Best NBA Bets Today

Sacramento Kings vs. Orlando Magic, 5:00PM ET

The Magic made headlines earlier this week when they knocked off the Golden State Warriors, earning Draymond Green's praise to the young core they're building around Paolo Banchero. Orlando will look to win back to back games for the first time this year, and we like their chances.

The Kings have played surprisingly well without their best player, DeAaron Fox. But this is a trap spot, after losing to the Heat in Miami on Wednesday, the Kings have had two consecutive nights off in Florida before they take on the Magic. Expect a "hangover" both on and off the court, and for the Magic to take advantage.

BET: Magic +1.5 (-110) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, 8:00PM ET

Milwaukee is the class of the league right now, and playing their 7th home game in eight contests. The loss of Khris Middleton hasn't seemed to hamper the Bucks much, and we expect that to continue against the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder strung together four straight wins over the last two weeks, but that came to an end when they faced the first playoff-tested team they've played this season, the Denver Nuggets. OKC promptly lost by 12 at home, on a night when Nikola Jokic only scored 15 points. Giannis won't be held in check the same way Jokic did, and the Bucks should pull away big in this one.

Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs, 9:00PM ET

Speaking of Denver, they will get the benefits of hosting the San Antonio Spurs on the back end of a back to back, with San Antonio losing at home to the Clippers last night and traveling to Denver on a short trip. The Spurs have now lost two straight games, while Denver has won three of their last four.

The Spurs' post defense leaves much to be desired. While Jakob Poeltl has put up some gaudy offensive numbers, he isn't much of a pest to opposing big men down low. With the best offensive center in basketball heading his way, we expect some big numbers for both Jokic and the Nuggets here.
