5 assists).
Pick #1: James Harden Over 22.5 Points
Philadelphia is one-point favorites for their game in Toronto on Wednesday night. The Sixers claimed their first win of the year against the Indiana Pacers last time out. It has been a slow start to the year for Philly, but there is a great deal of positivity to take from the performances of James Harden, who has looked considerably sharper than he did during the postseason.

Harden is averaging 27, nine and 10 through four games, with an increase in his touches per game. The former MVP is second in the NBA with 97.8 touches per contest in 2022-23, after being at 91.3 last season. Being so ball dominant might not be best for the team in the long run, but for now, it is useful for bettors when it comes to backing Harden’s overs.
In three of his four games, Harden has cruised past this points line, scoring 29, 31 and 35. His other appearance was a 12-point outing against the Spurs. Even facing a challenging Raptors defense, watch for Harden to attack the paint and fire frequently from deep.

This number is simply too low given Harden’s performances to start the season — this is a definite over.
Pick: James Harden over 22.5 points (-118)
Pick #2: Jaden Ivey Over 23.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists
On the second night of a back-to-back after a loss to the Wizards, Detroit is seven-point underdogs for their matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons’ high-upside backcourt meets another star guard combination in Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.
Jaden Ivey is an exciting, raw talent. Electric up and down the court, Ivey can capitalize on a Hawks defense which has a tendency to be sloppy defending in transition. He should also get opportunities to go at Young, with the length of Murray and De’Andre Hunter needed on Cunningham.

— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) October 25, 2022
What we have seen from Ivey in his first four NBA games is impressive. This line of 23.5 points, rebounds and assists has been passed in three of four, with impressive playmaking exhibited. He has averaged 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists to go with natural scoring ability and a willingness to shoot from beyond the arc.
Atlanta is in the bottom seven in rebounding rate, and allowed over 125 points to the Hornets last time out. This game should be played at a good pace, creating extra possessions for Ivey to put up numbers.
Pick: Jaden Ivey over 23.5 points, rebounds and assists (-113)
