Today’s Best Bets

Here are today’s best NBA bets.

NBA Game Picks

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets

One of just three teams already eliminated from the playoffs, the Rockets have been the worst team in the league all season long, coming into tonight with just 16 wins on the season. Losers of seven of their last 10, the Rockets now welcome to town a Lakers team getting hot at the right time, as they’ve now won seven of their past 10.

With LeBron James sidelined, Anthony Davis has taken over this team, that now ranks top 10 in the league in points per game, as well as FG%, as Davis and guard Malik Beasley have carried the load. Though I’m not sure how much they do with it, I do expect these Lakers in the play-in tournament. They should pick up a relatively easy win tonight in Houston.

Bet: Lakers -3 (-110)

First Basket Scorer

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Philadelphia 76ers are essentially the better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers. But it’s more likely that the Cavaliers will shoot the first basket in tonight’s game.

Cleveland will likely still be without Jarrett Allen, who is injured. He won’t be able to do the tip-off. But the 76ers have only won the tip in 43% of games with Joel Embiid.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers have won the tip in 65% of games and have attempted the first shot in 62% of games. Cleveland isn’t the most consistent team when shooting first, but I’d much rather bet on the team with the first attempt.
