It’s a loaded Monday in the NBA with a full card of games, and tonight’s Raymond Report forecast gives bettors plenty of valuable data to chew on. From top-tier trends to value indicators, here’s your analytical edge heading into the November 24 slate.

Detroit Pistons (-9) vs Indiana Pacers

Forecast Line: Detroit 124.21 – Indiana 115.98 | Total Forecast: 240.19
C.O.W. (Chance of Winning): Detroit 74.38% | V.I.C: Bullish on Pistons

The Pistons have been the league’s hottest team, riding a 12-game SU win streak while going 9-1 ATS in their last 10. They’ve quietly turned into a bettor’s dream team. Indiana, on the other hand, continues to slide — just 2-14 SU and struggling defensively.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Detroit’s recent form and motivational edge suggest a value on the side despite the large spread.
• Lean: Pistons -9 | Total Lean: Over 235.5

Cleveland Cavaliers (-2.5) vs Toronto Raptors

Projected Score: Cavaliers 118.5 – Raptors 118.07 | Forecast Total: 236.57
V.I.C: Bullish on Cavaliers

This is a near pick’em between two well-coached, confident teams. Cleveland’s rested edge (one day off) contrasts Toronto’s back-to-back situation. Toronto’s 7-game win streak is impressive, but they could be due for regression against a Cavs team that’s covered 7 of their last 10.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Short rest hurts Toronto; the Cavs’ defense and efficiency rate project a narrow SU and ATS win.
• Lean: Cavaliers -2.5 | Total Lean: Over

---

New York Knicks (-13.5) vs Brooklyn Nets

Projected Score: Knicks 119.7 – Nets 110.92 | Forecast Total: 230.62
V.I.C: Neutral

The Knicks face a struggling Nets squad that has dropped 3 straight SU and ATS. Despite heavy chalk, the Knicks have been dependable at home. Brooklyn’s defense gives up one of the highest opponent FG% in the East, while New York’s bench production keeps their cover rate strong.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Knicks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10, while Brooklyn has failed to cover in 7 of their last 9.
• Lean: Knicks -13.5 | Total: Under 228.5 (fatigue test for NY’s offense)

---

Miami Heat (-8.5) vs Dallas Mavericks

Projection: Miami 124.96 – Dallas 116.26 | Forecast Total: 241.22
V.I.C: Bullish on Miami

The Heat are in the zone — 4 straight SU & ATS wins, including a big one over Philadelphia. Dallas, meanwhile, continues to struggle with efficiency (just 5-13 SU). Miami’s balanced scoring and top-10 rebounding margin make them the sharper side here.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Dallas 3-7 SU in last 10, Miami 7-3 and trending up across all analytics.
• Lean: Miami -8.5 | Total: Over 241

---

Denver Nuggets (-8) vs Memphis Grizzlies

Projection: Denver 122.55 – Memphis 112.89 | C.O.W.: 85.19%
V.I.C: Bullish

Even after a tough loss to Sacramento, Denver remains elite. Memphis has shown flashes (back-to-back wins), but their offense lacks the punch to keep pace with the Nuggets’ firepower. Denver has covered 9 of their last 10 ATS, the league’s hottest cover streak.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Denver’s road defense holds opponents under 110 ppg over last 5.
• Lean: Nuggets -8 | Total: Over 232.5

---

Houston Rockets (-6) vs Phoenix Suns

Projection: Houston 116.28 – Phoenix 112.69 | Total Forecast: 228.97
V.I.C: Bullish on Houston

The Rockets’ data indicates strong short-term momentum with a tightening defense. The Suns have been inconsistent, especially ATS on the road (2-8 last 10). The sharper system metrics side with Houston’s rebounding edge and home court.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Houston’s 7-3 ATS last 10; Phoenix trending under with low C.O.G.O.
• Lean: Rockets -6 | Total Lean: Under

---

Minnesota Timberwolves (-9.5) vs Sacramento Kings

Projection: Wolves 120.32 – Kings 118.55 | Forecast Total: 238.87
V.I.C: Bullish on Minnesota

Minnesota is rested and physical — a deadly combo against a Kings team that’s lost 9 straight ATS. Sacramento may find scoring tonight, but Minnesota’s recent home dominance makes this a solid chalk side.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Kings: 1-9 ATS last 10 | Wolves: 6-3-1 ATS last 10
• Lean: Timberwolves -9.5 | Total Lean: Over

---

Golden State Warriors (-14) vs Utah Jazz

Projection: Warriors 123.53 – Jazz 111.53 | Forecast Total: 235.06
V.I.C: Neutral

The Warriors have dropped three in a row but return home where they traditionally rebound well. Utah’s defense has been allowing 120+ in most road games. Despite the large spread, the metrics still lean GS due to Utah’s poor SOS (63%) against elite teams.

Raymond Report Angle:

• Jazz 4-5-1 ATS last 10; Warriors due for a breakout.
• Lean: Warriors -14 | Total Lean: Over 239.5
