NBA slate preview: Sunday, November 8
LineSpy · updated 12:02 pm ET · November 8, 2026
7 games on Sunday, November 8, 2026, first tip at 3:40 pm ET. The biggest favorite is the Celtics at about 85% to win. The tightest spread is Pelicans at Clippers (1.5 points). The highest total is 237.5, in 76ers at Bulls.
How to read this: each win chance is the median across the books once their built-in margin (the vig) is removed, so the two sides add up to 100%. It’s the market’s view, not our pick. The simulations replay each game possession by possession from real season shot profiles; they show how a game like this can go, not how it will. Live prices for every book are on the board.
