NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/9

Our NBA best bets for Monday are the Cavaliers -8.5 in Charlotte and the Wizards +10.5 in Detroit, as long as Anthony Davis plays. On the prop side, we're featuring Dyson Daniels Over 11.5 rebounds plus assists and Cedric Coward Over 6.5 rebounds, with more player props listed below. Shop around before you bet.

 

 

 

Cavaliers vs. Hornets Prediction: Monday, 11/9

Pick: Cavaliers -8.5

Charlotte has the worst offense in the NBA, and it isn't close. The Hornets score just 97.0 points per 100 possessions, according to ESPN's Hollinger team stats, the lowest mark in the league, and they rank last in both effective field goal percentage (46.7%) and true shooting percentage (50.8%).

The injury report makes it worse. Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Grant Williams, and Dennis Schroder are all out, and Charlotte has lost six straight games. The Hornets also turn the ball over on 16.8% of their possessions, second-worst in the league, which plays right into the hands of a Cleveland team that ranks ninth in offensive efficiency at 113.2.

Charlotte's defense ranks in the bottom 10 at 112.8 points allowed per 100 possessions, so the Cavaliers should be able to score at will. The risk is Cleveland's inconsistency at 5-5, but against a team this short-handed, we'll lay the points. Cavaliers -8.5 is our first of Monday's NBA best bets.

Wizards vs. Pistons Prediction: Monday, 11/9

Pick: Wizards +10.5 (if Anthony Davis plays)

This pick depends on Anthony Davis. He's questionable with a right ankle sprain after missing Washington's last two games, and the Wizards were blown out 114-75 in Oklahoma City on Saturday without him. If Davis is ruled out, pass on this one.

If he plays, the setup favors Washington. Detroit is on the second night of a back-to-back after hosting the Lakers on Sunday; the Pistons have lost two straight, and they're still without All-NBA center Jalen Duren. Detroit ranks 22nd in defensive rebound percentage, and without Duren, a healthy Davis gives Washington a real edge inside.

Detroit's defense is the best in the league at 100.2 points allowed per 100 possessions, so the Wizards won't score easily, but double-digit spreads leave a lot of room on a tired team. The line has already dropped from 11.5 to 10.5. Wizards +10.5 rounds out our game picks among today's NBA best bets, with Davis' status as the deciding factor.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/9

Dyson Daniels Over 11.5 Rebounds + Assists

Daniels has cleared this line in four straight games, posting 13, 24, 21, and 17 rebounds plus assists in November while averaging 11.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists. He's playing 31 to 35 minutes a night.

The tracking data supports it. Daniels leads Atlanta with 14.6 rebound chances per game and ranks second with 9.6 potential assists, a combination of volume few guards can match.

The Lakers rebound just 49.3% of available boards and play at a 102.8 pace, so there should be plenty of misses and transition chances in a competitive game.

Cedric Coward Over 6.5 Rebounds

Coward has grabbed at least seven rebounds in all eight of his games, averaging 8.8 per game with nine in each of his last three.

He's averaging 15.3 rebound chances per game, third on Memphis, and converting 57.4% of them. That's a steady floor for a 6.5-rebound line.

Toronto plays at the third-fastest pace in the league and rebounds at just a 50.8% rate, which should create plenty of opportunities in a game Memphis enters as a 3.5-point underdog.

More player props we like on Monday's slate:

  • Trae Young Over 8.5 Assists: Young is averaging 8.9 assists on 17.8 potential assists per game and has cleared this line in seven of his 10 games.
  • Aaron Nesmith Under 1.5 Three-Pointers: Dallas allows a league-best 30.6% from three, and Nesmith is just 4-of-17 from deep in November.
