Best NBA Bets for Grizzlies vs. Knicks and Nuggets vs. Bulls

Memphis Grizzlies vs. New York Knicks Betting Analysis

BetUS hoops handicappers Sean and Carl are on the same sheet of music regarding their NBA game predictions today. It’s always a good thing when two sharps are backing the same pony, and after listening to their analysis, it’s hard to argue.

These teams have yet to meet this season, but the Grizzlies are playing their best basketball of the season, having won 6 straight games, and having covered the number in 7 of their last 8 contests. During their six-game winning streak, they have averaged nearly 129 points per game, well over 5 points per game above their league-leading 123.7 PPG average.

The Knicks have cobbled together a modest three-game winning streak but have alternated covering the spread over their last 10 games without missing a beat. If the pattern holds true, tonight will be a non-covering performance as they won and covered against the Kings on Saturday.

The Knicks are a solid offensive team equipped with the No. 8 defense in the league. However, the Grizzlies are operating on another level offensively, and to think we’re getting points with one of the hottest teams in the league is too good to pass up.

Include Memphis in your NBA picks today.

Pick: Grizzlies +3 ½ (-110)

 

Denver Nuggets vs. Chicago Bulls Betting Analysis

The Nuggets and Bulls will be tipping off at the United Center in Chicago tonight, and BetUS cappers Sean and Carl are both backing the visiting favorites in their NBA picks for Monday night. It’s never a good recipe to lay serious lumber on the road, but there are exceptions to every rule, and this is one of them.

Denver saw their four-game winning streak abruptly snapped in Minnesota on Saturday courtesy of a 133-104 shellacking at the hands of the Timberwolves. But tonight, they will get a much easier foe and one that is eight games below. 500 in the Chicago Bulls.

Speaking of which, the Bulls have dropped 7 of their last 8 contests, including a 109-97 setback to the woeful and injury-ravaged 76ers in front of the fan friendlies on Saturday as 3 ½ point home chalk. Losing to the Sixers these days takes a rare talent, but the Bulls were up to the task.

Chicago has failed to cash for their backers in 6 of their last 7 contests, which is why the oddsmakers are giving them such a big head start against a team that was blown out in their most recent effort by 29 points against Minnesota.

The Bulls will once again be without the services of their point guard, Coby White, which will make it even easier for a healthy and talented Nuggets team and its No. 3 scoring offense to exploit the second-worst defense in the league, surrendering 120 points per game.

Don’t overthink it; just bet the Nuggets as one of your NBA favorites today.

Pick: Nuggets -9 ½ (-110)
