The Boston Celtics’ hopes of progressing in the In-Season Tournament are hanging by a thread heading into tonight’s contest against the Chicago Bulls—– but they’re not down and out yet. Despite a 13-4 start to the season, the Celtics’ loss to the Orlando Magic on Friday was a hammer blow to their tournament chances. Boston limps into this final group game without key starters but rebounded with a win over the Atlanta Hawks over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Bulls are a miserable 0-3 in group play — which just about sums up their season so far — and they arrive in Beantown on a four-game losing streak after falling 118-109 to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday despite 27 points from DeMar DeRozan.

We have a small 5- Game slate to work with tonight in the NBA with plenty of injury news that has prompted Sports books to lock props for many teams. However, I’ve still managed to find a value spot in the Trail Blazers vs Pacers matchup. Here is our favorite NBA player prop bet for Monday, November 27, but make sure you also read our  NBA picks for each of tonight’s Game s. Same Game Parlay: Shaedon Sharpe (POR) under 3.5 assists & Pacers ML (-115) Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing. Recommended 1u wager. The Indiana Pacers rank #1 in the NBA in offensive rating, thanks to the improved roster and superstar leap from point guard Tyrese Haliburton. Defensively, they are inconsistent but should not struggle against the retooling Trail Blazers on the second leg of a back-to-back. Portland’s offensive volume primarily comes from driving and scoring in the paint or the midrange area, and Indiana’s defense ranks above average in both zones. If the Pacers

Let’s break down each of the 3 legs. Thunder ML over 76ers (+100)   Joel Embiid (hip) is a Game -time decision on Saturday.

After all, Philadelphia has cooled off a bit with back-to-back losses and 4 losses in its last 6 Game s. Without Embiid, the 76ers didn’t stand
