There will be no shortage of excitement this Sunday as we close out yet another week of NBA basketball. We are treated to an early tip-off in Oklahoma City when the Thunder host Ant Man and his Minnesota Timberwolves, and you can catch that game live at 1:00 PM ET on ABC. Soon after, the Mavericks and Cavaliers clash at 3:30 PM ET on NBA TV, and the Warriors vs Knicks are the 3rd TV game today — tipping off at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
I’ve prepared my NBA Best Bets for all 7 games being played today with odds courtesy of FanDuel, while you can find our in-depth NBA Picks as well.
Timberwolves vs Thunder best bet: Timberwolves +8.5 (-108)
A win for Minnesota in the early tip-off window would be the most Timberwolves thing ever. Ant Man and company are capable of pulling off wins like this, but they’re also capable of losing to lesser teams than them. OKC is on a solid win streak, but they’re not blowing out opponents. I’ll take Minnesota and the extra points here.
Mavericks vs Cavaliers best bet: Cavaliers -16.5 (-114)
Some people might be turned off by the massive spread here, but I’m of the opinion that the Cavaliers can still get the job done despite the big number. They crushed the Mavs just 2 days ago in Dallas by 33 points, a game in which their 3 best players all logged less than 30 minutes. It’s quite clear which is the better team here, as rookie Copper Flagg won’t be able to keep things close by himself.

Pacers vs Bucks best bet: Under 228.5 (-110)
Only 205 and 204 points were scored in the 2 most recent meetings between these teams. The under has cashed 4 times in the last 6 meetings, and right now, both squads have a bunch of players out injured. I don’t see enough offense here to push the total over. Ivica Zubac playing in the middle for Indy slows their offense a bit as well.
Pistons vs Raptors best bet: Duncan Robinson Over 11.5 Points (-102)
Duncan Robinson has been in fine form lately, and I expect the Pistons to keep feeding his hot hand here. He’s gone over this total 12 times in 20 games, while Toronto is known to give up big games to shooting guards.

Trail Blazers vs 76ers best bet: Jrue Holiday Over 16.5 Points (-118)
The veteran Jrue Holiday is playing really well on offense at the moment. He’s cashed on this line 12 times in 20 games, while Philadelphia’s defense woes against his position are well noted this season. Without having to chase around Tyrese Maxey on the defensive end, he should have plenty of energy for a big offensive performance.
Warriors vs Knicks best bet: Jalen Brunson Over 3.5 Rebounds (-125)
This has been one of the more profitable bets over the past month or so. Brunson has cleared this line 13 times in 20 games, and he should be able to do it again on Sunday against the shorthanded Warriors. Golden State can be exposed on the glass, even against point guards, as their last 3 games have seen opponents grab an average of 60.3 rebounds against them.

Jazz vs Kings best bet: Kings -1.5 (-110)
After that heroic win over the LA Clippers last night, how can you not double down on the Kings here? They’ve won 7 in a row at home vs Utah and 9 of the last 11 overall against them. The Jazz are in full on tank mode with just 2 wins in 12 games and a 1-5 SU record over their last 6 on the road.
