Welcome to the NBA Best Bets today for Wednesday, November 27th. Three NBA player props dominate today’s column, and we start off with a familiar face. A player that won us eight bets in a row last year, and 13 out of 15 in a five-week period. Yes, my friends, it’s time to turn to last year’s well for our NBA picks. Bet Smart, Be Lucky - Iggy

*All odds accurate at time of writing and NBA best bets to be placed at 1 unit unless specified otherwise

 

 

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/27

One of three bets cashed in yesterday, but the one that did was at plus odds. Therefore the impact was minimum, just under a unit loss total. Chris Paul barely did anything, and Anthony Davis was three points away from his point total in an embarrassing loss for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Rudy Tomjanovich taught us to never underestimate the heart of a champion, and Doc Rivers put on a marvelous coaching display without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks won by three points and if you waited to take the moneyline until after the news Antetokounmpo was out, well done! The odds jumped significantly from what was already a plus odds straight bet.

 

 

 

Raptors vs. Pelicans Prediction: Wednesday, 11/27

*Bet Of The Night

Welcome Back, Mr. Scottie Barnes. Not just to the column, but to the NBA. Any fan of good basketball can appreciate the style and effort that Scottie Barnes displays. He does whatever is needed to help the Toronto Raptors get a victory.

One night it could be him being the top scorer on the floor, the next night it could be him being a court general - dishing out passes to the mismatches. The following game it could be that they need him crashing the boards, and he can walk away as the leading rebounder for both teams. 

His minutes, points, and rebounds have increased in every game since his return on November 21st. In his most recent game his stat line was; 37 minutes, 31 points, 12-26 field goal rate, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 made three point attempts. It is safe to say he is healthy and back to playing at an elite level. 

Today, Scottie Barnes and the Toronto Raptors play the New Orlean Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center. Two out of Barnes’ last three games have been on the road and that has never hampered his statistics. He earned a double-double against the Detroit Pistons in his most recent game, and the Pelicans do not have nearly as good a front court as the Pistons.

The expectation is for Barnes to have 10+ rebounds in addition to 20+ points. However that is a benefit from a player that led the league in triple-doubles for a brief moment last year. He can get 10 or more points, rebounds, or assists against any team, on any night. This bet doesn’t care which two stats get to 10, it just needs two… and Scottie Barnes is the guy to do it. 

 

 

 

Heat vs. Hornets Prediction: Wednesday, 11/27

Brandon Miller makes his first appearance on Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets, and for good reason too. The man has been a rebounding machine. In his last three games he has a combined 28 rebounds, with totals of 10, 11, and 7. 

His line is lower due to the fact that the Hornets big men have been injured. Nick Richards, Mark Williams, and Miles Bridges have been injured, but could make a return this week. However, that does not deter us from betting on the starting shooting guard’s rebounding abilities. 

Miller has played over 38 minutes in his last four games, and five of his last seven. In addition to the aforementioned injuries, Tre Mann is injured and Seth Curry (Miller’s backup) is not taking away minutes from Miller. 

Although only 22 years old, Miller is a fundamental piece of what the Hornets have going forward. Look for the young man to continue to see several minutes and cover his rebounding line of 5.5 with a double unit hammer.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/27

Scottie Barnes may have been the well last year, but this year it is big man Nikola Vucevic. The Montenegrin has been building our bankroll better than a bricklayer in the early 20th century. We return him again today for a plus odds prop. 

 

 

 

Bulls vs. Magic Prediction: Wednesday, 11/27

We can’t quit you Nikola Vucevic nor this prediction. Vucevic only made 1 three in his most recent game against the Washington Wizards, but we did not bet on him during that match. The four games prior to the Wizards, he made two or more threes in every game, and we bet on him to do so.

Today, the Chicago Bulls travel to the swampy state of Florida to take on the Orlando Magic, where Vucevic played nine years. In total he played 591 games for the Magic, and was in the era of great centers for Orlando; Shaquille O’Neal, Dwight Howard, and Nikola Vucevic. 

All three failed to bring The Larry O’Brien to Orlando, but all three were also elite all-stars during their time there. Vucevic is still loved by the Orlando community, and needless to say he feels comfortable at the Kia Center. And Being comfortable is one of the most important factors for making 22/23 foot field goal attempts.

Trust the big man to keep being The Well for Fantasy Alarm NBA Bets. We put the bucket down, he fills it up, and we get a drink of that delicious cool water… and it always delivers.
