Monday’s NBA Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)
New York Knicks at Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most inconsistent teams this season. That worries me going into this matchup. Steph Curry has been their only player who plays at an elite level every night. Inconsistent teams create betting value for their opponent.
That opponent is the New York Knicks. The Knicks have vastly improved throughout the season. Jalen Brunson has become one of the top players in the league, and they have added quality depth to the team before the trade deadline. That makes them a high-value underdog tonight.
Pick: New York Knicks Moneyline (+158)
Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings
The Memphis Grizzlies have struggled to get anything going this season. That includes both times that they have played against the Sacramento Kings. They lost both games by an average of 20 points. That large of a loss gives the Kings the betting upside tonight.
Sacramento is the better team and their record shows that. They have the talent to beat the Grizzlies by more than 9.5 points. The NBA season is long. Teams that have talent and consistency have all the betting value. Bettors can take advantage of the King’s upside tonight.
Pick: Sacramento Kings -9.5 Points (-110)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers are a good team. They have won both games against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. Both of those games have been close. One game was within eight points, and the other within five. Tonight, that should be the same.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have some injuries to their roster. Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus are out. Even without these two players, the Cavaliers can keep this game close. They have Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, all players who can score points and play defense. That will keep Cleveland close in this matchup.
Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers +7.5 Points (-110)
