Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic Best Bet
The Philadelphia 76ers are now 6th in the Eastern Conference with 8 wins in their last 10 games. But they are coming off a 117-98 road loss against the Washington Wizards due to a subpar performance on both sides of the floor. Their performances at Wells Fargo Centre this season have been respectable, winning half of their 18 total games, but they covered the spread in just 7, making them one of the worst home teams ATS in the NBA. The 76ers have been very hit-or-miss this season, and the 12.0 point spread is too large to ignore, even against the young Orlando Magic team.
The Orlando Magic have had a very tough time winning games this season and are dead last in the Eastern Conference with just 8 wins and 37 losses. But they haven’t been as bad as their record might suggest. Yes, they have a tough time scoring points, averaging just 101.6 per game, but their defence has been solid recently, ranking 11th in the NBA in defensive rating in the last 5 games. The Magic come into every game as heavy underdogs, and they’ve been superstars on the road ATS, covering the spread in 59.3% of their road games. 92% of bettors are backing the Philadelphia 76ers to win this one, once again giving Orlando a lot of value in the handicap market.
Tip: Orlando Magic +11.5 at 1.98 odds

Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers Best Bet
The Chicago Bulls have been one of the biggest surprises of the season, competing for the top spot in the Eastern Conference after finishing 11th in the 2020/21 season. But they’ve faced injury issues in recent weeks and are now on a 4-game losing streak. Their play has dropped off on both sides of the floor, but it’s their defence that has been the biggest concern, ranking 30th in the NBA in defensive rating in the last 5 games. With Lonzo Ball, Javonte Green, and Zach LaVine out for this one, it’s difficult to imagine the Bulls challenging the red-hot Cavs.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have faced their share of injury issues this season and with Ricky Rubio and Collin Sexton out for the season, their situation seemed dire. But the Cavs showed immense character by pushing through, and they are now 4th in the east, and very close to the top. They are riding a 5-game winning streak and coming off a 114-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. They have performed well on both sides of the floor this season, but it’s their defence that has been the driving force behind their success, allowing just 102.1 points per game. The Cavaliers have been a cheat code ATS this year, especially on the road, covering the spread in 68.25% of their away games this season, and I have no problem backing them tonight.

Dallas Mavericks vs Toronto Raptors Best Bet
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the most unpredictable teams in the NBA this season, but they are now 5th in the Western Conference with 25 wins and 19 losses. They are on a 3-game winning streak and coming off a 104-102 win over the OKC Thunder where they failed to cover the 11.5-point spread. Although their defence has been one of the best in the NBA in recent games, they are only averaging 105.5 points per game on mediocre shooting percentages. The Dallas Mavericks are the 3rd-slowest team in the NBA with a pace rating of 95.8 and they rely too heavily on 3-pointers, causing their offence to grind to a halt when opponents play solid perimeter defence.
After a terrible start to the season, the Toronto Raptors have recovered nicely and are now 9th in the east with 21 wins and 20 losses. They’ve won 7 of their last 10 games and their record ATS has improved significantly. Whilst their offence has struggled to find easy baskets this season, with an average of 107.0 points per game, their defence has been respectable during their recent run, but most importantly their perimeter defence has been excellent, allowing an opponent 3-point percentage of 32.8%. The Raptors have covered the spread in 55.6% of their road games this year and with 85% of bettors backing the Mavericks to win tonight, the Raptors provide solid value in the handicap market.

Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets Best Bet
The Utah Jazz started the season as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, but their form has diminished recently, and they are now 4th in the conference standings. With 4 wins in their last 10 games and just 3 covers during that stretch, they have been substandard against the spread. Their offence has drooped down to 15th place in offensive rating, whilst their defence has ranked dead last in the NBA in the last 5 games and 23rd in the last 10. This team s struggling on both sides of the floor, but their meagre defence has made them unbackable in recent weeks, and I advise steering clear until they get back on their feet.
The Houston Rockets are 15th in the Western Conference with 13 wins and 32 losses on the season. They’ve won just 3 of their last 10 games, but are coming off a solid 118-102 victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets are a very underrated team, which has given them a lot of betting value throughout the season. In fact, 88% of punters are backing the Jazz to take this one, making the Rockets a value pick once again. The Jazz are having serious defensive issues at the moment and I expect the Rockets to take advantage of this and keep the game close.
