NBA Picks, Preview & Predictions for Thursday, Oct 29th
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Atlanta Hawks betrayed my trust in them on Wednesday, allowing the Miami Heat to get their first win of the season. But I still have faith in the Birds – don’t let me down again!
Despite their 2-3 record, the advanced stats rate Atlanta as the best team in the Eastern Conference, so the wins are bound to come. I have Atlanta as a decent favorite for this game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so they’re my play.
Best Bet: Atlanta +1.5 (-118)
Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
Here’s a stinky matchup between two 0-4 teams, the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans. But, like I’ve said before, we don’t have to watch the game to bet on it.
This is another game where I think the wrong team is favored. My number crunching has the Kings as a three-point favorite, so I’ll plug my nose and take them on the spread.
Best Bet: Sacramento +5.5 (-105)
2026/7 Overall Record: 6-12 (33%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($655.50)
Return on Investment: -36%
