Well, three straight losses have taken a bite out of my NBA betting bankroll in the early going of the season. But luckily, I built up enough of a nest egg that we’re still good. And we’ll start building it back up tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, November 5th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, November 5th
Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
This season hasn’t been a total trainwreck for the Boston Celtics as some feared. Despite only having a 3-5 record, under the hood, the advanced stats like the Celtics ranking them as the seventh-best team in the Eastern Conference (not great, I know).
You know who is a train wreck? The Washington Wizards. I know, shocking. My line for this game tomorrow night is Boston -20(!!), so the Celtics on the spread is my play.
Best Bet: Boston -11 (-114)
New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks
Start Tme – 8:30 PM EST
Well, it finally happened – the New Orleans Pelicans finally won a basketball game (and on the day I picked against them, naturally). And they won despite Zion Williamson being on the sidelines for at least another week.
But can they win on the second night of a road back-to-back against the Mavericks in Dallas? I think (hope?) not. My line is Dallas -12.5, so the Mavs are the pick.
Best Bet: Dallas -6.5 (+110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 16-13 (55%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $141.67
Return on Investment: 5%
