Today’s 2023 The Basketball Tournament (TBT) Bets

Here are our top picks for today’s 2023 TBT action.

Nasty Nati vs. Friday Beers

Nasty Nati has made it into the quarterfinals. They'll take on Friday Beers for a chance to play in the semis. Nasty Nati has won three straight games, including their most recent game against The Program for Autism. Nasty Nati won 76-51 in dominating fashion. Jarron Cumberland and Jacob Evans earned 23 or more points per game. They've dominated, earning a +42 or better over the first three games combined. Mamoudou Diarra, Troy Caupain Jr., and Marquez Letcher-Ellis have played so well with Cumberland and Evans. Nasty Nati doesn't have much depth, but their starters are stars. Meanwhile, Friday Beers defeated Carmen's Crew, 72-63, last time out. Julian Gamble has averaged ten rebounds per game with 13.7 points. Gabe York has also led the team in points with 18.7. However, Friday Beers also has no depth on the bench and are still weaker than Nasty Nati's starting lineup. Take Nasty Nati in this game.

Pick: Nasty Nati +1.5 (-115)


Bleed Green vs. Gutter Cats

In the second matchup tonight, Bleed Green will face Gutter Cats for a chance at making it into the semifinals. Bleed Green just defeated The Enchantment, 70-57. They've won all three games by at least nine points in The Basketball Tournament. They're another team that lacks depth. However, they've played six players at least 20 minutes per night and have watched all six players earn a 20+ differential when on the floor. Brandon Jefferson and Jordan Stevens have combined for about 40 points per game. They'll face the Gutter Cats after an exciting 64-62 win over The Ville. The Gutter Cats typically play more than an eight-man rotation at times. The bench is weak, but QJ Peterson, Jarell Eddie, Will Cherry, and Tai Odiase have played well alongside each other. However, Bleed Green should be able to attack the Gutter Cats when those bench players make an appearance. Take Bleed Green.

Pick: Bleed Green +2.5 (-115)
