Meatloaf is on the menu for the first time this season! For those new to the column, “meatloaf” is a reference to Meatloaf, the rock singer with an opera-quality voice. He has a hit ballad, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, and this is applied to Fantasy Alarm's best bets. When two out of three bets are successful, a profit almost always occurs. Such was the case yesterday.

There are nine games today, and several teams are playing in the second of back-to-back games. Today’s best bets are a mix of straight bets and player props. The first of which features the hottest team in the Association, a team with a six-game winning streak.

 

 


 

NBA Best Bets Today, 11/10: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Monday

Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons: Monday 11/10

Game Time: 7:00 PM ET | TV: Local | Location: Little Caesar Arena | Odds: DET -12.5 | O/U 234.5

The Washington Commanders played against the Detroit Lions yesterday. The Detroit Pistons host the Washington Wizards today. The Detroit team destroyed the Washington team yesterday, and the expectation is for the Detroit team to destroy the Washington team again. However, the Wizards have the highest spread of the day, +12.5, and the best bet is on them to cover it.

The Pistons played the Philadelphia 76ers in a competitive game until 10:00 PM ET last night. One that was separated by three points, and then they traveled back to Detroit. Today, they welcome a Wizards team that is also playing the second of back-to-back games. The Wizards are off to their typical start. A record of 1 - 9, and a -16.9 point differential. 

The Wizards had four players sit due to the coach's decision, and they almost won against the Dallas Mavericks. The expectation is for the Pistons to come out sluggish and for the Wizards to take advantage. Even though this is the Eastern Conference’s best versus worst, they should keep this game close. Put a unit on this best bet today.

Milwaukee Bucks at Dallas Mavericks Prediction Monday 11/10

Game Time: 8:30 PM ET | TV: Local | Location: American Airlines Center | Odds: MIL -2.0 | O/U: 231.5

The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a hard-earned victory against the Washington Wizards. The Milwaukee Bucks also played yesterday and lost in a tough match against the Houston Rockets. Although both teams played, and Milwaukee has to travel after a loss, the best bet is on the Bucks to win the match.

They are currently -2.0 favorites to win, and instead of taking a close spread or moneyline, a win margin is suggested. The odds are expectationally better for the margin of victory to be one through ten. The Bucks have a better roster, but could be resting a player or two, possibly even Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Mavericks were already dealing with injuries prior to tonight.

The only real concern for this bet is the Bucks winning by more than ten points. Expect Doc Rivers to get Milwaukee a victory by less than ten points. Put a unit on this best bet today.

 

 

 

NBA Prop & Parlay Bet Today, 11/10

Donovan Mitchell has been a force for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is playing at an MVP level to begin the season, and will look to lead his team to a victory against the red-hot Miami Heat. Mitchell has scored over 25.5 points in three of his last four matches and six games this season. 

The Miami Heat have allowed 118 points per game this season, and the Cavaliers have averaged 120.7 points per game. The Heat have a great backcourt, but stopping Mitchell will be difficult. Miami has also given up on playing defense, as most of their games are fast-paced with quick possessions. Put a unit on “Spida” to do what he does best: score several points against a poor defense. 

The parlay today is a simple moneyline on two teams that are heavily favored to win. The Minnesota Timberwolves moneyline on the road against the Utah Jazz. And the Los Angeles Clippers are defending their home court against the Atlanta Hawks. This best bet comes in at just over even odds, and the better teams should prevail. Put a unit on this parlay today.
