Tonight’s NBA slate offers some exciting matchups and intriguing betting opportunities. Whether you’re looking for the best game totals, point spreads, or player props, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the top picks for today’s games.
Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets – 7:30 PM EST
Best Bet: Under 214.5 (-110)
The Brooklyn Nets have been struggling offensively, averaging just 105 PPG, while the Clippers boast one of the league’s best defenses, ranking 4th in points allowed. Even though Los Angeles can score, Brooklyn’s offensive struggles could keep this total under. A projected score of 112-98 would land at 210, staying below the 214.5 mark.
Prop Bet: James Harden Over 8.5 Assists (-117)
Harden is dishing out 8.5 assists per game, and with Brooklyn’s defense likely focusing on Kawhi Leonard, expect him to rack up even more dimes, especially in what could be a one-sided game.
New York Knicks vs. Milwaukee Bucks – 8:00 PM EST
Best Bet: Milwaukee Bucks to Win 1st Half ML (-115)
Milwaukee is dominant at home, covering the spread in 13 of their last 18 home games. With their offensive firepower and potential Knicks injuries (Jalen Brunson’s status uncertain), the Bucks should take control early.
Golden State Warriors at New Orleans Pelicans – 8:00 PM EST
Best Bet: Warriors -9.5 1st Half Spread (-110)
Golden State tends to start strong, and with the Pelicans missing key scorers, expect the Warriors to dominate early.
Best Bet: Under 227 Total Points (-110)
New Orleans has averaged just 109.1 PPG in their last 10 games, and Golden State’s defense should keep them in check. The total points are likely to stay under 227.
Prop Bet: Kelly Olynyk Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Olynyk has stepped up with the Pelicans shorthanded, averaging 8 rebounds and 7.5 assists in his last two games. He has hit this over in 3 of his last 5 contests.
Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves – 8:00 PM EST
Best Bet: Under 224.5 Total Points (-110)
With both teams battling for playoff positioning, expect a defensive showdown. Minnesota ranks 6th in defensive rating and holds opponents to just 109.3 PPG. Meanwhile, the Suns have averaged under 109 points in four of their last eight games. A low-scoring affair seems likely.
Utah Jazz at Denver Nuggets – 9:00 PM EST
Best Bet: Nuggets -18.5 Point Spread (-110)
Denver has been dominant at home, and Utah has struggled to compete against top-tier teams. Even with the large spread, the Nuggets should have no problem covering against a struggling Jazz squad.
