NBA 11/5

Los Angeles Lakers @ Chicago Bulls (LAL -7, 215) 8 PM
Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers (BOS -6, 213.5) 7:05 PM

A Lakers/Celtics parlay is my play here. It speaks for itself. Both the Lakers and Celtics are strong defensive teams playing against the Bulls and Cavs, two weak offensive teams. Take the Moneylines just to be sure.

Bet: Lakers ML/Celtics ML
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Lakers 118 Bulls 112; Celtics 119 Cavs 113

Indiana Pacers @ Charlotte Hornets (IND -3.5, 212) 7 PM

If you want to bet on the Pacers game tonight, I am kind of nervous about them going into Charlotte and coming out with a win, but there is some value on the under. Charlotte has scored 101 or less in 4 of their last 5 games, while the Pacers have allowed 96 or less in 3 of their last 4 games. The Pacer’s offense is no juggernaut, scoring less than 110 in 5 of their last 6 while the Hornets defense hasn’t allowed more than 111 in their last 3 games.

Bet: Under 212
Confidence: 1 Unit
Result: Pacers 120 Hornets 122 OT

San Antonio Spurs @ Atlanta Hawks (SA -5.5, 221.5) 7:30 PM

Take the under in this game. All 5 of the Hawks’ games have hit under the 221.5 total, with 117 being the highest total in any of their games this season. Spurs games have hit this total in 4 of their 6 games, but with this game being in Atlanta, look for the home team to control the pace.

Bet: Under 221.5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Spurs 100 Hawks 108

Orlando Magic @ Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC -2.5, 202) 8 PM

Here’s the NBA Play of the Night. Take Orlando’s team total of 100.5 to hit the under. The Magic have yet to score more than 99 points in any game this season. The Thunder’s defense must be terrible for this line to be where it is, right? The Thunder have allowed less than 104 points in 5 of their last 6 games. The three teams that have score the most points against them this season are Portland 102 (114.4 ppg) New Orleans 104 (119.3 ppg) and Houston 116 (119.3 ppg) all held under their season averages. The Magic’s average ranks last in the NBA with 93.5.

Bet: ORL Team Total Under 100.5
Confidence: 6 Units
Result: Magic 94 Thunder 102

Today’s Record: 3-1
All-Time Record: 3-1
