    It's Wednesday on The Huddle and that means it's an all-NBA episode as Ninja, ex-Milwaukee Buck John Henson and Chris Walder take a look at some of the biggest stories around the league and how it impacts your NBA bets. LeBron James is mired in an ugly shooting slump as he's 0-19 from beyond the arc in his last four games and is it a sign that Father Time is catching up to the King? The Lakers have struggled as a result and sit ninth in a high-competitive Western Conference. Are they cooked? Elsewhere, we already know the Washington Wizards are completely cooked and we're only 19 games into their season. But as they struggle with a 15-game losing streak, fading them is proving to be a great way to pad your bankroll. The guys discuss whether the streak will come to an end any time soon or whether they might just break the record. The guys talked about the Milwaukee Bucks a few weeks ago during their struggles and now it seems they've turned their season around. Giannis as put this team on his back and played some of the best basketball of his career. He's still got some solid value in NBA MVP betting markets, but you can bet against Nikola Jokic at this point?  All this and the best NBA bets of the night on today's episode of The Huddle!

There also could be some value in 2024/25 NBA Rookie of the Year betting markets as it's Philadelphia 76ers youngster Jared McCain who has been the sole bright spot in an otherwise dreary season.
