Sure, the league’s been dealing with injuries and some key players losing their starting spots, but don’t worry. I’ve got you covered with bullet-proof NBA picks and predictions to help you crush it, no matter the situation.

 

Top 5 NBA Expert Picks This Week

1. Nets (-1½) vs Pelicans 11/11

To start the week, I’m rolling with the Brooklyn Nets to cover 1½ points on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans are banged up, missing power forward Zion Williamson, shooting guard CJ McCollum and forward Herb Jones, which means it’s all on Brandon Ingram to carry the offense. Not exactly the setup for success. To make matters worse, New Orleans’ defense has been atrocious lately, allowing opponents to shoot 50% from the field..

Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s offense is locked in from beyond the arc, ranking 10th in the league with 14 3-pointers per game, according to NBA betting trends. With all that in mind, this is an easy call – back Brooklyn to take care of business on the road!

2. Heat vs Pistons 11/12: Detroit ATS Pick

With the second spot for my NBA prediction today, I’m rocking with the Detroit Pistons at home, getting points from the Miami Heat. I can already tell you this game will be a close one – both teams rank near each other in key categories, like points allowed (Detroit at 110.5, Miami at 111.9) and points per game (Detroit at 107.1 and Miami at 109).

The Heat got the better of the Pistons last month with a 106-98 win, but I’m expecting Detroit to get revenge. The Pistons have been playing solid lately, winning two of their last three, including a solid 12-point win at home over the Lakers. With Cade Cunningham leading the charge, averaging 23 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists, I like Detroit to cover at home.

3. Wizards vs Spurs 11/13: Lay Points With San Antonio

Coming in at number three this week without hesitation, I’m rolling with the San Antonio Spurs against the spread. While it might not be the most exciting matchup, this one’s a no-brainer for your bets.

The Washington Wizards are a mess, dropping four straight and sitting dead last in the NBA for points allowed, giving up a disastrous 123.5 points per game. Not to mention, they’re facing a San Antonio team that thrives on defense, ranking fifth in the league, allowing just 108 points per game.

Add in veteran point guard Chris Paul, healthy and still getting the job done, along with future All-Star center Victor Wembanyama and his 18.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and four blocks per game.

Don’t overthink it: Bet online for the Spurs against the spread.

4. Jazz vs Kings 11/16: Ride Sacramento at Home

Coming in as a clear pick for the week, I’m calling this one a steal: Take the Sacramento Kings, laying the points against the visiting Utah Jazz. While the Jazz have had a few surprises, like their recent 111-110 win over the Spurs, they’re just nowhere near the level of the Kings this season.

Sacramento ranks fifth in the league, shooting 48.4% from the floor. Meanwhile, the Jazz can’t get it together offensively, shooting a league-worst 42%. With three dominant players leading the way in DeMar DeRozan (25 PPG), De’Aaron Fox (24 PPG) and Domantas Sabonis (20.5 PPG, 12.9 RPG, 6.9 APG), the Kings are bound to stomp Utah.

Bet on Sacramento to handle business and cover in your NBA spread picks.

Bet on Kings ATS

 

5. Hornets vs Cavaliers 11/17: Bank on Cleveland ATS

To close out this week’s expert picks with some Sunday night action, I’m taking the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers to leave the Charlotte Hornets in the dust, laying the points.

Where do I even start? The Cavaliers are looking like the real deal, leading the league in points per game at 122.5, while the Hornets sit far behind at 109, near the bottom of the barrel. Cleveland is nearly fully healthy, with guards Donovan Mitchell (22.5 PPG) and Darius Garland (20 PPG) leading the charge, and center Jared Allen putting up a double-double nightly (13.9 PPG, 11.1 RPG).

With all the weapons in their arsenal, the Cavaliers are ready to steamroll the Hornets on both ends of the floor. Don’t overthink this: I’m wrapping up my NBA expert picks this week and betting on Cleveland to squash Charlotte.
