NBA Best Bets
Fresh off of the first day of In-Season Tournament action, we head right back into regular season matters. We dip into what should be on your radar between the undefeated Celtics as they face the Nets and a lot of chatter is on the Hornets vs. Pacers matchup.
Let’s dive right into tonight’s games with the best NBA bets and expert picks for Saturday, November 4.
I prefer going to props, but the Celtics jumped out at me here because of the simple fact that the Brooklyn Nets just played.
Literally, they hung on for dear life to beat the Chicago Bulls last night.
The Celtics — who are much better — haven’t played since Wednesday. And so far, they look like the best team in the NBA. They often are until May.
So with that, I like them by double figures. Defensively, they can give the Nets fits, especially with the streaky shooting of Mikal Bridges, Cam Thomas, Spencer Dinwiddie and others.
Pick: Celtics -9.5 (-110)

The Hornets and Pacers were both bad bets last season against the spread.
However, there’s a huge edge to consider when betting today’s Hornets vs. Pacers spread.
The Hornets fit our NBA PRO system labeled Road Dogs Off ATS Loss.
This NBA angle, which historically has hit at a 62% rate, is alerted to bet on:
- Road underdogs
- Off a loss against the spread
- When the spread is between 0-4
The Hornets have dropped three straight against the spread and there’s a reason to believe that they are a potentially undervalued Charlotte squad to cover in our PRO system prediction.
Pick: Hornets Against The Spread

Bennedict Mathurin has had some ups and downs to start the season but has struggled in his last two games against a slow-paced Cleveland team and in the blowout loss to the Celtics without Tyrese Haliburton. Over the last two seasons, Mathurin has exceeded this line of 12.5 points in 75% of games averaging 16.4 ppg.
Today, he is in a prime spot to bounce back offensively against the up-tempo Charlotte Hornets who have one of the worst defenses in the league. This game should be full of offensive opportunities against the Hornets who have already allowed six shooting guards to score 18+ points in just four games against them.
Pick: Bennedict Mathurin Over 12.5 Points (-120)
