Today’s Best Bets

Here are today’s best NBA bets.

NBA Same Game Parlay

Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics

  • Leg 1: Kyrie Irving Under 6.5 Assists (-138)
  • Leg 2: Kyrie Irving Under 30.5 Points (-108)
  • Leg 3: Jayson Tatum Over 30.5 Points (-113)'

After seeing Kyrie's ability to score 48 points a week or so ago, I am a bit scared to fade him but his props have simply gotten too high. Over the last two weeks, he's averaged 35 points per game and 7.6 assists. That number will soon come down to his seasonal average of 27 points and 5.3 assists.

Going against a top-10 defense in a game where both teams rank in the bottom half of pace of play is where I expect Kyrie to come back down to earth a bit. With Boston favored by 8.5 points, there is the chance of a blowout where Irving's impact is not as strong.

Jayson Tatum on the other hand, Tatum is the king of consistency. He's scored 30+ points in six of his last seven games and I don't see any reason for him to stop tonight. It is a bit chalky parlay, but sometimes the best bets aren't the most exciting.'

NBA Game Picks

Suns vs. Hawks

Just when they were starting to roll, the Hawks have again begun to slide as January came to an end. Coming into Wednesday, the Hawks have now lost four of their past five (2-3 ATS), including some bad ones to Portland and the Clippers, where they gave up more than 120 points in each.

For the Suns, a rough start to the year has turned into now having won five of six, as they start to get healthy once again. With Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton now firmly back in the lineup, the Suns should roll in this one.

Bet: Suns -1.5 (-110)

First Basket Scorer

Golden State Warriors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves are also winning the tip 68% of the time. They’ve taken the first shot 66% of the time and have made the first basket 64% of the time.

They’ll take on a Golden State Warriors team that has only won the tip 48% of the time. The Warriors have been very good defensively to begin games. That’s allowed them to score 64% of the first baskets. But the reality is that the Timberwolves will at least get the first crack at scoring first.

Rudy Gobert has seven first-basket attempts and nine first-baskets made. He leads the Timberwolves’ first baskets made and has a solid matchup against the Warriors. Let’s ride with the big man.

Bet: Rudy Gobert (+650)
