Every bet on today's slate, moneylines and totals together, ranked from most to least confident. This isn't a repeat of each game's full write-up, just the read on how the evidence stacks up against the rest of the board.
New Orleans getting an extra rest day over Sacramento is the functional reason this sits at the top of the board, but it's a lean, not a lock.

The one thing keeping this from sitting higher is that Atlanta's home defense is noticeably better at creating turnovers, and that's a real wrinkle against a team leaning on Mitchell to carry the scoring load.
