4 games on Thursday, November 12, 2026, first tip at 7:10 pm ET. The biggest favorite is the Pistons at about 77% to win. The tightest spread is Mavericks at Timberwolves (5.5 points). The highest total is 227, in Mavericks at Timberwolves.
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.
