We have an exciting NBA schedule for Wednesday, November 16th, with 10 games for the day.

We will dive into three different teams you should be placing your tickets on and will explain exactly why you should do so against the spread.

NBA Best Team Bet #1: Boston Celtics -2.5 (-115)

The Boston Celtics are on the road to take on the Atlanta Hawks here for the first of three games against each other. There is a huge difference between the offenses as the Celtics are averaging 125.5 points in their last four games while the Hawks have scored 111.3 points in their previous three games.

Throughout the season, the Celtics are third in the NBA with a +5.8 point differential and should be able to dominate here. Expect guys like small forward Jayson Tatum to step up for Boston and dominate a defensive-lacking backcourt for Atlanta in this matchup.


NBA Best Team Bet #2: Phoenix Suns +1 (-110)

The Phoenix Suns will be hosting the Phoenix Suns in this matchup for the second time this season. The last time they faced off, the Suns picked up a 134-105 home win and the Warriors are currently 0-7 on the road this season. Phoenix will be hoping that point guard Chris Paul (heel) will be able to play here, but even if he is unable to suit up, the Suns should have the advantage.

The Suns are the best defensive team in the NBA as they are allowing 106.1 points per game while the Warriors are 27th in the sport with 116.4 points per game given up. This is way too much of a factor to make us believe that Phoenix should be a home underdog here.


NBA Best Team Bet #3: Minnesota Timberwolves -6.5 (-110)

The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the road as they travel to take on the Orlando Magic. Orlando has struggled this season and is dealing with a bunch of injuries to key parts of their roster that will be unable to play in this game.

Minnesota has a better overall roster, even when completely healthy as the frontcourt of Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns should be able to dominate on the glass and keep a pretty formidable difference on the scoreboard.
