NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/20

Before we look at today's NBA Best Bets, let's review how yesterday went. It was a mixed bag of results, but the Bet of the Night was successful in what lived up to be a thrilling game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. Also, the +120 prop bet on veteran Chris Paul was successful. He ended the night with a double-double as the San Antonio Spurs upset the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ben Simmons scored 10 points, proving not to bet against the Law of Averages, it is science after all. Anthony Davis had a great rebounding night and just went over the hook, earning 14 in another NBA Cup victory for the Lakers. Let's now turn the page to Wednesday's NBA picks and props. 

 

 

 

Hawks vs. Warriors Prediction: Wednesday, 10/20

(0.5 Unit on ALT line Bets Of The Night)

Jalen Johnson is underrated outside of Atlanta Hawks fans and fantasy hoop heads. He is arguably the Hawks' best player and if not, he is the unquestioned second-best player. He could be a potential All-Star alternate this season, which would give him attention and possibly a bigger salary.

Johnson has scored 18 or more points in the last eight games he has played, and 20 or more in six of those. The Law of Averages is on our side as we need him to simply earn his average against a team that won’t have a defender who can match up with him. 

Jalen Johnson should easily cover his set line of 17.5 points, so put a unit on it. Put a half unit on the step-up alternate point total of 20+ points. A successful two-bet night would be a great introduction of Johnson to Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets.

 

 

 

Bulls vs. Bucks Prediction: Wednesday, 11/20

Zach LaVine can light it up against any opponent, even if he is not the young player he once was. He is still electrifying and plays with bursts of energy that make him impossible to defend. He can play at the ferocity and pace that Giannis Antetokounmpo plays with, which will be LaVine’s opponent tonight.

LaVine’s teammate, Patrick Williams, will likely be out, putting more duties on Lavine as the starting forward. The Milwaukee Bucks allow 112.6 points per game, and the Bulls score over 116 points per game. LaVine will have plenty of opportunities to earn his season average of 21.6, and possibly his career 25 points per game average against Milwaukee. Put a unit on him.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/20

The late game today takes place at the Intuit Dome, as the Los Angeles Clippers host the Orlando Magic. The Magic have been surprising everyone with their success without Paolo Banchero.

The Magic have the longest winning streak in the Association (6) and are 2.5-point favorites on the road against a tough Clippers team. The bet from this match avoids the straight bets, as they seem like a toss-up. Instead, it focuses on the biggest man on the court.

 

 

 

Magic vs. Clippers Prediction: Wednesday, 11/20

Ivica Zubac has been hit or miss for this column, but the pick is for him to earn over 11.5 rebounds today. He is averaging 12.4 rebounds on the season and is rested for this matchup in which the Magic will be without Banchero once again.

Although Orlando has found ways to win without him, there is a void in their rebounding. They still are a top-ten rebounding team, holding opponents to an average of 50.9 per game. However that number increases to 53.3 on the road, and Zubac is a great rebounder.

Zubac’s line is juiced but should be an easy winner against a young Orlando frontcourt. Look for him to clear his average. Put a unit on the long-time Clipper to do work on his home court.
