Betting on basketball is a great day.
But let’s stick to the NBA for today’s best betting list, as the college basketball team playing today is No. 19th St. Mary.
There are only four games on the schedule tonight, so options are limited.
Below are our best NBA bets today.
Brooklyn Net (+900) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (-18)
Cleveland has a 54-10 NBA record and is already the only team to close out the playoff spot. Brooklyn (22-42) is looking for a play-in tournament. The struggle is realistic for one team, but completely nonexistent for the other team.
What do you think this game will be like?
The Cavs headed for the season sweep and won three previous meetings, but only one was decided with 18 or more points. However, Cleveland is trying to maintain it 14 games win consecutive wins. The desire to do so is enough motivation to ensure that the Cavs win.
But can they cover it? It’s a very large spread at minus 18.
Our Picks: Over 225 (DraftKings)
Cleveland won the game and they managed to cover very well in the process. However, in three previous meetings between these teams, the Cavs only won one time over 18. So while confidence in victory is high, it’s pretty low for victory over the spread.
However, the Cavs attacks have no problem running net scores before the house crowd. Brooklyn scores enough to push the final total of 225 or more points.

Net vs. Cavaliers: Player Props
Donovan Mitchell, under 22.5 points on -125/-105
Mitchell is one of the more prolific scoring threats in the NBA this season. However, in the net-to-3 game, he scored over 22.5 points only once. However, NET has one of the worst perimeter defenses in the NBA.
With the Cavs on the Rolls going on recently, I’m hoping that a very confident Mitchell will rain from behind the arc.
Our Choice: Over 22.5

Donovan Mitchell, under 3.5/Bottom 3 Pointer +124/-160 created 3 Pointer
Mitchell has only hit one of his 13 attempts in the last two games, but has tried four of Miami and 11 attempts. In numbers, under seems like a way to go. But I think Mitchell will take him down at Brooklyn’s poor boundary D.
In Odds posted by Draftkings, getting over is worth it.

Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) vs. Indiana Pacers (+120)
Both teams are about to end their respective losing streaks at Indianapolis tonight. The Pacers lost their last three (all on the road), and the Bucks both dropped the last two at home. But before these losses, Indiana went 6-2 and Milwaukee went 8-1.
It’s good that Indiana is back home, but that’s still their third game in four days, half back to back. You should be tired. As for the Bucks, the extra holidays bring them a world of goodness and gives them an advantage over Pacers.
Our Pick: Bucks-2.5
It’s going to be a great game between two great teams in the Eastern Conference, but the remaining benefits and a healthier roster give Milwaukee the edge they need to win.
