The 2022-2023 NBA regular season continues on Sunday (October 30) with 16 teams in action. Take a look at three strong team bets for tonight, including the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Washington Wizards.
Best NBA Team Bet #1: Golden State Warriors -7.5 (-110)
The Golden State Warriors are just 3-3 early in the season, however, they have outscored their opponents by 10.7 points per game in their three wins. The Warriors will be facing a 1-5 Detroit Pistons team that has been outscored by 16.6 points per game in their three losses.
Furthermore, the Warriors have led the NBA in scoring, averaging 120.8 points per game. The Pistons defense has allowed 122.8 points per game, the most in the NBA. Expect Golden State's offense to get going early, while Detroit's 24th-ranked offense struggles to keep up. Look for the Warriors to defeat the Pistons by at least eight points.
Best NBA Team Bet #2: Minnesota Timberwolves -6 (-108)
The 4-2 Minnesota Timberwolves will face the San Antonio Spurs for the third time in their first seven games of the season. The teams split the two meetings in Minnesota, and both games weren't particularly close contests, with an average margin of victory of 10.5 points per game.
While the Spurs are also 4-2 winning four of their last five, they have struggled on the defensive end. San Antonio has allowed the second-most points in the NBA this season, allowing 122.0 points per game.
While the Timberwolves have not had the same success offensively after leading the league in scoring in 2021-2022, they do enter the game coming off two straight victories where they outscored opponents by an average of 10.5 points per game. Look for Minnesota to win this game by at least seven points.
Best NBA Team Bet #3: Washington Wizards +8.5 (-110)
