Best NBA Bets November 11th: Top Tuesday Basketball Picks, Predictions

It’s a six-game slate for the NBA tonight. Options may be a little limited, but that also means you have fewer games and matchups to research before placing your bets for the night. 

To help with that research, we’ve developed our Best NBA Bets.

You should always line shop to make sure you have the most advantageous odds for your wagers, but for these picks, we used FanDuel odds.

Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Boston comes into the game playing a little better over the last few days, winning two of their last three games. They crushed Washington last Wednesday, 136-107, but lost a couple of days later in Orlando, 123-110. They bounced back on Sunday, beating the Magic 111-107.

After starting the season 5-1, the 76ers have lost three of their last four, dropping games to Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit, while beating Toronto. After taking Sunday off following a Saturday game, Joel Embiid should be ready to go against the Celtics tonight.

Pick: 76ers -1.5 (-114)

Boston has beaten Philly in seven of the last ten meetings, including four of the last five. Losing three of their last four looks bad for the 76ers, but those losses came against three of the best teams in the East. While Boston is typically considered one of the top teams in the conference, at 5-6, they are not yet.

With Embiid back in the lineup, the 76ers can and likely will get revenge for the one-point loss to the Celtics on Halloween.

Indiana Pacers vs. Utah Jazz

The struggle has been real for the 1-9 Pacers, who are coming off a dreadful performance against the Warriors on Sunday, scoring just 83 points in a 114-83 loss. Their shooting has been terrible, making just 34.3% of shots against the Warriors and averaging 39.6% this season.

Utah isn’t doing much better at 3-7 after losing to Minnesota, 120-113, Monday night. The Pacers (39.6%) are the only team shooting worse than the Jazz (43%). Both are also among the league’s worst three-point shooting teams: Pacers 29.8% (last) and Jazz 30.5% (28th).

Pick: UNDER 230.5

The OVER is 2-8 for Indiana and 4-5 for Utah. With two teams shooting this poorly, the UNDER is the only logical way to go.

Denver Nuggets vs. Sacramento Kings

Denver has been on cruise control, winning their last four games, including a 130-124 win over the Kings in Denver. Nikola Jokic is leading the way, with six triple-doubles in nine games. He did not have one in the first game vs. the Kings (34/7/14).

Sacramento is 3-7 on the year and has lost three of its last four. After losing to the Nuggets on Halloween, they beat the Warriors 121-116, but followed that with a 31-point loss to the Thunder and a 27-point loss to Minnesota.

Pick: Nuggets -8.5 (-110)

The Nuggets didn’t cover the spread on Halloween vs. the Kings, but they beat the next three opponents by +10 points. With Nikola Jokic leading the way, they should cover this time.
