It's a deep dish menu Friday and we'll attack a chalky moneyline, an against the spread pick on a sharp line by the books, a total points side, my favorite underdog moneyline winner of the day, and a player prop bet to build the bankroll. Here are my NBA best bets for Friday.
The Boston Celtics keep winning and are on pace for the best offensive rating of all time. The Milwaukee Bucks are just half a game behind in second place but find themselves as underdogs on Friday. The Utah Jazz have their first losing streak of the season and now have to contend with the still-formidable Phoenix Suns.
On Friday, we have an 11-game slate in the NBA, with 21 teams having rest and possibly having more health on their side. Still, finding props to target and lines to attack early in the day requires some intricate work. Welcome back to the NBA Best Bets piece where we look to find the spots where your money should be headed.
Here are our best bets for Friday's NBA slate (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
