NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, November 29th

No NBA on Thanksgiving means all the players tomorrow night are going to be rested and ready to rock, right?! There’s no way they drank and ate too much on Thursday like the rest of us mere mortals did. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, November 29th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, November 29th

New Orleans Pelicans vs Memphis Grizzlies

Start Time – 5:00 PM EST

Boy oh boy is this a lost season in New Orleans, as the Pelicans are stinking up the joint. Despite this, we’re getting a favorable line for their game on the road in Memphis tomorrow night against the Grizzlies.

Despite continuous injuries, the Grizzlies are 12-7 and 8-3 at home. Advanced stats have them ranked as the seventh-best team in the NBA. This game should be Memphis -21 (yep, that high), so we’ve got plenty of value on the spread.

Best Bets: Memphis -11 (-112)

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers

Start Time – 10:00 PM EST

You can always count on the lines being skewed in Los Angeles Lakers games, and tomorrow is no different. Even with the best team in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder in town, the Lakers are favored.

So we’re taking advantage of this Lakers’ bias tomorrow night. When it comes to advanced stats, no team in the league comes close to the Thunder’s rating this season. Despite being on the road on Friday, I have this game handicapped as Oklahoma City -9. Let’s go!

Best Bets: Oklahoma City +1.5 (-120)

Overall Record: 35-16 (69%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1625.67
Return on Investment: 33%
