Sunday’s NBA slate on October 26 served up six spread opportunities spanning the afternoon and evening windows. The card featured a mix of tight lines and wider cushions, from Minnesota catching 5.5 points against Cleveland to Chicago getting a generous 14.5 against Boston. Milwaukee and Indiana kept things close in the Midwest, while Charlotte looked to assert themselves as home favorites over Washington and Dallas traveled to Miami as a sizable underdog.
XO Sports finished a strong 4-2 on the day. Minnesota covered in Cleveland, Charlotte handled Washington comfortably by 8, and Dallas stayed within the number against Miami despite dropping the game. Milwaukee covered against Indiana by a slim margin, keeping that ticket alive. The two misses came from Chicago, who fell short of covering Boston’s blowout, and Atlanta, who couldn’t quite keep pace with Houston despite the 5.5-point cushion. Four winners in six picks made for a profitable Sunday on the hardwood.
