Best NBA Bets Today

76ers vs. Spurs, 6:00PM ET

A hungry 76ers team will get a shot at the Spurs next, hosting San Antonio in the first game of Saturday. It's the second game in two nights for the Spurs, who played the Pacers in Indiana last night. 

The Sixers have advantages at every position here, against a Spurs team that would be wise to throw themselves into the Wemby sweepstakes. Add in the fact that they're in the midst a back to back, and the Sixers will surely be motivated to get their first win of the season in extraordinary fashion? We like Philly to run this one up.

BET: 76ers -13.5 (-110) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️.

Bucks vs. Rockets, 8:00PM ET

In a similar spot here, the Rockets have a short trip to Milwaukee after laying the Grizzlies last night in Houston. While the Bucks are banged up, they still looked like an Eastern conference contender in their first game of the season, a two-point win on the road against the 76ers. Giannis is the best player alive, and Jrue Holiday shot just 2-15 in Game 1, look for him to play much better against the lowly Rockets in the Bucks' first home game of the season.

BET: Bucks -12.5 (-110) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️.

Cavaliers vs. Bulls, 8:00PM ET

The theme of the day is fading back to backs! Just like the Spurs and Rockets, the Bulls will be off the heels of a red eye flight from Washington DC, where they played the Wizards yesterday and now return to Chicago for their first home game of the season. They'll face the new-look Cavs, led by former Jazz star Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell had 31 points and nine assists in his Cleveland debut, and we're expecting more of the same here. We like Cleveland with fresh legs to steal a win on the road here.
