NBA Monday, Nov 17, 2025 — Mining Value with the Raymond Report 80% Club Trends

Because numbers don’t lie… but the betting line tries every damn night.

Welcome to another evening of NBA chaos, where the sportsbooks dangle double-digit spreads and inflated totals like shiny fishing lures, hoping bettors bite like trout in spring thaw. But tonight, we come armed — the Raymond Report 80% Club Trends give us the truth behind the lines.

Let’s break down the best value opportunities hidden across tonight’s matchups using the strongest situational trends available. If you want the edge, this is where it lives.


Los Angeles Clippers @ Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5, 220.5)

🔥 Trend Spotlight: Philadelphia

  • PHI as Home Favorite vs Pacific before division game:
    13-4 ATS | 14-3 SU
  • PHI as Home Team, off a conference loss:
    11-4 ATS | 12-3 SU

Translation: Philly bounces back harder than a kid on a trampoline inside a Costco warehouse. The trends scream value on the Sixers, especially after a recent stumble.

Value Angle:
📍 Philadelphia -5.5 is the sharp side
📍 Slight lean Under 220.5 (trend edges toward Unders historically)


Indiana Pacers @ Detroit Pistons (-10, 230)

Not much screaming off the page here except Detroit’s historical favorite numbers haven’t been worth framing.

Value Angle:
📍 Pass or live bet spot only


Milwaukee Bucks @ Cleveland Cavaliers (-7, 235.5)

🔥 Trend Goldmine: Cleveland in this role

  • CLE as Home Favorite vs MIL:
    22-15-1 ATS | 35-3 SU
  • CLE -6.5 to -9 at home after non-conf game allowing < 100 pts:
    15-10 ATS | 23-2 SU

Translation: The Cavs own real estate inside Milwaukee’s head and have the keys to the building.

Value Angle:
📍 Cleveland -7 looks like a freight train
📍 Lean to Under 235.5 (Division-style defensive tempo)


Charlotte Hornets @ Toronto Raptors (-8, 238)

Nothing in the elite range to push us either way here.

Value Angle:
📍 Totals players only — no premium edge


New York Knicks @ Miami Heat (-1.5, 244)

This line is tighter than a pair of jeans from 1998. Trends don’t provide strong 80% edge, so we stay disciplined.

Value Angle:
📍 Live betting game, let the pace dictate entry


Dallas Mavericks @ Minnesota Timberwolves (-13.5, 228.5)

🔥 Stupid Big Spread Alert

  • DAL +14 to +17.5 as Road Dog:
    21-5-1 ATS
  • MIN as Fav -12.5 to -15:
    9-11 ATS | 17-3 SU

Translation: Minnesota wins, fine — but covering these monster spreads has been a struggle unless they’re playing traffic cones.

Value Angle:
📍 Dallas +13.5
📍 Consider Over 228.5 if scoring pace shows early


Oklahoma City Thunder (-17.5) @ New Orleans Pelicans (224.5)

🔥 Monster Trend: OKC dominance

  • OKC as Favorite, won last by 13+ points:
    53-27 ATS | 64-16 SU
  • OKC vs Southwest Division:
    14-6 ATS | 17-3 SU

Translation: OKC is a buzzsaw right now. You either step aside or lose a limb.

Value Angle:
📍 OKC -17.5 (ouch, but supported)
📍 Over 224.5 sneaky look


Chicago Bulls @ Denver Nuggets (-13.5, 240)

💰 Trend Jackpot: Denver in November

  • DEN Home in November:
    11-6-1 ATS | 16-2 SU | 14-4 O/U
  • DEN -12.5 to -15 home favorite off conf game:
    11-0 SU
  • DEN Monday in November:
    11-4 SU | 13-1-1 O/U

Translation: Denver in November at home on a Monday might be the most profitable sentence in the English language.

Value Angle:
📍 Denver -13.5
📍 Over 240 — scoreboard operators get overtime
