NBA Best Bets Today, 11/2: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Sunday
Bilal Coulibaly did not come through for the double unit best bet yesterday. However the teased Houston Rockets spread. A ladder should have been built as the game was an easy prediction for the Rockets to win. They won by 27 points. Ryan Rollins was able to cover his 14.5 point proposition, despite Giannis Antetokounmpo playing.
The Dallas Mavericks versus Detroit Pistons match in Mexico City held the last best bet of the day. The Naji Marshall best bet of under 9.5 points was one to sweat out due to Marshall getting five quick points. However he ended with only 7 points and the bet was successful.Today there are eight games, and there are a few propositions, and an upset pick that leads the best bets of today.

Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks Prediction: Sunday 11/2
Game Time: 7:00 PM ET | TV: NBA League Pass |Â Location: Madison Square Garden |Â Odds:Â NY -6.5 | O/U 235.5
Prediction: CHI Moneyline (+210 DraftKings Sportsbook)
This column predicted the Chicago Bulls would win against the New York Knicks for the NBA Cup match Friday. Now the odds are higher, but the recommendation is the same, for Chicago to win once again. New York is not the team they were last year, but the sportsbooks are cashing in on fans believing they are.
The Chicago Bulls are much better, but still being undervalued by the public and media as whole. Despite being the better team across almost all statistical categories, they are +210 underdogs. Chicago has the better record 5-0 to 2-3, scores more points per game 122.8 to 113.4, and they allow less points per game 114.0 to 115.4. The Knicks are favorites on name only, put a unit on the Bulls to win again. This time at Madison Square Garden.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Prediction Sunday 11/2
Game Time: 6:00 PM ET |Â TV: Local |Â Location: Scotiabank Arena |Â Odds:Â TOR -5.5 | O/U:Â 238.5
Prediction: Santi Aldama Over 6.5 Rebounds (-146 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Santil Aldama is a player Fantasy Alarm has been monitoring. A big man that has improved his ability to score from beyond the arc. One that is getting much more playing time with Zach Edey out with an injury. The Memphis Grizzlies are a mess, including the fact that Ja Morant has been suspended for this game by the organization. Their opponent is the Toronto Raptors who have a 2024 All-Star in their back court. As it currently sits the Raptors are -5.5 point favorites, and Memphis will need to play with max effort to get a win on the road.
Luckily Aldama is a unique player with a skill set that will create issues for the Raptors. He’s averaging 24.0 minutes per game, but played 26 and 31 minutes the last two games. He has also recorded 10 rebounds in each of those games. He has recorded over 6.5 rebounds in three of the last four Memphis games. The Raptors have height but Aldama is a true seven foot. He towers over all. Put a unit Aldama to cover a 6.5 rebounding line.

NBA Prop Bets Today, 11/2
Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 Blocks (-132 FanDuel Sportsbook)
Victor Wembanyama is an elite basketball player, who plays just as great defense as he does offense. He has a total of 24 blocks this season, and at one point last year this was an automatic best bet for Fantasy Alarm. His blocks are set at 3.5 for the match against the Phoenix Suns.Â
He has five or more blocks in three of the last four games. The Suns do not have a consistent scorer outside of Devin Booker.Put a unit on Wembanyama to keep his excellent defensive numbers up against the lowly Suns.
Luka Doncic Over 33.5 Points (-110 FanDuel Sportsbook)
Luka Doncic is thriving in Los Angeles, and has a feature role. It is without question Luka Doncic’s team, and with Lebron James out another game, Doncic will be asked to shoulder a bigger responsibility. The Miami Heat are averaging 125.4 points per game, and the Lakers are going to need to score early and often to keep pace. This is a stu;e of game Doncic enjoys playing.Â
He has scored over 33.5 points in every game he’s played this season. In fact he’s scored 43 or more in every game. Look for that to continue, but don’t tease up the points. Over 33.5 at -110 is fantastic odds. Put a unit for Doncic to be a scoring force once again.Â
