If you're a fan of watching the stars, Thursday is the night for you with a Lakers vs. Nuggets matchup featuring LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic, another chance to claim the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS, which gives new users a $10 cash bonus after $10 worth of trades. The Nuggets host the Lakers, who have won three straight games, and given how Los Angeles has played lately, the SportsLine Projection Model is backing the "No" on the Nuggets to win by more than 5.5 points. Kalshi prices this outcome at $0.53 per share.

While the model projects a closer contest for Lakers vs. Nuggets, it expects the Rockets to defeat the Warriors with relative ease, backing Houston to win by more than 9.5 points in its Thursday NBA picks. One of SportsLine's top experts has also locked in a college basketball pick for Rutgers vs. No. 8 Michigan State. Sign up for Kalshi with the promo code CBSSPORTS, trade $10 on sports and receive your $10 cash bonus here:

Kalshi prediction markets to target on Thursday

  • Rockets to win by more than 9.5 points vs. Warriors ($0.47 per share)
  • Rutgers vs. Michigan State: "No" on more than 142.5 total points scored ($0.56 per share)
  • "No" on Nuggets to win by more than 5.5 points vs. Lakers ($0.53 per share)

Rockets to win by more than 9.5 points vs. Warriors ($0.47 per share)

Kevin Durant goes up against one of his former teams on Thursday, and the 37-year-old Rockets forward has proven he still has plenty of game-changing scoring potential. Durant has scored at least 30 points in three straight games and has led the Rockets to the third-best record in the West at 38-22 this season. The Rockets have won four of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Warriors have lost five of their last six games, with four of those losses coming by at least 10 points. Stephen Curry (knee) remains out on Thursday, and the model projects the Rockets to roll at home, where they are 20-7 compared to the Warriors being 12-17 on the road. The model projects the Rockets to win by more than 9.5 points in 68% of simulations. Trade Rockets vs. Warriors here with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS:

Rutgers vs. Michigan State: "No" on more than 142.5 total points scored ($0.56 per share)

"In six Big Ten home games not against Michigan or Illinois, Michigan State is surrendering only 57.3 points per game to its opponents," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "Rutgers is worst in the conference in scoring, so expecting them to top the low-60s in points seems overly optimistic. These teams played an 88-79 overtime thriller in late-January, but this one will be quite the opposite." Trade Rutgers vs. Michigan State here with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS:

"No" on Nuggets to win by more than 5.5 points vs. Lakers ($0.53 per share)

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets in Denver earlier this season, as the two return to the Mile High on Thursday. The Nuggets haven't won by more than 5.5 points in any of their last four games against the Lakers, and the Nuggets are coming off just barely defeating the lowly Jazz, 128-125, on Monday after dropping back-to-back games. Meanwhile, the Lakers have won three straight contests by an average of 20.3 points per game. The Lakers have lost only one game by more than 5.5 points over their last eight contests, and the model expects the tandem of Luka Doncic and LeBron James to remain competitive with Denver on Thursday, with the Nuggerts failing to win by more than 5.5 points in 55% of simulations. Trade Lakers vs. Nuggets here with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS:
