Today's NBA Best Bets: Picks, Predictions and Odds for ALL Games on Wednesday 11/12

The bet on the Indiana Pacers for the Moneyline market is justifiable given the recent performance of both teams. Despite the model's prediction of a Utah Jazz win, the Jazz have a poor recent home record of 1-4, compared to Indiana's slightly better away record of 2-3. More importantly, the Pacers have been scoring more points both overall and away from home in their last five games, averaging 122.2 and 117.8 points respectively, compared to the Jazz's 115.2 overall and 113.6 at home. While Utah has won the last two meetings, current form suggests the Pacers have a solid chance to upset, making this bet a viable option.

Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors : Brooklyn Nets Over 101.5 Team Total Points (-526)

The bet on the Brooklyn Nets scoring over 101.5 points is supported by their recent scoring trends. Over the last five games, the Nets have consistently scored well above this mark, averaging 108.4 points per game overall and 108.6 when playing at home. Furthermore, the model prediction significantly exceeds the outcome point, suggesting a high-scoring performance by the Nets. This is further backed by the implied probability of 84%, indicating a strong likelihood of the Nets surpassing the 101.5 points threshold. Moreover, the Nets have had a solid home record, winning three out of the last five games, which boosts their confidence and scoring potential. Taken together, these statistics present a strong case for a high-scoring game by the Nets.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics : Boston Celtics 1.5 (-110)

The bet on the Boston Celtics with a 1.5 point spread is backed by their superior recent form, especially in head-to-head matches against the 76ers. The Celtics have won 4 out of their last 5 games compared to the 76ers 3-2 record. More crucially, the Celtics have a 3-1 record against the 76ers in their last 5 meetings, indicating a stronger performance in direct match-ups. Additionally, the Celtics have shown strong offensive capabilities in away games, scoring an average of 120.2 points in their last 5 away games, significantly higher than the 76ers' home score average of 108.4. Therefore, despite being the away team, the Celtics have a statistical edge that supports this bet.

New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies : New York Knicks win (-455)

The New York Knicks, playing at home, have a solid track record with a 3-2 record in their last five games, both overall and at home. Their scoring average in these games is significantly higher than the Memphis Grizzlies, with the Knicks scoring an average of 125.4 points compared to the Grizzlies' 118.8. This scoring trend continues in their home games, where the Knicks maintain a similar average (125.2) and the Grizzlies score slightly more (119.6), but still less than the Knicks. Despite the Grizzlies' 2-0 record against the Knicks in their last encounters, the current form and scoring power of the Knicks, especially at home, make them a good choice for this bet.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics : Philadelphia 76ers Under 126.5 Team Total Points (-556)

The bet on 'Philadelphia 76ers Under 126.5' in the Team Total Points (Alternate) market is driven by the team's scoring record in recent games. Over their last five home matches, the 76ers have averaged 108.4 points, which is significantly lower than the 126.5 points set for this bet. This trend aligns with the model prediction of 114.03 points. Additionally, the 76ers' overall average score in their last five games, whether home or away, is 115.6, still considerably below the betting line. These statistics suggest that it is highly likely the 76ers will score under 126.5 points in their game against the Celtics, making this bet a statistically sound choice.
