NBA Betting Tips 2023-24: Wednesday November 29th.

The Hawks, ranking 24th in defensive rating and giving up an average of 130.8 points per game in their last 4 matches, are expected to face a challenging game against the Cavaliers. Atlanta’s loss of Jalen Johnson, their strong defender, is a significant blow. The Cavaliers, coming off a close victory over the Raptors, are expected to push the tempo, aided by high-level guard play from players like Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, and Donovan Mitchell. This scenario points to a higher-scoring game, with a lean towards the over​

The Hornets, grappling with LaMelo Ball’s injury, face the Knicks as a double-digit underdog. Charlotte’s track record of 4-1 ATS in their last 5 visits to Madison Square Garden offers some optimism. The Knicks, eyeing advancement in the In-Season Tournament, have seen a dip in their 3-point shooting lately. Despite the Hornets’ challenges, the 11.5-point spread seems excessive, suggesting that Charlotte might cover the spread, especially with Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges stepping up

The Bulls, struggling with four consecutive losses and a faltering offense, face a formidable Celtics team. Boston’s star power and the questionable status of key players like Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday slightly level the playing field. Given the deseperation of the Bulls here, Boston’s outs, and the very high line I will be taking Chicago to cover here

The Bucks, with a strong offensive rating, face a Heat team dealing with injuries to key players like Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro. Milwaukee’s advantage in 3-point shooting and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dominance could pressure the Heat’s defense. The Bucks’ ability to exploit these weaknesses suggests they might cover the spread, especially considering Miami’s injury woes​.

The Raptors, with a healthy roster, face the Nets who are dealing with multiple injuries. Toronto’s defensive prowess and the size advantage of their wing defenders could slow down the Nets. Barnes, Siakam, Poeltl, Anunoby are all above level defenders, which should really trouble a Brooklyn team that is lacking creation without the likes of Simmons and Thomas. I like the Raptors in this one.

The Thunder, showing unexpected depth this season, face the Timberwolves, who have been impressive at home. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander promise an exciting guard matchup. The Timberwolves’ strong record against the Thunder and their performance at the Target Center suggest they might cover the spread

This matchup features two offensively impressive teams. The Rockets, led by Alperen Sengun, and the Mavericks, with high scoring and 3-point shooting stats, are expected to engage in a high-scoring affair. Luka Doncic’s expected offensive onslaught and the Rockets’ weaker perimeter defense could result in the game going over the total points line

The Kings, returning from a successful road trip, face the Warriors, who have been struggling with form and Klay Thompson’s shooting woes. Despite the Warriors’ historical dominance over the Kings, Sacramento’s recent form and the return of key players make them likely to cover the spread. De’Aaron Fox’s performance and Domantas Sabonis’ presence could be pivotal for the Kings​.
