NBA Best Bets for Monday
Hornets Moneyline (+140) at Detroit at bet365 Sportsbook
There’s no reason to take Charlotte +3.5, since most NBA games are decided by three-or-more points, and we’re advocating taking the Hornets to win in the Motor City.
Charlotte may be 0-2 against Detroit, and just 7-25 away from Spectrum Center, but it is coming off an 11-point win over the Nets on Saturday and was only a frigid fourth quarter away from winning its last game against the Pistons.
If you’re looking for a wager to unlock $200+ in bonus bets — or one that will be reimbursed as site credit if it does not hit — this is a great one to target.
Warriors -4.5 (-105) at San Antonio at Caesars Sportsbook
Steph Curry may be out for the Dubs, who also just lost to the Spurs on Saturday night in San Francisco. But they are fighting for their playoff lives, currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, and need wins bad.
The Spurs won at Golden State on Saturday by shooting 51.2% from the field, and 51.5% on 3-pointers. The Dubs only shot 33.3% from beyond the arc and still only lost by seven after falling behind by as many as 21.
Only seven of Golden State’s 33 wins have been by four points or fewer, which means if you think the Dubs will get right and beat the Spurs, it’s best to wager them to do so by at least five points.
Best NBA Parlay for Monday
Warriors ML, Celtics ML, Nuggets ML, Suns ML (+190) at DraftKings Sportsbook
Parlay betting is one of the most fun ways to wager, especially in the NBA. I love dialing up a multi-leg bet, especially featuring games that start over multiple time zones, to keep me engaged in the night on the court.
I especially like this one. The Cavaliers fell to the Nets on Sunday night and now will need to host the Suns, who have won 18 of 26. The Nuggets are a 14.5-point favorite at home against Toronto, but I’ll add them as a -1200 moneyline favorite against the Raptors, who are just 10-22 on the road this season.
The Celtics are eyeing their 50th win of the season and should be able to get it against the Trail Blazers, who are 10-22 at home and have dropped 11-15. Finally, if you think the Warriors will cover -4.5 in San Antonio, they’ll most certainly win against the Spurs.
You can toy around with other markets, like betting any of these favorites to cover the spread. But be careful. Four-leg parlays are super hard to hit.
