Best NBA Bets for Saturday, November 22, 2025

Washington Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls: Over 243.5 total points, -110 @ BetRivers

The Wizards and the Bulls are two of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, so it wouldn't be surprising if this game ended up being a high-scoring matchup. The last few games for the Bulls have been the case, as the previous four have ended with at least 243 points, and they're coming off allowing 143 points to the Heat on Friday. The Wizards, who have won just one game so far and sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 1-14 record, haven't fared much better defensively. They allowed 140 points in a 140-110 loss to the Rockets on Friday, meaning this is also the second leg of a back-to-back set for them, and they're on a run of at least 129 points in four of their last five contests. With both teams' legs tired and defenses struggling, all signs point to another high-scoring matchup.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks: Cooper Flagg to score over 17.5 points, -104 @ DraftKings

Flagg had one of his best performances of the season Friday, as the highly-touted rookie delivered the best scoring output of his young NBA career in a 118-115 win over the Pelicans after notching 29 points (12-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT). Flagg has scored over 20 points in three of his last six games, and he's trending in the right direction after going through some ups and downs earlier in the season. He's cleared the 17.5-point mark six times already, and even though he might not hover around the 30-point mark on a steady basis -- at least not yet -- he's good enough to move around the 20-point plateau with more frequency. Especially considering how depleted the Mavericks are, it wouldn't be surprising if Flagg were asked to handle a bigger role on offense going forward, or as long as the likes of Anthony Davis (calf) and Kyrie Irving (knee) remain sidelined. The matchup is favorable as well, as the Grizzlies are 5-11 on the season and have dropped eight of their last 10 games.

Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Cade Cunningham to make over 2.5 three-pointers, +148 @ FanDuel

Cunningham is shooting a career-worst 27.5 percent from three-point range while averaging a career-high 6.7 attempts per game. The star floor general is too good to continue struggling from beyond the arc as much as he's done this season. He went 1-for-7 from deep against the Hawks on Tuesday, and before missing three games with a hip injury, he had gone 2-for-11 against the Wizards. Cunningham has made at least two threes in seven of his 12 appearances this season and has hit at least three in three different games already, so he's capable of hitting this line. He has the upper hand in the defensive matchup against Ryan Rollins as well, so don't be surprised if Cunningham shakes off his three-point rust in this game. He had shot at least 35.5 percent from deep in his previous two seasons, so his numbers should improve as the season progresses.
