2024 NBA bets, lines and stats for Wednesday - ESPN

Wednesday night's NBA slate features 12 games, including a potential Western Conference playoff preview between the Phoenix Suns visit the Denver Nuggets. One particular bet from this game caught my attention. Let's take a closer look at it and the rest of my picks for Wednesday.

Devin Booker over 5.5 assists.

Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets serves as a significant test for Booker and the Suns. Securing a win will require a collective effort from Phoenix, especially in a tight Western Conference playoff race. Booker has surpassed this line in six of his past 10 games, averaging 11 potential assists per game over that span.

Jordan Poole over 15.5 points.

Poole hasn't had the season that bettors expected, but he's in a good spot against the Nets. He has surpassed 15.5 points in three of his past five games and averaged 16.4 field goal attempts and 30.9 minutes per game over that span. Poole also has a 27.1% usage rate of over the past 10 games.

Jalen Brunson over 6.5 assists.

Brunson should easily clear this line despite the Knicks being double-digit favorites over the Raptors. Brunson has eclipsed 6.5 assists in three of his past five games, averaging 12.4 potential assists per game over that span.

Desmond Bane over 19.5 points.

This is a great spot for Bane, who has cleared this line in 14 of his past 20 games. He faces a Los Angeles Lakers team that ranks 20th in points per game allowed to shooting guards and is playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Bane scored 24 points in his last game against the Lakers back on Jan. 5.

Anthony Davis under 23.5 points.
