Wednesday’s NBA slate on October 28 served up seven marquee matchups from tip-off to the late West Coast window. The card featured some compelling storylines, including a Battle of Los Angeles with the Clippers hosting the Lakers, the high-profile Thunder traveling to Dallas, and Minnesota looking to assert itself as a home favorite against Golden State. Spread picks ranged from modest one-point lines to comfortable multi-possession cushions, giving XO Sports a wide variety of angles to target across the full day.
XO Sports went 3-4 on its top picks for the day. The wins came from Indiana covering as a +6.5 underdog against Philadelphia, Toronto handling Orlando with a -4.5 spread cover, and Dallas staying within five points of Oklahoma City to cash the +5.5 ticket. On the flip side, Atlanta fell short against Miami despite the model’s confidence, New Orleans could not stay close enough to Denver, Minnesota covered the stat sheet but not the spread against Golden State, and the Clippers dropped a tough one to the Lakers after being favored by a point.
