NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 12/4


The Bet of the Night was successful on a double unit bet yesterday! James Harden came through with 3 made threes out of 10 attempts. However, the other three NBA picks were unsuccessful and it was a disappointing betting night. At least Harden kept the damage to a minimum. Let's wipe the slate clean and dive into today's top NBA predictions. 

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

 

 

 

Pistons vs. Celtics Prediction: Wednesday, 12/4

BET OF THE NIGHT

Jayson Tatum had a terrible game against the Miami Heat. He made only 7 of 21 field goal attempts and a rough 3-of-12 from behind the arc. It's a game he does not have often and one that we do not expect to see today.

The prediction is for him to have a bounce-back performance against the Detroit Pistons, who are playing their second of back-to-back games. The Pistons allow over 112 points per game, and the Boston Celtics are averaging 120 points per game. This is a recipe for a high-scoring Celtics matchup.

Tatum has made 4 or more three-pointers in 3 of his last 5 games and 6 of his last 9 games. He could be looking for a get-right game against a bad defensive team. His confidence should be high and he should have several three-point attempts against a smaller backcourt. 

 

 

 

Hawks vs. Bucks Prediction: Wednesday, 10/4

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the hottest player in the Association right now. He's scoring an average of 32.7 points per game and grabbing 11.7 rebounds to go with it. That is a combination of over 44 points and rebounds per game.

His assist line can be a little inconsistent but he is averaging 6.7 per game, which would put him a little over 50 points, rebounds, and assists per game. Impressive to account for so many statistics consistently, but that is what MVPs do.

His PRA line is set at 52, so a little tease-down action is always helpful. DraftKings is also running their King of the Court Special. This means if you place a wager on a player’s Points+Rebounds+Assists (not the Over/Under on the PRA), and you opt in to the promotion, then you are entered in the contest. Should Antetokounmpo have the highest PRA total of the night, everyone who picked his PRA total will get a share of $1,000,000 in bonus bets. 

This bet is a qualifying wager and with so few teams playing, Antetokounmpo has a great opportunity to be the leader. Put a unit on it.

 

 

 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 12/4

The lines have moved from last night, and Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets looks to take advantage of the move down on a total of what should be a high-scoring game. Let's take a closer look at the Lakers vs. Heat matchup tonight with a game total pick. 

 

 

 

Lakers vs. Heat Prediction: Wednesday, 12/4

This over/under was at 219.5 points around midnight and has shifted this morning. The total looked great at 219.5, which is below the combined average of both teams and looks even better with a drop of four points this morning.

Both of these teams have lost five of their last ten games and both come in with a loss in their most recent games. Plus, both have superstars that are capable of monster offensive games. Which team wins is a bit of a mystery, but it is not far-fetched to predict both teams to be lacking defensively tonight. 

Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, and Jimmy Butler can light up any offensive stat sheet depending on the night. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and rookie sensation Dalton Knecht have all been excellent scorers throughout the season. Any or all of those six players could have a great offensive night – making the over on the total more likely. 

This is somewhat of a modern rival, despite both teams being on opposite coasts. Look for more intensity tonight on the offensive end as each team needs a bounce-back game. Rhythm is found with the offense and both teams should get back on rhythm tonight.
