The 2022-2023 NBA season continues on Saturday (November 12) with 16 teams in action. Take a look at three team bets for tonight's action, featuring the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Toronto Raptors.
NBA Best Team Bet #1: Brooklyn Nets ML (+105)
This Brooklyn Nets' team looks like a completely new setup with head coach Jacque Vaughn calling the shots as they have completely bought in on the defensive side of the floor. They are holding teams to 90.3 points in their last four games and the Los Angeles Clippers are not a good offensive team this season.
The Los Angeles Clippers are last in the NBA as they are averaging 104.7 points per game. Both teams are without some top-tier talent for this game as both Kyrie Irving (suspension) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) are out for this game.
This should be a great matchup, but Kevin Durant should be able to score like he did against the New York Knicks and dominate as the Brooklyn Nets pick up a win to begin their road trip.

NBA Best Team Bet #2: Philadelphia 76ers -3 (-110)
This Philadelphia 76ers team needs to wake up and wake up fast as they are 5-7 on the season and will be without point guard James Harden for another few weeks as he recovers from a foot injury. They get a rematch from last night as they take on the Atlanta Hawks here, this time at the Wells Fargo Center.
Joel Embiid is going to dominate in this game as he is not going to be in foul trouble here and there is no way Clint Capela is grabbing 20 rebounds in back-to-back nights. The Sixers need to shoot better than 38.6 percent from the floor to win games because a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference could fall out of reach fast.
A little home cooking could do the trick here as Joel Embiid seems a lot better at home than he does on the road in the early going. This should be a close game, but the Sixers should pick up the win in this game.

NBA Best Team Bet #3: Toronto Raptors +2 (-115)
There should be no reason why the Toronto Raptors are underdogs against the Indiana Pacers this season. The Raptors are a far and away more talented team that is trying to win games now while the Pacers look towards the future.
Fred VanVleet has played well as he is averaging 18 points and seven assists this season. He is also a beast in terms of forcing steals with 2.3 steals per game and should be able to limit the backcourt of Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin in this game.
According to DunksandThrees, Toronto is sixth in the NBA with a +3.8 adjusted net rating this season while Indiana is 20th with a -1.9 rating. This feels like easy money so I will gladly take the points.
