Today’s Best Bets
Here are today’s best NBA bets.
NBA Game Picks
Atlanta Hawks vs. New Orleans Pelicans
The Atlanta Hawks could be in the trade market. They’re 27-27 on the season and don’t know if they’re contenders or pretenders. But with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray paired up, you’d like to think that the Hawks will only get better by the trade deadline.
The Pelicans are in the same boat. They’re patiently waiting for Zion Williamson to return. He’d be the best deadline acquisition possible for New Orleans.
This is why I wouldn’t hit the panic button if I were the Pelicans. I’d wait for Zion to make a run this season.
Brandon Ingram is finally settling in for the Pelicans. New Orleans has won two straight over the Lakers and Kings and scored at least 131 in both home games.
They’ll be home tonight against a Hawks team that allowed 128 to the Denver Nuggets last time. Atlanta’s been on a long road trip. It continues tonight.
Grab the Pelicans at -1.5 at home.
Bet: Pelicans -1.5 (-110)'

First Basket Scorer
Nikola Jokic (+370 @FanDuel)
Tonight the tipoff could go either way. That means the team to score first will be the most consistent on defense and offense. The most consistent team is the Denver Nuggets. They are a well-rounded team that can do everything.
The reason for the consistency of the Nuggets is Nikola Jokic. He is the best all-around center in the NBA. That makes him one of the toughest players to defend. The Timberwolves are dealing with plenty of injuries. That gives Jokic more betting value tonight.
