1. MAVERICKS +11.0 (-106)
Odds: -106
Probability: 57.6%
Edge: 5.2%
Game: Mavericks vs Nuggets (9PM EST)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered the best bet of the day, taking place in the Mavericks vs Nuggets matchup. In this matchup, our model has determined that Mavericks +11.0 is a solid wager to place. The Mavs have been able to cover this particular number in 5/5 of their most recent matchups, while the Nuggets have only covered this number in 1/5 matchups. Our model predicts that the Mavericks will be able to cover this number in tonight’s game. With Jokic listed as GTD for the Nuggets, our model predicts that if he doesn’t end up playing this is even more of a lock for the Mavericks.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Mavericks +11.0. With our model showing -106 odds and a 5.2% edge.
2. MAGIC -8.5 (-115)
Odds: -115
Probability: 53.1%
Edge: 2.7%
Game: Bulls vs Magic (7:30PM EST)
The last best bet our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered takes us to Orlando, where the Bulls vs Magic get ready to face off. Our model narrowed down Magic -8.5 as a solid wager to take. Going into the game, the Bulls are suffering from a couple injuries including Okoro listed as OUT and White listed as GTD. With the Magic only missing Banchero tonight, our model suspects that the Magic will be able to get the upper hand early on in the game. With players like Suggs, Wagner, and Bane stepping up while Banchero is out with injury, we believe this is a solid wager to make for tonight.
Our basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Magic -8.5 with a 2.7% edge and -115 odds.
