NBA Best Bets Today, 11/4: Picks, Predictions & Player Props - Monday
The three games yesterday proved to be exciting and on a rare NBA Best Bets day, the plus odds bet came through, but the heavily juiced lines did not. Luka Doncic led all players yesterday in points, rebounds, and assists which was at +200. Cade Cunningham was close to seven assists but could not overcome getting off the hook.
Trae Young had zero made threes at halftime, but the Atlanta Hawks came out and made a message. Young made 5 threes in the second half as Atlanta scored 68 points and blew by the New Orleans Pelicans.
NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/4
There are 11 games today, and with so many bets it can make NBA predictions a bit overwhelming. There are some very tempting lines in games in which teams are playing back-to-back and a few others that look tempting but could be a blowout.
With that in mind there are three NBA best bets in today’s column; one parlay and two player props, one of which is at plus odds.
Raptors vs. Nuggets Prediction: Jokic To Record A Triple-Double (+190 on BetMGM) *Bet Of The Night
The rarely featured, triple-double is today’s bet of the night. Nikola Jokic is climbing up the triple-double all-time list and has a great opportunity to add to his total tonight. The last time the Nuggets played the Raptors Jokic focused on scoring, not passing. He put up a season high 40 points, but a season low 4 assists.
Jokic only has two triple-doubles this season but has been within one more rebound or assists in three games this season. He is still a leading candidate for the MVP award, and is averaging 29.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9.8 assists this season.
With Jamal Murray ruled out while in the concussion protocol Jokic could have a new focus in this match. He could be more of a pass first option. The Nuggets are playing on their home court after a day’s rest, and all players should have fresh legs and a couple good nights of sleep.
Put a unit on Nikola Jokic to have his third triple-double of the season to start our NBA best bets today.
Los Angeles Lakers ML+ Los Angeles Clippers ML (+102 Parlay on DraftKings)
The second plus odds bet today is on a two fold parlay, with one city in mind. The Los Angeles Clippers are still seeking their first win at their new stadium, The Intuit Dome, and perhaps the fifth time's the charm.
The Clippers host the San Antonio Spurs and although both teams are in the bottom of the Western Conference, the Clippers have looked like the better team. They are four point favorites today and James Harden should have a nice day against the Spurs backcourt.
The Los Angeles Lakers continue their road tour and tonight are playing against the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are playing in back-to-back games and their game yesterday was on the road. It is a quick 24 hour turn around for them and the Lakers are well rested.
The Lakers are 7-point favorites, and instead of taking a spread against each team this wager just needs both LA teams to earn a victory. Should they do that this portion of NBA picks returns over a unit in profit.
Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/4
There are several player props for today’s NBA best bets, with several options available it is tempting to lay units everywhere.
But this is the best player prop found through the lines today due to the fact that the sportsbooks have not caught up to his new reality.
Raptors vs. Nuggets Props: Gradey Dick Over 19.5 Points (-105 on DraftKings)
Scottie Barnes’ injury was a big blow to the Toronto Raptors, as he is unquestionably their leader and best player. In his absence Gradey Dick has stepped up his play, particularly with scoring. The second year Raptor is more than doubling his average from last year.
During the three games without Barnes, Dick has scored 30, 31, and 22 points. He has played 30 or more minutes in five straight games, and although the Nuggets defense is improving, they are not a top ten defense. The Raptors will have plenty of opportunities to score and Dick has been attempting several three-point attempts.
Dick has attempted six or more three point field goals in all but one game this season, and has made 10 in the games without Scottie Barnes. Dick will be utilized to drive to the hole in addition to his long range field goals, but he should have an offensive advantage over Christian Braun. Put a unit at almost even odds for the young Raptor to keep his streak of over 19 points going today.
