Before the NBA goes dark for U.S. Thanksgiving, fans and bettors are treated to a smorgasbord of games on Wednesday night.
The latest: The NBA’s top squad, the Cleveland Cavaliers, put their 10-0 home record on the line against the underwhelming Atlanta Hawks. Elsewhere, the New Orleans Pelicans get some much-needed help against the Toronto Raptors and Victor Wembanyama looks to stay on fire against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Betting insights
- Some notable names on the 8:30 a.m. injury report include Trae Young (questionable), Joel Embiid (out), Paul George (out), Norman Powell (questionable), Klay Thompson (questionable), Brandon Ingram (questionable) and Steph Curry (questionable).
- Atlanta is 1-4 ATS in its past five games, losing each of its past three by 10-plus points. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s margin of victory at home this year is +14.7 points. This one could be ugly.
- How does Dejounte Murray fit into the Pelicans’ game plan? We don’t really know, given that he broke his hand on opening night. But after averaging 20-plus points in each of his previous three seasons, Murray should be a focal point for a New Orleans squad that is still depleted.
- Keep an eye on the injury report to see whether or not Wembanyama plays tonight on a back-to-back. If he does, he’ll look to build on a remarkable run: 32.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.5 blocks over his past six games.
- The most consistent thing about the Nuggets so far has been their trend of hitting the over. This season, overs are 11-5 (68.8%) in Nuggets games, which is the second-highest rate in the NBA. Denver and Utah hit the over when they played back on Nov. 2 (a 129-103 win for Denver).
