Best NBA Picks November 9

Top NBA Moneyline Pick – Pacers vs. Mavericks -150

The Mavericks have shown a solid upward trend, winning their previous back-to-back games. Both were at home, as was this one. They look better on both ends of the court, so it’s no wonder they won by a combined 49 points. Cooper Flag took a massive step forward, and we aren’t kidding when we say the young fella could already become an All-NBA this season. He even appeared on the NBA Most Improved Player odds board (though as a complete underdog), which indicates his development.

As for the Pacers, their roster is full of injured players. Their backcourt is severely damaged because Halliburton, McConnell, and Sheppard won’t play, and the starting center, Ivica Zubac, is still day-to-day, as is Kelly Oubre Jr.

It’s very easy to understand why we take the Mavericks moneyline here. They don’t have injured players and their trend is positive, while the Pacers have major issues and lack depth at the ball-handling positions.

Top Over/Under Pick: Pelicans vs. Warriors Over 231.5 points

The Warriors are superb at 7-3, mostly thanks to “forever young” Steph Curry, who averages 31.3 points per game. His shooting stats are very popular for NBA player props betting, because Curry shots near 50% from the field.

Golden State is the No.5 scoring offense in the NBA with 118.6 points. As for the Pelicans, they are the second-best scoring team in the league, delivering 120.5 points each night. Now, both teams have mediocre defenses. Furthermore, the Pels have a terrible one, allowing more than 120 points.

With Curry in superb form and the Pelicans’ offense-first approach, Over 231.5 is the best NBA bet for today.

Against the Spread Pick: Cavaliers -9.5 vs. Hornets

Cavaliers are desperately trying to catch their groove, but it’s not happening. They are 5-5 right now, losing three of their past 4 appearances. Still, based on this team’s stats, they should be well above .500, with all the top-ten offensive statistics.

Hornets are very bad, losing 6 in a row and presenting the NBA’s third-worst offense. All of their offensive stats are among the worst in the league. It’s no wonder their average margin of loss is -13.9 points. LaMelo’s departure hit them hard, and the Charlotte franchise averages only 96.3 ppg.

Even though the game is in North Carolina, Cleveland is our pick to win and cover the spread. Their offense will outpace the sluggish hosts, who can’t even score 100 points. Meanwhile, don’t forget the Cavs drop 117 per contest. Plus, their offense is versatile, with multiple players averaging 10 or more points.

That’s why we bet against the spread here, and that the Cavaliers cover a 9.5-point margin.
