Three out of four bets were successful yesterday, and Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets cleared over three units of profit! It was almost a sweep, but the Los Angeles Clippers lost at home. The Clippers were several analysts' predictions to win last year, but it appears the seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets broke them. James Harden’s lazy tendencies, Kahwhi’s inability to stay healthy, and their Head Coach being linked to possible gambling issues have somehow resulted in a complete lack of defensive effort. They look nothing like they did last season.

Three units are enough to cause joy, but it is short-lived as the NBA is back in action. There are six games today, two of which are nationally televised. Today, we return to three best bets and look to keep the momentum rolling.

 

 

 

NBA Best Bets Today, 11/11: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies at New York Knicks: Tuesday 11/11

Game Time: 7:30 PM ET | TV: NBA League Pass | Location: Madison Square Garden | Odds: NYK -9.5 | O/U 233.5

The New York Knicks have been lights out lately. They are on a four-game win streak and second in the Eastern Conference. Today, they host the Memphis Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden, and the two teams are moving in opposite directions. Memphis is 4 - 7, appears to have lost interest from their best player, and nothing seems stable.

The Knicks have outscored their opponents by 36, 23, 17, and 12 in their last four games. Now they host the struggling Grizzlies, and the line is set at -9.5. The spread is the best bet today as both Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson have been electric on the court. As of now, the Knicks are healthy; they did not start the season that way.

This has contributed to their success, but new Head Coach Mike Brown has spent three weeks in the NBA with his team. He’s starting to understand how they operate and how to put the team in situations they excel at. A -9.5 spread is high, even for basketball. However, the data and the current state of each franchise suggest that it will happen. Put a unit on this best bet today.

Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction Tuesday 11/11

Game Time: 8:00 PM ET | TV: NBC/Peacock | Location: Xfinity Mobile Arena | Odds: PHI -1.5 | O/U: 231.5

The first nationally televised match features the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Boston Celtics at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Both teams are in the middle of the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia’s record is 6 - 4, Boston’s is 5 - 6. The 76ers have a much better offense, though; they average 122.4 points to the Celtics' 112.8. An almost 10-point per game difference.

The expectation is that Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid will be mismatches throughout the game. Embiid is well rested, and although his production fell off a cliff steeper than the Grand Canyon, he can still be productive. Meanwhile, the 76ers' backcourt of Edgecombe and Maxey has been destroying opposing backcourts. The 76ers are Maxey’s team; he's their best player, and he plays like it.

The Celtics have moments of playing well, but the evidence has shown itself after three weeks. Jaylen Brown may have won the Eastern Conference MVP and NBA Finals MVP during their magical run, but this team is nowhere near competitive without Jayson Tatum. There were thoughts that it was Brown, particularly after the championship, who was responsible for the Celtics' success. That has proven false as Tatum did so much more than scoring. Ball handling, running the point, rebounding, playing great defense, and several other factors that don’t show up in the stat sheet. The Celtics are not only down their leader, but their best two-way player.

The -1.5 is the safer play, and for those who are happy with a low spread, put a unit on it. We went with a winning margin in a low spread yesterday, and Fantasy Alarm Best Bets is doing it today. Put a unit on the winning margin to be 1 - 10 for Philadelphia.

 

 

 

NBA King of the Court Prop Bet Today, 11/11

It’s Tuesday, and that means the King of the Court offer from Draftkings is on! For those not familiar, the King of the Court is a promotion that gives out $1,000,000 in bonus bets. It is divided amongst the bettors who choose the player with the most points + rebounds + assists (PRA). With only six games today, the bonus bets could be a smaller reward. But free money is almost always a delight.

There are a few good options today. Tyrese Maxey was the King of the Court two weeks ago; Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson are threats. Michael Porter has turned into a PRA machine for the Nets. There is also a battle between Stephen Curry and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who could each play well. But today’s best bet is on the best player in the Association, Nikola Jokic.

It’s not a debate either, although some try to make it one to fill time in their entertainment program. We are living in the Jokic era. Time has shown that the Embiid MVP was fictitious and unearned. Regardless, Jokic is and has been the best player of this decade. He’s thriving again this season, without needing to score as many points or play as many minutes.

Although there are several capable players, the only real threat to this wager is if the Denver Nuggets go up by too much against the Sacramento Kings. Forcing Jokic to sit the entire fourth quarter. Something he has done in multiple games this season. Domantas Sabonis is a great center, but questionable with banged-up ribs. Look for Jokic to dominate and ball out against his former teammate, Russell Westbrook.

The King of the Court promotion only requires a $5 wager, but a full unit is suggested. Make sure to opt in, select the promotion in the bet ticket, and cheer on Nikola Jokic in a late Tuesday night game.
