In a rematch of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks are heading to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first night of a back-to-back. Both squads are coming off losses and looking to rebound, with a struggling Knicks offense going toe-to-toe with an up-and-down Cavs defense. Despite the inconsistent play, the Game won’t be short on brand-name talent, with a Cavs star in position to put up big numbers in a Game that the NBA odds have Cleveland as a home dog. Find out where my best bets lie in our NBA picks and predictions for Knicks vs. Cavaliers on Tuesday, October 31. Knicks vs Cavaliers odds Knicks vs Cavaliers predictions Just two games into his second season in Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell has been on a tear.  After scoring 27 and adding another six assists in the opener against the Brooklyn Nets, Spider played a whopping 42 minutes against Oklahoma City and finished with 43 points and five assists. While he’s de

The Phoenix Suns looked like they had mortgaged all semblance of depth to add both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal to their roster since February, but they are holding up rather well to start this season, even without Beal and star guard Devin Booker. Will that bench be able to outpace the San Antonio Spurs? I break down the NBA odds and offer my best free NBA picks and predictions for the Spurs vs the Suns on October 31. Spurs vs Suns odds Spurs vs Suns predictions At some point, the Phoenix Suns will let up. Working without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will cost them. And yes, both have been ruled out for tonight. But Phoenix has begun the season 3-0 against the spread, including covering twice as an underdog. Booker played in just the opener, and Beal has not played at all, while some guy named Kevin Durant has. Remember him? The 7-foot Hall of Famer is averaging 27.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists, and he isn’t even humming yet. Durant is shooting 27.3 percent fro

James Harden got his wish for the Philadelphia Sixers to trade him to the Los Angeles Clippers, and it looks like he could be in attendance as early as tonight’s (Tuesday) Game against the Orlando Magic. The deal is still waiting on some final details, so of course, he would not be able to play just yet. There are still details about a third team joining the deal for a first-round pick from the Sixers that has not yet been revealed. Once those details are finalized, a trade call will happen with the league office and the players will undergo medical testing. All of that will take some time, so Harden playing tonight is highly unlikely. All of us waiting for the James Harden trade details pic.twitter.com/7KcLaKfwYb — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) October 31, 2023 He could, however, play tomorrow (Wednesday) when the Clippers play the Lakers. That is still quite soon, but not impossible, though it’s probable that the Clippers will want to take their time getting Harden up to speed

Happy Halloween! It’s a great night to dress up and get some candy, but not to watch a full slate of NBA Game s since only 6 teams are in action. However, I’ve still put together a parlay a 14/1 odds for tonight’s small slate, so let’s get right into it, and make sure to check out all of our NBA picks . Knicks -2.5 (-110) Spurs ML (+230) Clippers win by 11+ (+140) Parlay odds: +1412 New York Knicks -2.5 (-110) over Cleveland Cavaliers It’s a battle of 1-2 teams in Cleveland as the Knicks and Cavaliers meet for the first time this season. However, even though they have the same record, they haven’t been playing the same basketball. The Knicks lost a hard-fought battle in their series opener against the Celtics and followed that up with an offensive-shootout win against the Pelicans. That’s where the Knicks win streak ended though because a poor offensive performance against the Pelicans earned New York its second loss. And when I mean poor, I mean really, really poor. The Knick

The Toronto Raptors will try to halt a two-game losing streak when they welcome the Portland Trail Blazers to The Six on Monday night. While the Raptors’ offense has had some missteps early on, their defense has eaten up opponents so far this season. Toronto will have a great chance to keep feasting against a Blazers team that has struggled to adjust to life without Damian Lillard. I break down the NBA odds and bring you the best bet in my free NBA picks for the Trail Blazers vs. Raptors. Trail Blazers vs Raptors odds Trail Blazers vs Raptors predictions The Toronto Raptors enter this matchup having lost consecutive games to the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers. And despite issues when it comes to scoring the basketball, the Raptors have been ferocious on the defensive end of the floor so far this season. Toronto has thrived in new head coach Darko Rajakovic’s new system. Scottie Barnes looks rejuvenated and is super active at that end of the floor and already has n

While well and truly into the season now, we’re still far pretty far away from a sample size that can accurately assess just how good every team is this year and what their strengths and weaknesses are. That means the NBA odds can still be a bit volatile, and as such, there’s value to be had for the keen observer, particularly on the prop market. My top NBA picks for Monday, October 30 focus on the play of a trio of stars Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and Zion Williamson. Here are our favorite NBA player props for tonight's action.

The Boston Celtics welcome the Miami Heat to TD Garden tonight in a rematch of the 2023 Eastern Conference Final — a series Miami won in seven games. Boston will look to get its revenge as the sizable home favorite in the NBA odds, led by Jayson Tatum and new addition Kristaps Porzingis, who both scored over 30 points in their season opener. Will a revamped Celtics squad be able to defend home court against a hard-working Heat team? We’ll discuss in our Heat vs. Celtics NBA picks and predictions for Friday, October 27. Heat vs Celtics odds Heat vs Celtics predictions Jayson Tatum is known for his hot starts, and Wednesday was no exception as he put up 34 points against the Knicks to lead the Celtics to victory in their season opener. The small forward shot just under 60% from the field on 22 attempts while adding 11 rebounds for a double-double. Kristaps Porzingis was also excellent in his Celtics debut, scoring 30 points while shooting 5-for-9 from three, but we’ll focus on

On Sunday we wrap up the first week of the 2023-24 NBA season with a 6-game slate. There are some interesting matchups today and — after landing +612 and +444 odds parlays on Tuesday and Wednesday — I’m hoping we can end the week with another one. Don’t forget to visit our NBA predictions for picks on Sunday’s 6-game slate, but without wasting any more time let’s get into it. Atlanta Hawks ML (+245) Golden State Warriors -4.5 (-110) Sacramento Kings -3 (-110) Parlay odds: +1157 Atlanta Hawks ML over Milwaukee Bucks (+245) Pressure is building on the Hawks as they try to dig themselves out of a 0-2 hole to start the new season. Milwaukee isn’t the ideal place to look for your first win of the season, but the Hawks have actually performed well against the Bucks in recent regular-season meetings, winning 5 of the last 8. Trae Young in particular has excelled in those games, averaging 32.4 points per game in the last 5 meetings and that’s with Jrue Holiday guarding him on most of

We’re just a handful of days into the NBA season, and the storylines are popping all over the country with stars in new places, rookies breaking television rating records, and the fight to be best in the West being just as grueling as expected with all of the talented teams. With the NBA odds a little tough to gauge as we get an idea about just how good these teams are, let’s lean on a pair of high-flying guards and a rookie with superstar potential who has an intriguing matchup for our NBA player prop plays today. Keep reading for my best NBA player prop picks and predictions for October 29.

The Toronto Raptors are coming off an overtime defeat to the Chicago Bulls last night. That calls for finding a way to fade them. Let’s dive into our top NBA player prop bet for Saturday, October 28, and be sure to check out our NBA predictions . Tobias Harris (PHI) Over 19.5 points + rebounds (-117) Odds available at Caesars Sports book at time of publishing. Let’s start with how Tobias Harris looked on Thursday Night in his first action of the season — fantastic. He played to his strengths and was as efficient as one could ask. He was 8 for 9 from the field, including 3 for 3 from deep. With James Harden not suiting up, Harris will be called upon much more, along with Tyrese Maxey. Like Harris, Maxey delivered in a big way. He scored 31 points on 10 for 22 from the field. The concern is the volume Harris will get with Maxey and Joel Embiid running the show. But this number is just too low for what Harris is capable of. Last season without Harden, Harris crushed this player pro

When the Phoenix Suns retooled their team this offseason around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, the potential was obvious. Adding Bradley Beal and enough shooting to the mix was a recipe for one of the most explosive offenses we’ve ever seen. The only thing that could stop them from being an inner circle contender appeared to be the recent injury track record of their new star trio. And already that concern has been validated, with Booker and Beal both missing Thursday’s Game against the Los Angeles Lakers and now the real possibility that they’re both out again against the Utah Jazz on Saturday, October 28. My NBA picks for the Jazz vs. Suns believe Phoenix’s injuries and Utah’s odd lineups will lead to them going Under the total NBA odds have set. Jazz vs Suns odds Jazz vs Suns predictions The Phoenix Suns have the potential to be an All-Time great NBA offense, but through two games of the NBA season, that’s all it so far. Potential. And that’s all it should remain, with
