After a great Friday and Saturday of NBA best bets, all the wagers of Sunday came up just short, including The Well.

That is okay, as it is still a positive week, and we are still well over 50% on our NBA predictions this season.

 

 

 

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 12/9

There is only one game as the NBA gears up for the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup. The New York Knicks travel to the Scotiabank Arena to take on the Toronto Raptors.

As the only game today, there won’t be as many mentioned NBA picks. Instead, it is a three-fold Same Game Parlay with a profit boost at Bet365 Sportsbook.

 

 

 

Knicks vs. Raptors Prediction: NYK ML, Brunson 20+ Points & Barnes U8.5 Rebounds 

*0.5 Unit (+165 SGP on Bet365, PROFIT BOOST of 30%)

The Knicks are expected to win and have a -6.5 spread on the road. Honestly if you prefer a single bet, that is probably a great angle tonight as the Knicks should dominate the Raptors in both the front and back court. However the moneyline is suggested for this parlay as we focus on a win on the road for the Knicks.

Scottie Barnes is one of our favorite players to bet on, usually on the overs too. Today we look at under 8.5 rebounds despite the fact he has five games with 10 or more rebounds since returning from injury. 

Did you know that the New York Knicks allow the fewest rebounds to opposing teams this season? Teams are earning just 48 rebounds per game, against them which is the best by over a full rebound per game. As much as we enjoy betting the over on Barnes’ proposition bets, take the under tonight.

Jalen Brunson has scored 21 or more points in nine of his last ten games. He is still one of the best guards in the Association, and despite how great Karl-Anthony Towns has been playing, Brunson is still the hub of everything the Knicks do offensively. 

He controls the ball, and spends a great amount of time with it in his hands. This makes it easier for him to score, and makes his point line more consistent than other point guards. Brunson’s pointline is set at 25.5 today, but a major teased down line is suggested. The other two folds of this parlay seem more plausible to happen. The teased down line covers a bad scoring night, and a possible blow out. 

The name of the game is winning and as the last day of seventh week of the NBA. A winning Same Game Parlay would be an explanation point on a good week of betting. Put half a unit on the parlay, and if successful it returns a profit of 1.07 units.
