Kings on a five-game win streak with elite defense (2.59 goals, 24.3 shots allowed per game). Kuemper's return strengthens their core.

Columbus thrives at home but struggles defensively, allowing over three goals per game. Merzlikins’ .891 save percentage leaves gaps for Philadelphia's top line, led by Konecny and Michkov, who excel on the road. Flyers’ penalty kill issues clash with Columbus' inconsistent power play. Recent history favors Philly, as their resilience and offensive firepower could exploit Columbus' defensive lapses.

Like this post, if you're tailing.

The Magic, led by a top-tier defense and strong home record, struggle offensively without Banchero and Wagner, leaning towards unders (11-14). Phoenix, on a back-to-back, lacks scoring depth without Durant and sees Booker’s inconsistency. Their defense allows 113.8 points but could stifle Orlando’s limited offense. A slow pace and rebounding edge for Phoenix hint at another low-scoring matchup.

Bucks-Nets clash emphasizes defense and slower pace. Milwaukee leans on Giannis and Lillard but lacks offensive depth, struggling late in games. Nets thrive defensively, limiting opponents and playing the league's slowest pace. Both teams align with under trends: Nets lack firepower, Bucks show defensive growth, and prior matchups point to low scoring. Rebounding and shooting offer no edge.

Minnesota thrives with sharp quarterback play from Sam Darnold, a dominant home presence (+7.7-point differential), and a versatile offense led by Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones.
