2016-17 NBA Betting Tips – Thursday, November 24th
A day to forget yesterday with the Trailblazers and Bulls both blowing leads in the second half to end up in a 0-2 day and take our season total to 19-10 with winners coming at average odds of $1.92.
There is a huge slate of games this Thursday, November 24th (AEDT) due to the NBA’s day off for Thanksgiving tomorrow where the NFL takes centre stage.
A few of our best NBA bets for today listed below!
Boston Celtics @ Brooklyn Nets
Not often will we chase the high points and rebound total lines for the star players. Simply because the upside isn’t there and you’ll likely be sweating it out each game as the player finishes one or two points either side of the line.
Tonight however Issy Thomas the Celtics we are projecting will clear his line by as many as six points. The Nets have leaked fantasy points all year at the point guard position and Thomas will dominate the combination of Foye, Whitehead and Kilpatrick that he faces tonight. Expect the Celtics win a high scoring game and their best player goes off for 30 points.
Tip: I Thomas OVER 24.5 points @ $1.87 Sportsbet
Confidence level: 80%
Los Angeles Clippers @ Dallas Mavericks
What a rough start to the season it’s been for the Dallas Mavericks. They’ve been decimated by injuries, lost their last six and been blown out a few times by only average basketball teams. Thankfully for them they return home today to face the LA Clippers who sit 13-2 and are one of the best regular season teams in the league.
The Mavs however, welcome back King Dirk and Andrew Bogut should also play (listed as a GTD as of now). At home we can see this being closer than the oddsmakers currently have it. It’s the kind of games the old Clippers take the foot off the gas on, interesting to see how they handle it tonight.
Tip: Mavericks +10.5 @ $1.95 William Hill
Confidence level: 70%
Memphis Grizzlies @ Philadelphia 76ers
Gerald Henderson has been a great pick-up for the 76ers so far this season adding that veterans help to the wing position and help them compete on a nightly basis. During that time Dario Saric has averaged 10 points a game. His line on points for today is set at 8.5 with Henderson listed as doubtful due to an illness. Saric is one of a few players who will benefit from extra minutes if Henderson can’t go and his three-point range means he only needs four or five shots a night to be in a position to clear his line.
In fact, he’s cleared the 8.5 point line in six of his last eight games and although games against Memphis are normally low-scoring grinds we like the 76ers wing players tonight because the young studs inside (Okafor and Embiid) will have their work cut-out banging with Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and young JaMychal Green.
Tip: Dario Saric OVER 8.5 points @ $1.87 Sportsbet
Confidence level: 75%
