Top NBA Odds, Picks & Predictions: Monday (2/5)
There are only six NBA games tonight. That limits the number of betting options, but there are still plenty of good bets out there. You just need to know where to look.
Here are my best NBA bets for today, Feb. 5!
Monday’s Best NBA Odds & Picks
(Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)
Sacramento Kings @ Cleveland Cavaliers
These are two of the hottest teams right now. That makes this one of the best games to bet on. The Kings have won four of their last five games and do not look to be slowing down anytime soon. The only issue about tonight is that they play an even hotter team.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won five games in a row and are 13-2 since the new year. Bettors can not ignore the upward trend during this part of the season. Until the Cavaliers start to lose consistently, they have the advantage going into tonight's matchup.
Bet: Cavaliers -5.5 (-110)
Golden State Warriors @ Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are an average team that is playing to get more experience with their young core of players. Brooklyn probably won't make the playoffs and lost once to the Warriors this season. The Nets will keep this game close, but they do not have the experience to beat the Warriors tonight.
Golden State is not the team that has won multiple championships, but it still has plenty of talented players. That gives them the edge in this matchup where they have plus betting value. That value and the experience of Stephen Curry means this is a perfect time to ride with the Warriors.
Bet: Warriors Moneyline (+110)
Dallas Mavericks @ Philadelphia 76ers
The decider of this game will be health. Both teams are banged up right now, and that includes Joel Embiid. The 76ers are an entirely different team without Embiid in the lineup. They struggle to find scoring outside of Tyrese Maxey. Philadelphia will keep this game tight, but the edge goes to Dallas.
The Mavericks are also dealing with injuries. Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are both game-time decisions. That makes this a riskier play, but if one of them plays, they have a good chance of winning this game. Both teams need a win tonight, and it will come down to who plays. The Mavericks’ players have a greater chance to play. Ride with Dallas.
Bet: Mavericks Moneyline (-125)
