The 2022-2023 NBA season continues on Sunday, December 4th, with 16 teams in action. Take a look at three strong team bets for tonight's action, featuring the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, and Cleveland Cavaliers.


Best NBA Team Bet #1: Los Angeles Lakers ML (+120)

The Los Angeles Lakers have looked like a different team, winning seven of their past nine games after a 2-10 start. The Lakers have figured things out on the offensive side after looking awful on that side of the ball to start the season, thanks in large part to Anthony Davis, who has played like an MVP candidate to begin the season.

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been trending in the opposite direction. The Wizards have won just one of their past six games. Look for Los Angeles to continue clicking and defeat the struggling Washington team. Despite entering as underdogs, expect the Lakers to defeat the Wizards outright.


Best NBA Team Bet #2: Sacramento Kings -3 (-108)

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the NBA's biggest surprises this season. Sacramento is off to a 12-9 start and in fifth place in a crowded Western Conference postseason race, thanks to one of the best offenses in the NBA. The Kings, who rank second in scoring and third in offensive rating, are coming off back-to-back 20-plus-point blowout victories.

On the contrary, the Chicago Bulls enter this contest coming off back-to-back road losses. They are just 9-13 and in 12th place in the East. They have struggled on the road all season long, as they are just 4-8 away from Chicago.

Meanwhile, the Kings are 7-4 at home. Look for that trend to continue as Sacramento defeat the Bulls by at least four points.


Best NBA Team Bet #3: Cleveland Cavaliers -3 (-110)

The New York Knicks have done a terrible job of protecting their home court, as they are just 4-7 at Madison Square Garden. Furthermore, they have lost their past five home games. Their opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have been one of the best teams in the league, as they are 15-8 and third in the Eastern Conference.

Cleveland's defense ranks first in opponents points per game and second in defensive rating. Look for the Cavaliers to shut the Knicks down, handing New York their sixth straight home loss by at least four points.
