On Wednesday, January 4, we're looking to turn in a big night with our NBA best bets. This is an absolutely loaded slate for basketball fans, and it will be headlined by an ESPN doubleheader in which the Milwaukee Bucks face the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Lakers host the Miami Heat. We're skipping that first game, but we will have a pick when LeBron James takes on his former team. And as always, these picks are backed by a mix of in-depth analysis, betting trends, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. We think you're going to like what you see here, but you should also make sure you check out our NBA player props parlay. We do a three-leg player props parlay every night in hopes of coming away with a big payday. We have hit quite a few in recent weeks.

The Suns have been absolutely miserable without Devin Booker, and the superstar will be out again for this one. However, Phoenix is capable of playing better basketball than it has in recent weeks, and the team apparently addressed that in the locker room after getting blown out by the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday. With that said, we're expecting a better effort from Monty Williams' group here.
