4 Best Bets, 4 Props & 4 Parlays: NBA Wednesday Slate

November 9, 2022 by The OddsCrowd Analysts

After a night off from NBA due to the election, we're keen to dive back in. We managed to go 3-1 with our recommended plays and had a +738 Parlay cash. Before we dive in though, make sure you join our Weekly NBA Pick'em. Free to play, and $60 up for grabs.

Dallas Mavericks @ Orlando Magic

Dallas are just getting rolling, winning the last 4 in a row. Doncic is leading the offense with a remarkable 9 games in a row with over 30 points. The Magic on the other hand are heading into this game 2-9, with their only recent win being against the very disappointing Warriors squad by 1 point. An interesting stat between these two teams is that in 20 of the last 21 games between the two teams, the favourite has won. We think this trend will continue. DFSConnections is a new users on OddsCrowd but has a 8-0 record so far. So we’re tailing him into the Mavericks Moneyline.

Pick: Mavericks Moneyline

Best Prop

While Luka has been remarkable so far this season, scoring a lead leading 36ppg, we think this is the sort of game the Mavs will be looking to take some load out of him. Reason being that they’re playing on the road against a team they should easily beat, and he’s coming off the back of a big night against the Nets on Monday. We’re looking to other offensive Props within the Mavs. We like the look of Spencer Dinwiddle. He’s made three or more three pointers in all of the last four road games.

Pick: Spencer Dinwiddle 3+ Made Threes

Denver Nuggets @ Indiana Pacers

Bettors still seem to be sleeping on the Pacers. We’re not. They were part of our winning +738 3 Leg Parlay on Monday night. They have headed into every one of their last five games as underdogs, and won all but one outright. They’re covering the spreads being set easily as well. In fact, they have covered the spread in all of their last seven games against teams that have held a winning record. We’re keeping the faith that they can keep defying expectations. Bigblue78 (155-131) is taking the Pacers at +5.5.

Pick: Pacers +5.5

Best Prop

One of the reasons for the Pacers relatively strong start to the year has been the Pacers ability to put a score up. They’re scoring a lot from outside the arc. Michael Porter Jr. and Buddy Field specifically. Porter Jr. has made three or more threes in all of his eight last appearances.

Pick: Michael Porter Jr 3+ Threes

New York Knicks @ Brooklyn Nets

With Irving out serving the 4^th of his 5 game suspension, Simmons not up to speed, it’s all on KD with the Nets at the moment. The Knicks on the other hand are coming in off a 13 point win against the Timberwolves where they scored a franchise record 10 threes. It was a really well rounded team performance with Randle scoring 31, Brunson 23 and RJ Barrett 22. We think another cohesive performance should get them covering the line against their cross town rivals. Top performing bettor on OddsCrowd Bigblue78 (155-131) agrees and is taking the Knicks at +2.5

Pick: Knicks +2.5

Best Prop

We think the Knicks are going to be given a huge amount of second opportunities here. The Nets rank 29^th in rebounding, and worst in the league in their own boards. We’re looking to the offensive scoring props for the Knicks. We like the look of the Jalen Brunsen points props as he’s scored 20+ points in each of the Knicks’ last four games.

Pick: Jalen Brunson +20 Points

Leg 1: Knicks +2.5

Leg 2: Jalen Brunson +20 Points

Los Angeles Lakers @ Los Angeles Clippers

BEST BET

The 6-5 Clippers host the struggling cross town Lakers who are 2-8. The Lakers record against the spread reads even worse, at 2-8. The question bettors continue to ask is, are the Lakers actually this bad? We think so. The key two issues are that they can’t make threes, and they are letting in big scores. They rank last in three point percentage, and are 24th in points allowed per game. As the old adage goes, you can’t teach old dogs new tricks either as they don’t seem to be adjusting their game. We’re taking the Clippers here, and top performing bettor Bigblue78 (151-131) is too. Taking them at -4.5.

Pick: Clippers -4.5

BEST PROP

We like the look of the player points props for the Clippers due to the huge scores the Lakers are giving up this season. We think Ivica Zubac could be on for a relatively good night. He’s scored 12+ points in six of the Clippers’ last seven games as home favourites.

Pick: Ivica Zubac 15+ Points
