Top NBA Moneyline pick – Cavaliers (-360) vs. Bucks
Cleveland has regularly defeated the Bucks in recent times. The Cavs have 8 wins in the previous 10 encounters and currently look like a better team than the Giannis-less Milwaukee. Both teams are coming off respective losses, though; the Cavs had a tough road challenge in Atlanta.
From what we saw, the Bucks’ defense is terrible, allowing 120+ points in each of its defeats. Now, against the team that has Mitchell, Harden, and three more players who average 15 or more points, that’s a huge problem, and the reason why we plan to bet on Cleveland. Cavaliers Vegas odds are at -360, which is ok from this perspective.
Top NBA Over/Under Pick – Hawks vs. Pelicans Over 241.5
Atlanta is a nasty team that finally snapped a 3-game losing streak, beating the Cavaliers 114-111 this Friday night in an NBA Cup game. On the other side is a mild Pelicans unit that sits at a 1-4 record. New Orleans commits 17.2 turnovers per game and looks pretty loose on the floor. Yes, we get it, Zion dunks from time to time, and that’s nice to see, but winning is what counts.
The Hawks have a deeper roster and more athletic players. Now, Atlanta has the 6th offense in the NBA, and the Pelicans are 5th. So this is perfect for NBA Over/Under betting, because we have two run-and-gun teams that aren’t too keen on pushing hard on the defensive end. Over is pretty high in this case, 241.5 points, yet we take it.
Top NBA Against the Spread Pick – Kings vs. Grizzlies (-10)
On one side, we have the winless Kings, who are 0-5 at the moment, and look pretty desperate. On the other are the Grizzlies, who sit at 5-0. We won’t waste much of your time here, but be swift and precise.
The NBA spread on the Grizzlies is -10.5. We will bet on covering that margin because of one data point. Sacramento’s average score margin is -16.6. This means they are losing by at least 16.5 points. As for the Grizzlies, their average scoring margin is +12. So, on average, they score 12 points more than their rivals. The spread here is 10.5, and judging by all these numbers, we’ve got to bet on Memphis.
Best NBA Player Prop Bet
Lonzo Ball Over 23.5 points
The Timberwolves head to San Antonio without Anthony Edwards, who averaged 33.3 points per game until his knee injury. So his scoring productivity will have to be shared among the Timberwolves’ players. We strongly believe Lonzo Ball will get most of those points. He had 24 against the Clippers last night, in a 127-101 win, hitting 6 threes and harassing the rival’s backcourt. Therefore, we expect to see him at the same level in Texas, and feel free to take Lonzo Over 23.5 points.
That’s all for today’s NBA game predictions, see you tomorrow. Though, you might want to check our best NHL picks for today.
