This week's Tuesday NBA doubleheader on NBC/Peacock is as soon as once more sturdy (although I doubt I am alone in wishing Warriors-Thunder was getting the primetime therapy).

76ers (6-4) at Celtics (5-6) -- 8 p.m. (all occasions ET) Nuggets (7-2) at Kings (3-7) -- 11 p.m. Elsewhere, Golden State and Oklahoma Metropolis meet at 8 p.m. in a potential Western Convention playoff preview.

Tonight's slate additionally consists of Toronto at Brooklyn, Memphis at New York and Indiana at Utah.

1️⃣ Nuggets Crew Whole Over 125.5 (-110 at DraftKings)2️⃣ Nikola Jokic 11+ Assists (-102 at DraftKings)3️⃣ Raptors Crew Whole Over 121.5 (-110 at FanDuel)

Greatest Bets (Participant Props, ATS Picks) For November 11 1️⃣: Nuggets Crew Whole Over 125.5 (-110 at DraftKings) The matchup: Nuggets (-8.5) at Kings (11 p.m., NBC/Peacock)

The NBA regular-season schedule provides few "positive issues." That being stated, I might be shocked to see the Kings maintain up defensively for 48 minutes tonight towards the Nuggets, whose offensive ranking of 123.12 is the second-highest within the NBA.

Denver can be recent, with three days' relaxation since Saturday's win over the Pacers improved its report to 7-2.

Nikola Jokic is averaging an absurd 11.9 assists per recreation (which comfortably leads the league), as Denver's upgraded bench and supporting solid have greater than lived as much as the hype thus far.

The Kings will not be solely 3-7, however they're coming off back-to-back ugly losses.

There's little cause to count on them to maintain Denver's high-flying offense in verify tonight. Sacramento's final two opponents -- the Thunder (on Nov. 7) and the Timberwolves (on Nov. 9) -- scored a mixed 276 (!) factors. Each OKC and Minnesota additionally posted efficient capturing percentages of over 60 p.c and offensive rankings of 126 or larger.

And we have already gotten one glimpse of how the Sacramento protection holds up (or would not) vs. this model of Jokic and Co. The Nuggets gained 130-124 when these groups met on November 3 in Denver.

Denver was credited with 33 assists on 50 made discipline objectives that evening, and it scored 130 factors regardless of capturing simply 12-of-38 (31.6 p.c) from 3-point land.

2️⃣Nikola Jokic 11+ Assists (-102 at DraftKings) Did we point out how insane Jokic's numbers as a passer have been this season (even by his lofty requirements)?

Jokic has completed seven of 9 video games this 12 months with no less than 10 dimes.

He is additionally already recorded 14 or extra assists 4 occasions (in solely 9 video games) To place that in context, final 12 months, Jokic completed with the second-most assists within the league (10.2), however he had 14 or extra simply 12 occasions in 70 regular-season video games.

The addition of Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown has given Denver simply what it hoped when it acquired these gamers.

And Aaron Gordon's exceptional enchancment from outdoors (he is a profession 33 p.c 3-point shooter, however he is making 46.3 p.c of his 5.1 3PA per recreation this 12 months) has been huge for this offense.

Some of the spectacular features of Denver's success to this point is the truth that it has come regardless of a chilly begin to the season by Cam Johnson. The previous Web, a profession 38.9 p.c 3-point shooter, has made simply 23.5 p.c of his 3-pointers as a Nugget.

If and when Johnson rediscovers his contact, the Nuggets may change into that a lot more durable to cease -- and Jokic may pad his already-substantial lead on Cade Cunningham (9.9 apg) because the league's assists chief.

Whether or not Johnson will get scorching tonight or not, I really like Jokic's possibilities of reaching 11 assists. Keep in mind, he recorded 14 vs. the Kings on November 3 regardless of Denver capturing simply 31.6 p.c from 3 that evening (properly beneath its season common of 34.8 p.c from downtown).

3️⃣Raptors Crew Whole Over 121.5 (-110 at FanDuel) The matchup: Raptors (-10.5) at Nets (7:30 p.m.)

Let's wrap up tonight's card with one other play on a group to go over its group whole.

Thus far this 12 months, it is not hyperbole to name the younger Brooklyn Nets (1-9) a traditionally unhealthy defensive squad.

Along with permitting 125.5 factors per recreation, Brooklyn's defensive ranking of 127.07 is well the worst within the NBA proper now. That determine is even worse than the defensive rankings posted by the worst defensive group within the league every of the final two years, the Jazz.

Via 10 video games, the Raptors (5-5) have hardly been an offensive juggernaut, however it's value noting that their adjusted offensive ranking (which takes into consideration the standard of opposing defenses) is No. 10 within the NBA at 118.15 -- simply forward of each the Spurs and Thunder.

If superior metrics like offensive rankings (factors per 100 possessions) aren't your factor, let's simply deal with the truth that the Nets have allowed 7 of their first 10 opponents to attain no less than 125 factors.
