Expert NBA Picks and Player Props: Best NBA Bets Today Nov. 24
It's Monday, and you know what that means! Yeah, it's the start of the work week, and a fantastic Monday Night Football matchup between the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers is about to go down.
But that's not all! In addition to a seven-game NHL slate, we've got a whopping 10 NBA matchups tonight. The best game, by far, is a top-three Eastern Conference clash in Canada between the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
We've done our research and taken a look at all of our favorite sports betting apps to find the best picks with the best NBA odds. If you take advantage of the latest sportsbook promotions, tonight's value could take your bankroll to the moon.
NBA Game Lines
Detroit Pistons -10.5 (-105) @ Indiana Pacers
🏀 Odds via FanDuel 📈
The 14-2 Pistons, winners of 12 straight and currently the best team in the Eastern Conference, head to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on the rival Indiana Pacers, who have hobbled to an unexpected 2-14 start. These two teams met in Detroit just a week ago, with the Pistons winning 127-112 without Cade Cunningham, Tobias Harris, or Ausar Thompson. All three players will be available tonight and should be in the starting lineup.
Truthfully, we don't know why the line is so relatively low. Sure, Benedict Mathurin's explosive return from injury (26.4 ppg, 7.2 rpg) has made the Pacers less bad, but they're still bad. Detroit are 6-1 on the road and looking like they're going to compete for the title this year. Detroit in a blowout tonight.
New York Knicks -14 (-105) @ Brooklyn Nets
🏀 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 📈
The gap between teams regarding true NBA talent has seemingly never been larger. That will be evident in tonight's matchup between the rival Knicks and Nets at the Barclays Center. This is the second of four matchups this season, with the Knicks steamrolling the Nets 134-98 back on November 9th.
The Knicks head into the game without Landry Shamet, who suffered a scary shoulder injury over the weekend. OG Anunoby is still out with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the Nets are still without Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith, who have been dealing with longer-term injuries.
There's no reason this game should be anywhere close to competitive. We fully expect another Knicks blowout win.
Chicago Bulls @ New Orleans Pelicans ML (+180)
🏀 Odds via DraftKings 📈
This certainly looks like a trap line, and we have good reason to believe that the Pelicans will finally end their nine-game losing streak.
New Orleans are far better than their 2-15 record indicates. The majority of their games are decided by single digits, and they've had to play a very difficult schedule to start the year. The Pelicans have already had to face the Thunder, Nuggets, and Spurs twice in addition to the rest of their gauntlet.
The Pelicans are loaded with young talent like Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears. Zion Williamson should be in the lineup to give the Bulls plenty of trouble. Trust our instincts here.
NBA Player Props
Derik Queen 20+ Points (+220)
🏀 Odds via BetMGM 📈
Derik Queen has scored 20+ points in each of his last three games. The 20-year-old rookie has been in sensational form with the Pelicans and deserves to be in a better team situation. We think he tastes victory as a leading contributor tonight.
Cade Cunningham 10+ Assists (-135)
🏀 Odds via BetMGM 📈
Cunningham has dished out 10+ assists in his last six games and in eight of his last nine. He's only a week removed from injury, and we think he'll be able to beat the Pacers going half-speed today. We expect him to do more passing than shooting.
Jalen Duren 30+ Points (+830)
🏀 Odds via FanDuel 📈
If we think Cunningham is going to take it easy, then that should only benefit Jalen Duren. Duren has scored 30+ points three times this season, including last time out against the Pacers. At +830, this is worth a sprinkle at the very least.
New Users – Bet $5 Get $200 in Bet Reset Tokens for 5 Days Jalen Brunson 30+ Points (+110)
🏀 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 📈
After missing the Miami series due to injury, Brunson is back to his regular self, averaging 30.5 points over his last two games.
He has scored 30+ in seven of his 13 games this season, though he only put in 19 points the last time out against Brooklyn. That's because the Knicks were absolutely killing them, and Brunson played a season-low 28 minutes on the floor.
With the Knicks having lost three of their last five games, we think Brunson will be looking to stat-pad and send a message to the rest of the league.
