The action in the NBA starts very early on Sunday with the Clippers vs Celtics match-up tipping-off at 3.30 pm ET. In total we have 8 games coming our way, I’ve gone in-depth with every single one of them and prepared a Best Bet for all 8 encounters. As usual, odds are courtesy of FanDuel. We’ve got you covered with NBA Picks for the foreseeable future, but now let’s get into my bets.
Clippers vs Celtics Best Bet: Celtics -5 (-110)
The oldest team in the league just played double OT and required 133 points to beat a injury depleted Mavs team. Boston has home court advantage here, plus they’re 6th in three point makes. LA is among the worst perimeter defenses in the league.
Kings vs Spurs Best Bet: Spurs -7.5 (-112)
The Kings are 29th in both offensive and defensive efficiency in their last 5 games. Wemby and co. are looking for a bounce back performance following back-to-back losses to Golden State. Expect Fox to dominate his former team here.

Nets vs Wizards Best Bet: Wizards -2.5 (-110)
It’ll be ugly to watch at times, but I am siding with the Wizards here as they have the more experienced roster with Khris Middleton and CJ McCollum.

Magic vs Rockets Best Bet: Rockets -8.5 (-110)
Houston is 8-1 SU in 9 games, while averaging the most points per game. The Magic have slowly picked it up lately, but both Banchero and Wagner are dealing with injuries and one or both could miss this game.

Warriors vs Pelicans Best Bet: Warriors -11 (-110)
Curry once again turned back the clock with two consecutive 40+ point games vs San Antonio. New Orleans is going nowhere, they’ve lost 4 in a row and just don’t have the offense to keep up here.

Trail Blazers vs Mavericks Best Bet: Trail Blazers -3.5 (-108)
Both teams are coming off losses, but I give Portland the edge. Dallas has had a favorable schedule with 9 of 13 games being at home so far, but they are only 3-10 on the season and struggling to find enough healthy bodies.
Hawks vs Suns Best Bet: Over 231.5 (-112)
Both teams are shooting the lights out in the past 10 days or so. Atlanta has scored 130+ in back-to-back games, while the Suns have put up 120+ in 3 straight. Give me the over here.

Bulls vs Jazz Best Bet: Jazz +4.5 (-110)
Chicago has just 1 win in 5 road games, they could be without Josh Giddey in this one as his ankle injury still hasn’t healed. Utah averages the 2nd most assists per game at home this year, playing there gives them the edge in my opinion.
