The NBA's 75th Christmas Day slate features five juicy matchups, and we're targeting the favorites with our NBA best bets!
Sometimes it's a great idea to bet on the underdog and take advantage of the value that comes with that wager. Other times, it makes sense to take the favorite. Sunday's NBA Christmas Day slate is the latter.
We're taking the Denver Nuggets to dispatch the Phoenix Suns at home and the Memphis Grizzlies to steal a rare win by the visiting team in Golden State. The Boston Celtics are favored to handle business at home against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, and we can get value by betting on the Celtics to cover.
Here are our NBA best bets for Christmas Day (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
