Top Bet Games to Bet on
Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat (7:30 PM ET)
The Miami Heat will try to bounce back from a shocking home loss when they face last year’s first round opponents, the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. [sc:NBA240banner ]
The Boston Celtics’ Jeff Green delivered a buzzer-beating three-pointer to drop the Heat in their last game. Despite the loss, Miami is still 8-2 SU in its last 10 home games. Reigning MVP LeBron James has been battling some lower back pain, but his team-leading 24 points per game suggests his back hasn’t slowed him down much.
Odds: Bucks (+3.5) vs Heat (-3.5); O/U: 198.5
The King and co. will face OJ Mayo and the Bucks. Once touted as the next LeBron in his youth, the former phenom has been playing well for his new team. Mayo is leading the Bucks in scoring at 18.6 points/game, but he’ll need up his average if the Bucks are to hand the Heat a rare home losing streak. The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers (10:30 PM ET)
Just days after their last encounter, the Lakers and Pelicans will meet again for the second of a three-game season series, this time on LA’s home floor.
[sc:NBA490banner ]Last year’s no. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis thoroughly dominated the Lakers to the tune of 32 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks in New Orleans’ 96-85 victory last week. Davis and co. now head to LA to improve upon their 5-1 ATS record in the last 6 meetings at Staples Center.
Odds: Pelicans (-3.5) vs Lakers (+3.5); O/U: 198.5
They face a Lakers team who have now lost two consecutive games. After their defeat to New Orleans, the Lakers also lost their next game vs the Timberwolves, who dropped 47 first quarter points on them in LA. But the Lakers have recent history on their side, as they’ve won 9 of their last 10 home games vs the Pelicans.
