Best NBA Bets Today

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Charlotte Hornets, 6:00PM ET

Both teams will play their second game in as many nights tonight, and while the Hornets are basking in the afterglow of a win against the Wizards on Friday, the Bucks could be looking to make a statement after dropping their home game to the Lakers. Milwaukee's usually resolute defense was nowhere to be seen against LA, letting Anthony Davis and LeBron James go to work to put up a staggering 133 points. The former champs boast some strong defenders who will take exception with such a poor game and will look to right the ship against the Hornets who have one of the more stuttering offenses in the NBA, ranking 26th for points scored this season. Scary hours for the Hornets.

Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors, 8:00PM ET

Orlando dropped yet another game last night - their ninth loss in their last 10 games - this time against the Cavs in a game where they did their best to stick around but were never quite up to it. While it was something of an honorable loss for the Magic, their life gets a little harder tonight as they head north to Toronto for a meeting against a nearly full-strength Raptors team. Orlando will be without a host of their own stars, including Mo Bamba, Wendall Carter, Gary Harris and Jalen Suggs, making this already inexperienced team all the more thin. The Raps' haven't exactly been setting the world on fire, but this is a golden opportunity to punish a banged up team on the road.,

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, 8:00PM ET

A breakneck speed is predicted between these two ballclubs tonight, with both the Thunder and Timberwolves ranking among the fastest teams in the NBA for pace this season. That stat has spooked the sportsbooks into posting a high total here at 232.5, but those expecting a lot of points could be disappointed. The Thunder are currently on a rough shooting stretch, shooting the ball at just 43% over their last five outings, good for third-worst in the league, while the Timberwolves are around the middle of the pack at 48% over that same span. This is a big total, and we're just not convinced both teams will shoot well enough for long enough to cover it.
