Milwaukee Bucks v Atlanta Hawks
NBA Best Bets for Tonight: Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, and Milwaukee Bucks

We have an exciting NBA schedule for Friday, November 18th, with a total of 11 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: Cleveland Cavaliers -9.5 (-110)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are home as they host the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets are dealing with a bunch of injuries as point guard LaMelo Ball, point guard Dennis Smith Jr, small forward Gordon Hayward, and center Mark Williams are all ruled out. The Cavaliers are already the better team and this is a great chance for them to bounce back from their long losing streak.

Cleveland is 10th in the NBA with 114.7 points per game, while Charlotte is 23rd with 109.2 points per game. Charlotte's backcourt will struggle in this game to defend Donovan Mitchell.

Jarrett Allen should dominate down low and the Cavs should win by double digits.


NBA Best Team Bet #2: Dallas Mavericks -9 (-110)

The Dallas Mavericks are taking on the Denver Nuggets here and this should be an interesting matchup. Center Nikola Jokic and point guard Jamal Murray have both been ruled out for this game, making it extremely difficult for them to get into an offensive rhythm.

Dallas is obviously going to be led by point guard Luka Doncic, who is one of the best players in the entire league and should dominate here. Defensively, the Mavericks are second in the NBA with 106.3 points per game allowed and without many scoring options, Denver should struggle in this matchup.


NBA Best Team Bet #3: Milwaukee Bucks +1.5 (-105)

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers have one of the most intriguing matchups on the entire slate. This game has a lot of injuries to the point where it will essentially be Giannis Antetokounmpo taking on Joel Embiid with their secondary stars out as Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and James Harden are all ruled out for this game.

Philadelphia's offense has been absolutely dreadful as they are the third-worst so far with 108.5 points per game and we are getting 1.5 points here so back the Bucks here as well.
