NBA Best Team Bet #1: Philadelphia 76ers -8 (-112)
The Philadelphia 76ers will be hosting the Golden State Warriors and it feels like the Sixers should win by double digits. The Warriors are going to be without point guard Stephen Curry as he suffered a labrum injury last time out.
The Warriors have been poor on the road as they are 2-13 while the 76ers are 10-5 inside of the Wells Fargo Center. Now without Curry and Andrew Wiggins for this game as well as Draymond Green listed as questionable, this feels like a game where the Warriors do not do well. Golden State is 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games against Philadelphia so go with the 76ers to cover the spread.
NBA Best Team Bet #2: Brooklyn Nets -1 (-112)
The Brooklyn Nets have been doing extremely well as of late and are 3-0 this season against the Toronto Raptors. The Nets have been a lot better with Jacque Vaughn calling the shots and have arguably the three best players on the court in Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons, while the Raptors are struggling to stay healthy.
The Nets have scored 122.5 points in their last four games heading into this matchup, while the Raptors are averaging 110.3 points in their previous three games. Brooklyn have covered in the last four games against Toronto, so go with them to win the game on the road here.
NBA Best Team Bet #3: Sacramento Kings -5 (-110)
Without Cade Cunningham for the Detroit Pistons for the remainder of the regular season, it will be tough to imagine them being able to score enough to win consistently and keep up with one of the best offenses in the entire sport.
The defense of late has shown a big difference as Sacramento are allowing 113.3 points in their previous four games while Detroit are giving up 124 points in their last three games.
Sacramento are going to be able to outscore their opponents and dominate on the floor to the point where Detroit are going to give up a major run. The Kings are 4-1-2 ATS in their previous seven games between these teams played in Detroit, so go with the Sacramento Kings to cover the spread.
