Monday’s NBA Odds & Picks
(Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)
San Antonio Spurs @ Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the elite teams in the NBA. They average 119.5 points per game, which is the sixth-most points in the league. Joel Embiid dominates the court and can score points whenever he wants. There will be plenty of scoring tonight against the fifth-worst defense in the NBA.
San Antonio gives up plenty of points, so there will be many opportunities for Philadelphia to score points tonight. The Spurs are on the lower end offensively, but they can score enough points for this game to go over the total points line. The bettors can get good value from this game.
Bet: Total Points Over 238.5 (-110)
Chicago Bulls @ Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns are a talented team, but they have struggled to put it all together. They are 23-18 and just want to make the playoffs. They are a team to watch for the rest of the season, but tonight, they face an improved Chicago Bulls team.
The last time these teams played, the Suns won 116-115. The Bulls are getting better on both offense and defense, which will allow them to keep this game close. The Suns are talented enough to win this game, but Chicago's tough defense will keep the Suns’ score low. That makes it a value-betting play for the night.
Bet: Chicago Bulls +5.5 (-110)
Boston Celtics @ Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks have been inconsistent over the last five games, losing three of them. Some of those games lost were to the lower-end NBA teams and tonight, they face the most talented team in the NBA. The Mavericks have the talent to keep this game close, but their inconsistency is a concern for bettors.
The Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA. They have a complete roster from top to bottom and great depth. Their talented roster allows them to be the favorite to win any night. Boston has the most value of any team in the NBA right now.
Bet: Boston Celtics Moneyline (-135)
