The dust of the early action in the NBA is starting to settle enough to get a tentative take on which teams are legit and which ones are aberrations. Which means we have profitable days ahead of us. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, November 18th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Tuesday, November 18th
Golden State Warriors vs Orlando Magic
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
We’ve got a short slate of games on Tuesday, so I’ve got to make more risky plays than I would like to. That would include taking the Orlando Magic tomorrow night when they host the Golden State Warriors.
My line for tomorrow’s game is Orlando -2.5, so getting the Magic at home plus points is a gift. However, Paolo Banchero is out tomorrow, and Jalen Suggs may be joining him. I still think the Magic can cover.
Best Bet: Orlando +3.5 (-109)
Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers
Start Time – 11:00 PM EST
Two of the Western Conference’s biggest pleasant surprise teams go at it tomorrow in Portland, as the Trail Blazers host the Phoenix Suns. Since this is the NBA, a host of key players will be sitting out or are questionable for the game.
The Suns are pretty lousy on the road – 2-4 thus far. My line is Portland -3.5, so the Blazers are my second home dog play of the day.
Best Bet: Portland +1.5 (-118)
2025/6 Overall Record: 30-24 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $308.05
Return on Investment: 6%
