1. RAPTORS +15.5 (-105)
Odds: -105
Probability: 57.4%
Edge: 6.2%
Game: Raptors vs Cavaliers (7PM EST)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered the best bet of the day, taking place in the Raptors vs Cavaliers matchup, where our model has determined that Raptors +15.5 is the best bet of the day. In their last head to head matchup, the Raptors were able to keep it somewhat close, finishing the game 122-108. Our model suspects that a +15.5 spread is a little high and that the Raptors will be able to cover it almost effortlessly. Although the Cavs are by far the better team, the Raptors have a lot of fight in them and can give even the best teams a run for their money.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Raptors +15.5. With -105 odds and a 6.2% edge making it our best bet of the day.
2. HORNETS +8.5 (-105)
Odds: -105
Probability: 53.5%
Edge: 2.3%
Game: Hornets vs Lakers (10:30PM EST)
Our Model has determined another one of the best NBA bets for tonight’s game slate, setting its sights on a matchup between Hornets vs Lakers. Going into tonights game the Lakers are coming off back to back losses. Our model suspects that with the Honest rebounding edge (46.2 RPG to 44.3 RPG) along with having a better 3-point opponent percentage, the Hornets have a solid chance at staying close in tonights game. In addition to this, with the game being held in LA, we suspect that the Lakers won’t be at their 100%, due to distractions from the wild fires and LA burning.
The Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Hornets +8.5, at -105 odds and a 2.3% edge.
