The Atlanta Hawks ran into a hot scorer in CJ McCollum. He set season-high marks in a match the Washington Wizards won wire-to-wire. McCollum scored 46 points and made 10 threes in an NBA Cup performance for the ages. Unfortunately, the Hawks could not earn enough to cover the original line, forget about the teased-up line.

The Orlando Magic covered the -2.5 spread by 38 points, and clearly the wrong team had the ladder bet on them. That is okay, the spread was successful, and a bet was won. Doncic’s 50+ points + rebounds + assists line was almost completed in the first half, and he easily went on to win the King of the Court. That makes four successful King of the Court predictions out of six weeks! This time, it brought a bonus bet of $25. Which can be placed however you would like it to be; on one of today’s best bets, the Toronto Raptors to win the NBA Cup (+950), Nikola Jokic Finals MVP (+550). As Pink Floyd states, ‘Whatever colour you like’.

As for today’s best bets, and no NBA tomorrow, it’s a plus odds extravaganza. Three plus odd bets, and a bankroll-building day large enough for two days. Just like The Decision in 2010, we are taking our talents to South Beach.

 

 

 

NBA Best Bets Today, 11/26: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Wednesday NBA Cup

Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat: Wednesday 11/26

Game Time: 7:30 PM ET | TV: Local | Location: Kaseya Center | Odds: -8.5 | O/U 237.5

The Miami Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks at the Kaseya Center in an East Group C, NBA Cup showdown. These are the top two teams of the group; the Bucks are 2 - 0, and Miami is 2 - 1. Miami has a +47 point differential, and Milwaukee has +29. If Miami wins, they will increase their point differential and essentially lock up the group.

Miami has been blowing teams away with offense. They have won five in a row, have a +6.0 point differential, and are averaging 123.9 points per game. Yet are expected to score less against the Bucks at home? With Tyler Herro back in the fold, their offense has league-leading potential. They are third in the Eastern Conference, and with an opportunity to get out of the group stage, they will be playing with effort.

It’s Wednesday evening NBA Cup action at the Kaseya Center. Expect Miami to cover the teased-up team total of 125.5 points, three more than their average. The odds on this bet moved from +160 last night to +121, and it is the best bet of today.

Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics: Wednesday 11/26

Game Time: 5:00 PM ET | TV: ESPN | Location: TD Garden | Odds: DET -2.5 | O/U: 230.5

The first NBA Cup game of Wednesday is the Eastern Conference’s first-place team versus the Eastern Conference’s most iconic team. The Boston Celtics host the Detroit Pistons at TD Garden in an early 5:00 PM ET match. Despite the six-game difference, the spread is only -2.5 in favor of the visiting team. This is the reason Fantasy Alarm teased up the spread.

This best bet is slightly teased up, a total of two points, a field goal. Teasing up the spread had more value than teasing up the Pistons team total, or betting on a winning margin, which has more risk. A field goal tease moves this line from -110 to +116, which is much better odds. This is yet again betting smart and benefiting from it financially. 

Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren are the best young frontcourt/backcourt duo in the Association. Trust them to secure an NBA Cup victory. Put a unit on this best bet at FanDuel today, and readers new to the sportsbook, make sure to take advantage of the promotional offer below.

 

 


 

NBA Parlay Bet Today, 11/26

The last NBA Cup best bet is a player prop in the most interesting match of the day. The Oklahoma City Thunder host their divisional rival, the Minnesota Timberwolves, at the Paycom Center. This is the second match on ESPN after Detroit vs Boston, and before the Houston Rockets versus the Golden State Warriors. The bet is on veteran Rudy Gobert and his great rebounding ability.

The Timberwolves are 2 - 1 in the NBA Cup with a point differential of +53. The Thunder are 2 - 0 with a point differential of +63. The Timberwolves can take control of West Group A, but they will need to win the rebounding game. That is where Rudy Gobert comes into play. 

He is the best rebounder on their team and is averaging 10.2 rebounds per game. He needs to earn one over his average for this wager to be successful. Gobert is more athletic than Isaiah Hartenstein and stronger than Chet Holmgren. Expect Gobert to earn 11 rebounds against the Thunder. Put a unit on this plus odds best bet today.
