NBA Picks November 10th
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio Spurs
Tipoff – 8:00 pm EST
Spread: Timberwolves -6.5
Total: 225
The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to a great start to the regular season, posting a record of 5-2 and 5-2 ATS. Further, the Timberwolves have quality wins this season, handing the Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics their first losses of the season.
Additionally, the Timberwolves are the #1 defensive-rated team thus far in the NBA. In fact, each game the Timberwolves have won this season has come by a minimum of seven points. It’s the complete opposite story for the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs are the worst defensive-rated team in the NBA. Furthermore, in the five losses the Spurs have suffered, they are allowing 130 points per game and have allowed each of those opponents to score a minimum of 123+ points. I will take the better defensive team and fade the Spurs’ defense in this matchup!
Best Bet: Timberwolves -6.5
Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics
Tipoff – 7:30 pm EST
Spread: Celtics -11.5
Total: 228.5
The Boston Celtics are coming into this game tonight, having suffered two losses in a row at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers. The offense did not look particularly sharp in those two games for the Celtics. Tonight, the Celtics will welcome the Brooklyn Nets to Beantown.
These two teams matched up earlier this season in Brooklyn, where the Celtics won 124-114. I am expecting the Celtics to bounce back here tonight. The Nets defense comes into this game with a rating of 114.5 which ranks #24 in the entire league. Both Tatum and Brown did not have great shooting nights against the Sixers, but I expect them to bounce back tonight.
Further, in four of the five wins the Celtics have this season, they have scored at least 119 points. Expect a big offensive game tonight from the Celtics.
Best Bet: Celtics TT Over 118.5
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns
Tipoff – 10:00 pm EST
Spread: Suns -3.5
Total: 225.5
The Lakers have looked atrocious on the road thus far this season, posting a 0-5 record and 1-4 ATS. In particular, the Lakers have got out to slow starts. In fact, the Lakers have the second-worst offensive and defensive rating in the first half and the worst net rating thus far.
Meanwhile, the Suns did see the return of Bradley Beal to their lineup on Wednesday night, which only takes the pressure off of Kevin Durant. Further, the Suns have the 5th best defensive rating in the first half and the 8th-best net rating. I will continue to fade the Lakers to start the game.
Best Bet: Suns 1H ML -140
YTD Record: 3-0
