It’s only been two days in December and we have already seen some spectacular results in the NBA. The action continues with a 9-game slate this Wednesday, with the game of the night being in Dallas where the 7-15 Mavericks host their bitter rivals the Miami Heat.
Catch the game live from 8.30 pm ET on NBA TV, I’ve gone in depth with every single game and prepared a Best Bet. Odds are courtesy of FanDuel, we got you covered with NBA Picks for every single NBA game this season. Now, let’s take a closer look at what I’m predicting tonight!
Trail Blazers vs Cavaliers Best Bet: Over 238.5 (-112)
The over has cashed 14 times in 21 Portland games this season and in 8 of their last 11 on the road. They’ll be playing their 2nd game in two nights, the defense might be a step slow here.

Nuggets vs Pacers Best Bet: Pacers +7.5 (-110)
Although their record isn’t something they can brag about this season, the Pacers have been fairly reliable at home lately covering in 4 of 5 games. Denver has a couple of major injury worries at the moment, they’ll probably come out on top here, but it’ll be a close finish.

Spurs vs Magic Best Bet: Spurs +8 (-108)
The spread is just too big for me here. San Antonio is a solid 6-2 ATS/SU in 8 games, even without Wemby they should be competitive here. Orlando’s three-point shooting is also a worry, they’ve failed to crack double digit threes made in 2 consecutive games.
Clippers vs Hawks Best Bet: Hawks -3.5 (-108)
Not sure why the Clippers are only 3.5 point underdogs here. Nothing is going right for them, they’ve lost 5 in a row and 8 of 9 games. The Hawks have been remarkable at 13-9 SU, Jalen Johnson is putting on a clinich on a nightly basis.
Hornets vs Knicks Best Bet: Hornets +9.5 (-108)
I don’t trust the Knicks who are playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back here. The Hornets have nothing to lose, we just saw them beat the Bulls and Raptors last week, surely they can keep things interesting here?
Nets vs Bulls Best Bet: Nets +8 (-108)
Michael Porter Jr. just put on a show for the Nets who beat the Charlotte Hornets by double-digits. Their long ball has been going in fairly steadily with 16 and 17 threes made in the last two games. Chicago has been a mess, they’ve dropped 4 in a row and 7 of 10.

Kings vs Rockets Best Bet: Over 230.5 (-110)
The only way the Kings stay competitive in this game is if they speed up the tempo. The over has cashed in 5 of 7 meetings in Houston, while the 10 most recent games head-to-head are averaging 235.8 points per game.
Pistons vs Bucks Best Bet: Pistons -3.5 (-110)
This is a no-brainer. Detroit is the most dominant team in the Conference, playing a Bucks team that’s in shambles. Milwaukee just lost to Washington, one of the worst teams in the league and Giannis might be on his way out.

Heat vs Mavericks Best Bet: Mavs ML (+144)
Perhaps the return of Anthony Davis can spark the Mavericks to go on a run? They just beat the Clippers and Nuggets in consecutive games, I rate their chances against Miami highly as they’re 4-1 ATS in 5 home meetings with them. Norman Powell is also dealing with an ankle sprain which helps the Mavs.
