New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic
The Knicks are traveling to Orlando to face the Magic on the tail end of a back-to-back. Although the Knicks were just 2-point underdogs against the Miami Heat, they are only 2.5-point favorites against the Magic and the spread seems narrow. However, the emergence of Markelle Fultz and Paolo Banchero has been enjoyable to watch for the Magic. Still, the Knicks have been a solid team to bet on recently, and leaning on their moneyline until further notice may be the right choice. Jalen Suggs is out, and Jalen Brunson — who just returned from injury — feels closer to being out than in, making it difficult to know what to do with this game. In this situation, a lean towards the Knicks seems like the right call.
Best NBA Bet: Knicks Moneyline (LEAN)
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Brooklyn Nets
The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing the Brooklyn Nets, who have been disappointing lately. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, are fourth in the Eastern Conference and first in adjusted net rating in the entire Association on dunks and 3’s. This means that they are good at basketball and can stop opponents from scoring. With Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, the Cavaliers have a nasty defensive presence that makes it difficult for opponents to go toe-to-toe with them. The Nets are not going to beat the Cavaliers on the interior, so Nicolas Claxton will need to step up his game.
For this game, a three-ball single-game parlay may be worth considering, as Darius Garland over 1.5 3’s plus Spencer Dinwiddie over 1.5 3’s may grade out quite nicely at north of +135 together. The Cavaliers should give ample opportunity to Garland, avoiding the Mikal Bridges-on-Donovan Mitchell cluster for the Cavaliers.
