Celtics vs. 76ers Prediction: Tuesday, 11/10

Pick: 76ers Moneyline

The records look similar, with Philadelphia at 9-2 and Boston at 8-2, but the paths to get there have been very different. The Celtics have played one of the easiest schedules in the NBA, while the 76ers have faced a tougher slate and still sit atop the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia's defense has been elite, allowing 104.3 points per 100 possessions, third-best in the league according to ESPN's Hollinger team stats. The 76ers also take care of the ball with an 11.8 turnover ratio, among the lowest in the NBA. They're 4-1 at home, and Jaylen Brown's first game against his former team adds an emotional edge.

Boston's offense is the risk, ranking eighth at 113.9 points per 100 possessions, and the Celtics are favored at some books. But the market has this as essentially a coin flip, and with home court and a tested roster, we'll take Philadelphia straight up. 76ers moneyline is our first of Tuesday's NBA best bets.

Thunder vs. Trail Blazers Prediction: Tuesday, 11/10

Pick: Trail Blazers +1.5

Oklahoma City is still depleted by injuries, and while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can take over any game, the Thunder's supporting cast has been thin. Oklahoma City ranks just 18th in offensive efficiency at 109.6 points per 100 possessions.

Portland has been one of the best stories in the West at 6-3, with the fifth-most efficient offense in the league at 115.1 points per 100 possessions. They've done it while short-handed, too. Ja Morant has been out since suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on Oct. 29 and won't be re-evaluated until late November, and Shaedon Sharpe is out after meniscus surgery. Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday and Deni Avdija have kept the offense humming, and Portland rebounds well at a 56.1% rate.

Both teams are missing key pieces, but Portland has proven it can win without Morant, and it's a true Western Conference contender. Getting 1.5 points at home is too good to pass up. Trail Blazers +1.5 rounds out our game picks among today's NBA best bets.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/10

Darius Acuff Over 31.5 Points + Assists

Acuff has posted 42, 30, 34, 30, 43 and 48 points plus assists over his last six games, averaging 37.8 and clearing this line four times. His two misses both landed at 30.

As the primary ball handler for a 1-9 Sacramento team, his usage is locked in, and he's producing as both a scorer and a passer alongside Domantas Sabonis.

Orlando ranks 24th in defensive efficiency and allows opponents to shoot 48.2% from the floor and 37.8% from three, ranking 24th and 25th. With a 221.5 total and a 5.5-point spread, the game should stay competitive enough to keep him on the floor late.

Jaylen Brown Over 22.5 Points

Brown has cleared this number in three of his last four games, and Tuesday is his first meeting with the Celtics since the trade. He's been a key creator for a 9-2 Philadelphia team.

The revenge angle is impossible to ignore. Brown gave the Celtics 10 seasons, a 2024 title and a Finals MVP before Boston traded him to a conference rival. He's been playing like a spiteful ex all season, and there's no bigger stage to prove a point than a first-place showdown against Jayson Tatum and the team that moved on from him.

Boston's defense ranks fourth in efficiency and plays a slow, half-court style, which is the risk. But in a high-profile game between the East's top two teams, Brown should be aggressive from the opening tip.

Philadelphia will lean on him heavily, and his familiarity with Boston's defensive schemes is a real edge.

More player props we like on Tuesday's slate:

  • Darryn Peterson Over 18.5 Points: With Keyonte George out, Peterson's usage climbs to 24.4% without George and Jaren Jackson on the floor, and Miami allows 115.1 points per 100 possessions.
  • Tristan da Silva Over 13.5 Points: Da Silva has cleared this line in three of his last four games and six of nine, and Sacramento allows a league-worst 49.7% shooting from the floor.
