NBA Best Bet #1: Dallas Mavericks Moneyline (-178)

Dallas Mavericks vs. Toronto Raptors Match Details

Fixture: Raptors @ Mavericks

Date and Time: Friday, November 4 (8:30pm EST)

Venue: American Airlines Center

Dallas Mavericks' season has been headlined by Luka Dončić's talismanic performance. Dončić leads the Mavericks in points, rebounds, and assists per game (36.1, 8.9, and 9). He has been a one-man show and it is not quite difficult to imagine where Mavericks might end up this season without him.

Their opponents, Toronto Raptors have been on a powerful offensive streak, scoring 143 and 139 in their last two games, albeit against two poor defensive teams in the form of San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks.

Without the injured Fred VanVleet, Raptors' tightly-knit defense is likely to suffer at the hands of Dončić.One less guard to run with the Slovenian and unavailable to knock down those 3-pointers is music to the ears of the Mavericks' squad. Watch out for the 23 year old Luka as he and his boys might just tank the Raptors this Friday.

NBA Best Bet #2: Phoenix Suns -8.5 (-110)

Phoenix Suns vs. Portland Trail Blazers Match Details

Fixture: Trail Blazers @ Suns

Date and Time: Friday, November 4 (10:00pm EST)

Venue: Footprint Center

Portland Trail Blazers have already been without their leading scorer for the season for a while now (Damian Lillard, 31 points per game). Since then, the injury list has quickly consumed more victims. Trail Blazers will be without Lillard, Olivier Sarr, Gary Payton II, Trendon Watford.

Anfernee Simons is a doubtful starter as well. The injury bug has also hit Phoenix, who will miss Ish Wainright and Jay Crowder. While Deandre Ayton is highly unlikely to feature given the state of his ankle, there is still hope for Cameron Payne and Torrey Craig who are being assessed in the lead up to Friday.

Devin Booker has led Suns to an impressive 6-1 record so far and is averaging 28 points per game. Booker and Chris Paul are more than capable of leading the offense and keeping pace with what will be left of the Trail Blazers.

Stay away from the lack of value on the Suns moneyline, but expect them to stamp their authority and cover the spread without breaking a sweat.
