Sunday’s NBA action features a loaded eight-game slate, and there are a bunch of teams that I’m looking to back.
One of my favorite bets of the night is for the San Antonio Spurs-Minnesota Timberwolves matchup, as there are a couple of intriguing against the spread trends on both sides.
Plus, I’m looking at a player prop in the first game of the day – the Houston Rockets vs. the Utah Jazz – as there might potentially be a rockets guard that is undervalued.
And, what’s a Sunday slate without a little moneyline action? There are three teams that I’m betting on to win to win as sizable favorites on Nov. 30.
Hear’s a complete breakdown of each of my best bets for the final day in November!

3-Team Moneyline Parlay (-147)
OKC is 5-5 against the spread on the road, but it has posted an average scoring margin of +15.4 points in those games. With Williams back, I expect the Thunder to take advantage of this Portland defense that has struggled early on this season, ranking 22nd in the league in defensive rating.
The Thunder shoudl improve to 20-1 on Sunday night.
Los Angeles Lakers
Even with LeBron James listed as questionable on Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers should make swift work of the New Orleans Pelicans.
New Orleans is 3-17 this season, 1-8 on the road and 1-9 in its last 10 games, losing to the Lakers by 14 earlier this season at home.
Now, Los Angeles is at Crypto.com Arena, where it has been dominant in the 2025-26 season, going 6-2 overall. The Lakers have won six straight games heading into this matchup, and I think they can win with margin, as they’ve posted a 6-2 against the spread record at home this season.
New Orleans ranks 27th in net rating, 27th in offensive rating and 25th in defensive rating this season while L.A. has the second-best record in the West. Don’t overthink this matchup on Sunday.
Reed Sheppard OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made (-129)
Houston Rockets guard Reed Sheppard has silenced a lot of critics early on in the 2025-26 season, averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Sheppard may have a little smaller of an offensive role on sunday with Kevin Durant back, but he’s still kn
Spurs Look to Exploit Wolves’ Clutch Struggles in Sunday Matchup
The Minnesota Timberwolves face a quick turnaround against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, a scenario that has historically proven challenging for the team during the 2025-26 NBA campaign. Minnesota currently holds a 0-3 record against the spread when playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Recent performances have also raised concerns, with the wolves squandering late fourth-quarter leads against the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns.
Adding to these concerns, minnesota nearly allowed the Boston Celtics to erase a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter, highlighting a meaningful weakness: clutch performance. The Timberwolves rank 24th in the NBA in clutch offensive rating (101.4) and 28th in clutch assist-to-turnover ratio,indicating difficulty closing out games effectively.https://www.nba.com/stats (This link directs to the official NBA stats page where clutch statistics can be found – Note: Specific 2025-26 stats are currently unavailable and would need to be updated when the season progresses).
These struggles suggest the Spurs could remain competitive on Sunday night. San Antonio, while undergoing a rebuilding phase, may be able to capitalize on Minnesota’s late-game inefficiencies.
