Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee Bucks: VJ Edgecombe over 19.5 points + rebounds, Underdog, 4:30 PM CT
Edgecombe hasn't been able to repeat the dominant performance he had in the season opener, when he had 34 points, seven rebounds and three assists in a 117-116 win over the Celtics on Oct. 22. He hit a rookie wall pretty quickly and averaged 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 31.5 percent from the floor in his first six games in November, but he's beginning to turn things around. Over his last three outings, the former Baylor star has scored at least 14 points and has recorded at least 20 points + rebounds each time. Considering that the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) and Kevin Porter (knee), the Sixers could take advantage of those absences to gain an edge here. We recommend riding the hot hand of Edgecombe, as he seems to be leaving his early-season struggles behind.

Atlanta Hawks vs. San Antonio Spurs: De'Aaron Fox under 32.5 points + assists, Sleeper, 4:30 PM CT
The Spurs will rely heavily on Fox in this game since the list of absences includes Victor Wembanyama (calf), Dylan Harper (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip). Fox has registered 20-plus points in five of his first six games, but his contributions in other categories have been scarce. In fact, he's failed to reach 33 P+R+A in four of his six appearances to date. The Hawks have a strong defensive backcourt, and with Dyson Daniels expected to take care of the defensive matchup against Fox, the veteran floor general should endure a decent share of struggles to make a consistent impact. Don't be surprised if Fox fails to reach this 32.5 P+R+A mark once again.
FRIDAY: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Golden State Warriors: Toumani Camara over 20.5 points + rebounds + assists, PrizePicks, 4:30 PM CT
Camara didn't have his best shooting performance in the Trail Blazers' loss to the Bulls on Wednesday and finished with 14 points while shooting 6-for-15 from the field. However, the versatile wing continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court, and he still surpassed the 20 P+R+A mark after adding five rebounds and two assists. This was the fourth time over his last five games in which he racked up at least 19 P+R+A, and the third time he notched over 20 in that same mark. With Shaedon Sharpe (calf) and Jrue Holiday (calf) listed as questionable on the NBA injury report, there's a chance Camara will have a bigger usage rate. That means his chances of putting up a big scoring performance are a reality, even if the matchup is against Jimmy Butler, who remains an above-average defender. Through 15 games, Camara is producing NBA player stats of 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.1 threes made per game.
