Los Angeles Lakers v Milwaukee Bucks
Los Angeles Lakers v Milwaukee Bucks

There are 10 NBA games to look forward to on Friday, December 9th. That means each game will be featured to decide which teams we should bet on.

We will dive into the nitty-gritty of the three different teams that bettors should be placing their tickets on and we will explain exactly why they should do so against the spread.



NBA Best Team Bet #1: Charlotte Hornets +3.5 (-110)

Looking at the offensive production in the previous four games heading into this matchup, the Knicks are averaging 102 points per game while the Hornets are scoring 111.5 points per game and are a scrappy team dealing with injuries.

A big reason why is that Charlotte has been fluent with the basketball as they are 13th in basketball with 25 assists per game while New York is 21st with 23.6 assists per game as a team. The Hornets have covered in four of the last five games against the Knicks so go with them to do so here again.


NBA Best Team Bet #2: Milwaukee Bucks -1 (-112)

The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to the American Airlines Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight and things are looking bright for the Bucks. They played once this season already back on November 27 and the Bucks won 124-115.

Milwaukee is the second-best rebounding team in the sport and third in the NBA defensively. The Mavs do not have much outside of point guard Luka Doncic, while the Bucks are solid outside of power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, so go with them to win this game as well.


NBA Best Team Bet #3: Brooklyn Nets -7.5 (-110)

The Brooklyn Nets have been absolutely dominating ever since they fired Steve Nash, as they are 12-6 since then.

They will be hosting the Atlanta Hawks in this matchup and things look a lot more interesting as shooting guard Dejounte Murray and power forward John Collins are both going to miss this game with ankle issues.

The Nets are averaging 110.3 points in their previous four games and that should be more than enough against point guard Trae Young, who looks a little lost shooting the ball this season thus far. Brooklyn is 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games against Atlanta as well so go with the Nets to cover the spread here.
