Sunday November 24, 2024 Selections for NBA Bet Boosts on Bet365
1. Minnesota @ Boston= Jaylen Brown 25+ pts, 7+reb; Money Line Boston +500
- Beginning with the money line on Boston part of this it is more about Boston being hot right now (winning 6 of last 7, including snapping Cleveland undefeated streak, than Minnesota. The Wolves are a talented team that when clicking is deep and pretty balanced. But, the high number of new faces, along with some key departures (like Karl Anthony Towns) has made it a tough go. Up and down all season long so far, they just need time to really get used to playing together. Even once that happens they are not as good as Boston. Not even close.
- As for Jaylen Brown, he averages a tick over the 25 pts and 7 reb that the bet calls for. However, he has only actually posted that stat line in two games this year so far. Yet, that doesn't really cause me to much concern as he has been nothing short of spectacular none the less. With the TWolves defense still trying to find its footing sans Towns I would like to believe this won't be too difficult for Jaylen as long as he doesn't have an off night or foul trouble.
2. Dallas @ Miami= Jimmy Butler 20+ pts, 5+reb, 5+ass +700
- Jimmy is getting older, (35) and it makes it even more evident when you consider his physical and demanding style of play. His season numbers are a respectable 17.3, 5.3 and 4.9, but has only managed the required numbers 2 times in 9 games so far this season. Looking to get back to an even 500 with a win here, I would expect that Jimmy will be aggressive and the Heat in general would look to be assertive and physical. The Mavs will be without Doncic again after he missed their last game. Still, Dallas has won 4 straight. I look for them to have a let down game after that tough and draining win they just had.
3. 3 Leg Parlay Winners= Indiana(vs Washington), Philadelphia(vs LA Clippers), Sacramento(vs Brooklyn) +242
-Indiana thumping Washington should be the easiest call of the three. The Wizards are absolutely atrocious, having yet to win in November and without Jordan Poole for this one. Indiana has underachieved thus far, but they are a deep and talented team that is dangerous for any opponent.
-Sacramento taking out the Nets is the next most likely outcome. Brooklyn is 1-4 in their last 5, and 2-6 in their last 8. They are a little better than that would lead you to believe, but not by much. On the flip side, Sacramento is up and down from night to night so far. Their 5-5 record in the last ten is a perfect example of this. Two of those losses could, maybe should have been wins as they fell once in OT and one other time by just a point. They are a good team, with a skilled and versatile big, a high motored and speedy pg mixed with a few shooters should lift them over struggling Brooklyn.
-This third leg almost scared me away honestly. Yet, upon further review it isn't such a long shot. For starters the Clippers are still without Kawhi, and now are down Norman Powell who leads the team in scoring. A streaky team that at times struggles to play consistently high level basketball that admittedly have won four straight. Which they also did one other time this year. But sandwiched in between those two streaks was a three game losing streak. As for the Sixers, they have been pretty bad most of the year. Embiid not being healthy for most of it is a big part. But after Maxey called the team, and specifically the big man himself for laziness and poor play, they responded with what was so far their best game collectively of this young season. Playing at home I look for them to build on that and try to start turning this disastrous season around.
4. Toronto @ Cleveland= Scottie Barnes 20+ pts, 5+reb, 5+ass +500
-The outcome of this game doesn't much matter to this specific bet, so the winner won't much make a difference. I do believe Cleveland will come back down to earth and look much less daunting as the season unfolds a little more. I also believe that Toronto, if they manage to get everyone healthy at the same time are better than their record suggests. As for the man this bet focuses on, Barnes has had more than the 5 and 5 ass/reb 3 of the 5 games hes played. Missed by just one ass in one, and last game in his return from injury missed the reb by 2. So he is right at or above those every night. Scoring will be the question. He was being eased back from injury Thursday, and still put up 17. Aside from the first game of the year where he scored 9, the other three he has been over 20 for all of them. I think he builds upon his solid outing last go around and looks even better this time round after two days to rest.
5. (FLYER BET) Brooklyn @ Sacramento= Damontas Sabonis records triple double, Money Line on Sacramento +1000
- I already spoke a little on some of the reasons I expect the Kings to be a good choice for the money line part. The only reason I didn't delve into was their big man. Sabonis already has 3 triple doubles this season, and has been excellent almost every time out. With the Nets only Center being Nic Claxton (and I think even he would be better served playing PF), it could be another big game for the big man. Look for him to space the floor at times on offense, and constantly crash the boards and protect the rim on d. No sure thing, but hell at this pay out it could be worth a shot.
