Best NBA Bets Today: Player Props & Expert Betting Picks

Finding the most profitable NBA picks and NBA player prop bets has never been easier. The newly updated OddsShopper is like the Amazon of sports betting. Simply filter, sort the page and find the best bets.

Clippers Moneyline (-145) Over Lakers

This contest marks the fourth and final time during the regular season. The Clippers have won the first three games against the arena mates and enter the game on a four-game winning streak, so there is no reason to believe that the Lakers will be able to salvage this one. However, expect another close one as the difference between the teams has been a total of eight points. OddsShopper gives the Clippers a 62% chance of winning the game with an expected ROI of 7%.

The Clippers have shot the ball exceptionally well against the Lakers and over the last four games overall, connecting on 48.3% of their tries from the field and 41.3% of their attempts from long distance. Reggie Jackson has been the catalyst for the Clippers during this stretch, leading six players in double-figures with 18.0 points and 8.0 assists.

Meanwhile, the Lakers have a plethora of problems and have struggled to put the ball in the hoop during their current three-game slide. On a positive note, Talan Tucker-Horton (sprained ankle) is likely to play tonight, while Avery Bradley (knee) could be available for the first time since April.

Nets Moneyline (-125) Over Heat

The line has dramatically changed since the morning line as Kevin Durant is slated to make his return to the court. Brooklyn is 12 games above .500 with him on the floor. Andre Drummond is also expected to play after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors due to a knee injury. Drummond as well as Seth Curry and Cam Thomas have played well over the last six games while Goran Dragic has also given them a little punch off the bench in limited time. Meanwhile, the Heat are coming off a tough, hard-fought setback to the Bucks last night and they have several injury concerns with P.J. Tucker, Jimmy Butler, Caleb Marti and Max Strus being questionable. Kyle Lowry will miss his third straight game due to personal reasons. Moreover, Miami is just 3-7 in the second game of back-to-backs. OddsShopper gives Brooklyn a 52% chance of winning the game.

Pistons Spread (+9.0) Over Raptors

The line has moved a smidge since this morning, however, still believe that it is way too high. Detroit has been playing relatively well over the last five contests, going 3-2 in those games with all three of the victories against top-10 teams in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons have also defeated the Raptors in each of the first two matchups of the season and Toronto may not have Fred VanVleet for the third straight game.
