NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, November 7th

As per usual, we’ve got a quiet Thursday in the NBA, with only three games on the slate. But that’s more than enough for me to cook up a couple of winning plays for us. Here’s your NBA predictions & preview for Thursday, November 7th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, November 7th

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

We’ve got a couple of teams with opposite records meeting tomorrow in Chicago, with the 4-3 Minnesota Timberwolves visiting the 3-4 Chicago Bulls. It’s not exactly the start Minnesota was hoping for, but probably a better start than Chicago was expecting.

And the visitors, the Wolves, on the spread is my play. Chicago will be without Lonzo Ball and probably Zach Lavine tomorrow, and are playing tonight while Minnesota is off. The Wolves should be around -12 for this game and we’re getting them for 6.5.

Best Bets: Minnesota -6.5 (-110)

Portland Trail Blazers vs San Antonio Spurs

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

My second NBA best bet for tomorrow is the San Antonio Spurs on the spread. Both the Spurs and the Portland Trail Blazers have a 3-5 record, but only San Antonio has Victor Wembanyama on their squad.

San Antonio played (and lost) on Wednesday night, but even taking that into account (NBA teams are about 2.5 points worse on the second night of a back-to-back), I think the Spurs should be favored by eight points on Thursday night at home. I’ll gladly take them at -4.

Best Bets: San Antonio -4 (-108)

Overall Record: 5-4 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $55.73
Return on Investment: 6%
