Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Picks and Predictions January 29th 2026

January 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NBA

Oklahoma City heads to Minneapolis on Thursday night with the league’s best record (38-10) and the kind of profile bettors hate fading: elite defense, clean execution late, and enough creation to survive cold shooting nights. They just handled New Orleans 104-95 behind another steady Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring night, and they should get Isaiah Hartenstein back in the mix, which matters for matchup flexibility. Minnesota (29-19) has stabilized with back-to-back wins and they’ve been reliable at the Target Center (16-8). This is a division game, and it usually plays like one: more physical possessions, more half-court minutes, and fewer freebies. The number is OKC -6 with a 225.5 total, which tells you the market respects Minnesota’s ceiling at home but still

Houston Rockets vs. Atlanta Hawks Picks and Predictions January 29th 2026

January 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NBA

Houston heads to State Farm Arena on Thursday night with a 28-16 record and a profile bettors usually trust: physical on the glass, efficient enough to score without living at the line, and a defense that can travel. Atlanta is 24-25, but the current version is playing with real pace and confidence after a win over Boston and a four-game streak that has pushed them back into the East play-in picture. This number is basically the market saying Houston is better and more stable, but Atlanta’s offense can swing games fast at home when the ball is popping and threes are falling. The handicap comes down to whether the Rockets can control possession and shot quality for 48 minutes, and

Charlotte Hornets vs. Dallas Mavericks Picks and Predictions January 29th 2026

January 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NBA

Charlotte heads to the American Airlines Center on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for an 8:30 PM ET tip on FDSS. The Hornets have quietly flipped their recent form with a four-game win streak and a 20-28 record that looks a lot more competitive than it did two weeks ago. Dallas is 19-28 and sliding after two straight losses, and the market is pricing this like a Hornets edge even on the road. That tells you something about where these teams are right now, but it also creates a simple betting question: does Charlotte’s three-point volume translate in this building against a defense built to take that away? These are the current betting lines, and bettors should monitor the latest Hornets

Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Picks and Predictions January 29th 2026

January 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Calgary Flames visit the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Puck drop is set for 8:00 PM on ESPN+. Minnesota is coming off a wild comeback win over Chicago that took a shootout, and they’ll try to avoid the classic letdown two days later. Calgary comes in searching for traction, winless in four (0-2-2), and now missing a key piece for a while. Minnesota has been better lately at finding ways to win even when the game starts going sideways. Calgary has been competitive in stretches, but the finish has been missing, and the lineup takes another hit with Blake Coleman shut down until after the Olympic break. That’s a

Philadelphia-76ers vs Sacramento Kings Picks and Predictions January 29th 2026

January 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NBA

Sacramento hits Philadelphia in a bad place: six straight losses, a brutal 3-20 road mark, and an offense that can look one-dimensional when the threes do not fall. The Kings just went 5-for-30 from deep in New York and still entered the fourth tied, which tells you the effort is there, but the shot-making and late-game offense are not. The Sixers are coming off a reset game offensively, and it matters because it featured the version of Philadelphia the market has been pricing all year. Paul George, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey were all on the floor together, the ball moved, and the spacing turned into a shooting avalanche. Now they get a Kings team that has struggled to defend
