Welcome to the NBA Best Bets Today for Thursday, November 7th as we dive deep into the top NBA picks. It is a three-game slate with all games beginning at 8:00 PM ET today and there is a pick on every game. 

The prediction is that two games will be close on Thursday night as we target top NBA prop bets to lock in. With the Milwaukee Bucks, though, you never know what you are getting, and they are almost 10-point favorites tonight. The Bet of the Night comes from a different matchup though.

 

 

 

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/7

The rare 50/50 bet took place yesterday, but Fantasy Alarm was still able to build the bankroll. Russell Westbrook delivered on his prop of over 14.5 points before halftime. The double unit wager was successful, and Westbrook ensured a positive payday.

Pascal Siakam fell three points short, as he was one of four Pacers players to score exactly 17 points, a rare occurrence. Anthony Davis did not play last night, and true to yesterday’s column, the Lakers go as Anthony Davis goes...so the Lakers lost another game. Let's now get into the NBA best bets today. Good luck with your own NBA picks!

 

 

 

Timberwolves vs. Bulls Prediction: Nikola Vucevic Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (+150 on DraftKings) 

Bet Of The Night

Nikola Vucevic has covered his made-threes proposition bet for this column before, and we are betting on him again at fantastic odds. He went 0-2 in his game yesterday against the Dallas Mavericks, and our favorite scientific law, the law of averages, should come through for us again. 

Not only that, Vucevic’s three-point percentage is 45.7%, which is outstanding for any player at any position. The big man has attempted 35, and at least two in every game. He made the effort to improve his three-point percentage, and it is on display this season.

Vucevic will also be playing against the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. As excellent a defender as Gobert is near the rim, around the perimeter he can be exposed. Not that a 7-foot center is going to make moves, but separation and a clean look improve anyone’s percentage. 

Vucevic should have a few open looks tonight. Bet on the big man to make 2 threes today, just as he has in five games this season.

 

 

 

Trail Blazers vs. Spurs Prediction: Deandre Ayton Over 11.5 Rebounds (+100 DraftKings)

Deandre Ayton is quietly having a fantastic season. The disregarded former first pick is playing arguably his best basketball since his title run with the Suns. He is averaging a double-double with 14.4 points and 11.5 rebounds while playing over 31 minutes per game.

Those are fantastic numbers for a player that several had low expectations for. DraftKings gave zero juice and took his average… a pure statistical line so they can take a rake. Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets is taking the over against an underperforming Victor Wembanyama. 

Jeremy Sochan is expected to miss the game, which should allow Ayton more rebounding opportunities. The Trailblazers are also playing their first game in three days and should be well-rested. Ayton has 12 rebounds in his last two games and three of his last four. A bet on the over at even odds is too good to pass up.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 11/7

The Utah Jazz play the Milwaukee Bucks in what is expected to be a blowout by the Bucks. However, there is a Jazz player that is being underestimated, and he is our last player prop of the day.

Jazz vs. Bucks Prediction: Lauri Markkanen Over 6.5 Rebounds (-130 on BetMGM)

Lauri Markkanen is a former All-Star, who can dominate a game when healthy. The problem is he deals with back issues and has missed his last three games due to back spasms. He is expected to play, and it is currently difficult to find props for other Jazz players. 

Markkanen hasn’t played since October 29th but should see his normal playing time of around 30 minutes. He has 8 or more rebounds in every game he has played 27 or more minutes, and even though the Bucks have an elite frontcourt, Markkanen is a more than capable rebounder.

There is a bit of juice on the line, but the key is to have winning tickets. It has been a profitable week for this column, and a sweep of today’s picks would put over three units in the bankroll.
