NBA Best Bets Today, 10/29: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Wednesday
Yesterday was tricky as the Philadelphia 76ers could not cover the teased-up spread, and the Charlotte Hornets were blown away by the Miami Heat. Russell Westbrook went well over the plus odds proposition on his rebounds, and a ladder would have been very profitable. However, a successful plus odds prop is always great. The King of the Court best bet cashed the bonus too!Â
Giannis Antetokounmpo tied with Tyrese Maxey for the highest points + rebounds + assists total. They each logged 52, and thus the bonus was split. Everyone who followed our advice received a $20.00 bonus bet that should be used for an NBA betting future. Antetokounmpo's regular-season MVP went from +1300 yesterday to +1000 today. There are other awards and futures as well, such as Nikola Jokic Finals MVP at +700. Either way, put the best bet bonus on a future of your choice, and stretch out the bonus money.Â

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 10/29
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction: Wednesday 10/29
Game Time: 7:00 PM ET | TV: ESPN |Â Location:TD Garden |Â Odds:Â Cavaliers -3.5 | O/U 233.5
One of the nationally televised games today comes from TD Garden as the Boston Celtics host the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have a slight edge according to the bookies and are rewarded with a -4.5 spread. The total is set at 232.5 points, which is slightly higher than the average. That is expected as both teams attempt several field goals. That is also why the first best bet of today is a plus odds proposition on Jarrett Allen.
The betting angle is to take his over 8.5 rebounds in a match against a team that attempts several low percentage field goals. Allen has played 25 or more minutes in every game this season, but recorded over 8.5 rebounds just once. The Celtics have a weak front court, and Allen should outrebound whoever is lined up against him. Put a unit on this best bet today, and watch it live on ESPN.Â

Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons: Wednesday 10/29
- Game Time: 7:00 PM ET |Â TV: NBA League Pass |Â Location: Little Caesar Arena |Â Odds:Â ORL -1.5Â Â | O/U:Â 225.5
Prediction: Total Over 227.5 (-115 DraftKings Sportsbook)
There is another Eastern Conference showdown beginning at the same time. The Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic at Little Caesars Arena in what is a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview. The sportsbooks expect this to be a close game, with just one field goal separating the spread. As it currently sits, the Magic are -1.5 road favorites, but the best bet for this match is the total.
The Pistons are only averaging 110 points per game. But they had a dip in production on their second back-to-back games against the Cavaliers. They only scored 95 points in that match, and that dropped their point per game average. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic, who are known for their defense, have scored 125 and 124 points in two of the four matches this season. They are scoring in bunches this season, and that will continue against the Pistons.
Both of these teams are rested and should put up great offensive statistics. Put a unit on this best bet to go over 225.5 points.

NBA Prop Bets Today, 10/29
Domantas Sabonis and the Sacramento Kings played a tough game against the Oklahoma City Thunder last night, where they lost 107 - 101, and a match which Sabonis played 35 minutes. He earned 18 rebounds compared to scoring just 10 points.
Sabonis is a double-double machine, and 10 rebounds are within reach. But 14 rebounds on the second of back-to-back road games seems like a stretch. Especially with such great opposing rebounders. Put a unit on the best bet of under 13.5 rebounds today.
A parlay makes an appearance in the column, but it is straightforward. It is a three-fold moneyline parlay. It’s the Northwest Division parlay special, a parlay on the best division in basketball. All three teams are favored to win, and combining their projected wins gives out decent odds.
The Denver Nuggets are -12.5 favorites against the New Orleans Pelicans, so easily the most juiced-up odds of this parlay. The Portland Trail Blazers play the red-hot Utah Jazz in a battle of two surging Northwest Division teams. However, Portland is favored by -3.5 points, and is included on the parlay. The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Los Angeles Lakers, and are favored by -7.5 points. This best bet gives something to cheer for throughout the night, and as with most parlays, a half unit is suggested.
