It feels like every night we have one or two games in the NBA that just takes our breath away. Well, there will be no shortage of excitement on Wednesday as 18 teams hit the NBA hardwood.
ESPN’s double-header tips-off in Cleveland between the Rockets and Cavs at 1 pm ET, followed by the Knicks vs Dallas at 9.30 pm ET. I’ve prepared Best Bets for every single-match-up, odds are courtesy of FanDuel. Check our NBA Picks for every single game being played throughout this season, but let’s get into my bets now.
Rockets vs Cavaliers Best Bet: Over 232.5 (-110)
Houston has cashed on the over 10 times in 12 games this season, they have the NBA’s best offense right now. Cleveland has cashed on the over in 6 of 8 games.
Hornets vs Pacers Best Bet: Hornets -1 (-112)
Unlike Indy, the Hornets have a somewhat functional team right now. They just held their ground against Toronto, losing by just two points. Indiana has lost 8 in a row, their last 6 losses were all by 10 or more points.
Raptors vs 76ers Best Bet: Raptors -1.5 (-110)
Toronto let a 14-point lead slip away the last time these two met, this is a good revenge spot for Brandon Ingram and his teammates.
Warriors vs Heat Best Bet: Heat -6.5 (-110)
Jimmy Butler faces his old team on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. Warriors are one of the oldest rosters in the league, don’t be surprised if they rest guys here. Take Miami.
Wizards vs Timberwolves Best Bet: Timberwolves -15.5 (-110)
The Wizards just lost by 23 to the Nets. I repeat, they lost by 23 points to a team that was 1-11 SU prior to that game. Minnesota should win this easily.
Nuggets vs Pelicans Best Bet: Nuggets -13.5 (-108)
Losing Christian Braun is a big blow, but that shouldn’t matter vs the lowly Pelicans. Denver won the first meeting 122-88, back them again to dominate.
Kings vs Thunder Best Bet: Kings +19.5 (-112)
The Kings are bad, but they’re not this bad. They’ve lost by more than 20 only once in 4 games, plus they held their ground in OKC when they lost by just 6 points in late October.
Knicks vs Mavericks Best Bet: Knicks -4.5 (-110)
No need to overthink this one. Jalen Brunson might return, but even if he doesn’t the Knicks should win this one easily. Dallas has the 2nd worst offensive efficiency in the league.
Bulls vs Blazers Best Bet: Bulls -1.5 (-110)
Chicago celebrated one of the unlikeliest wins of the season by beating Denver as a double-digit underdog. They take on a Blazers team playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back, with Coby White back I like their chances here.
