Odds: +100
Probability: 53.8%
Advantage: 3.8%
Game: Rockets vs. Clippers (10:30 p.m. ET)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has found the best bet of the day, Rockets vs. Clippers. Our model identifies the Clippers +7.5 as a solid bet in this game. Our Basketball Forever betting bot believes the Clippers will be able to defend well enough to limit the Rockets' easy shots. The Rockets have reached that number in only 1 of their last 5 games. With the Clippers only missing Ivica Zubac, our model predicts this injury won't give the Rockets enough of an advantage to make up the difference.
Our Basketball Forever Betting Bot Recommends Betting Clippers +7.5. and +100 odds and a 3.8% advantagewhich is our best choice today.
2. Pelicans +8.5 (-102)
Odds: -102
Probability: 54.1%
Advantage: 3.6%
Game: Pelicans vs. Cavaliers (7:30 p.m. ET)
Finally, we're looking at the Pelicans vs. Cavaliers game, and we're finding some value. In this game, our Basketball Forever betting bot has its sights on the Pelicans +8.5 at -102 odds. The Pelicans have been able to cover that particular number in all 5 of their past five games. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, haven't been able to cover even one of their past five games. Since the Cavs have suffered some injuries, our model predicts the Pelicans will take advantage of that, causing them to cover this specific number.
Our model recommends sprinkling Pelicans +8.5 and -102 odds and a 6.6% advantage.
