The NBA season continues on Monday (November 7th) with a full slate of games, as all 30 teams are scheduled to take the court.

Take a look at three team bets for tonight's action, featuring the Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, and Phoenix Suns.


NBA Best Bet #1: Milwaukee Bucks -3 (-110)

The 9-0 Milwaukee Bucks have been the best team in the NBA early in the season. The Bucks are the last team without a loss, thanks to the NBA's top defense. Milwaukee currently ranks first in the league in both opponents points per game and defensive rating.

Through nine games this season, the Bucks have outscored opponents by 11.8 points per game. Furthermore, their opponent, the Atlanta Hawks, could be without their star point guard Trae Young, who is questionable to play with a shin injury. Whether Young plays or not, look for the Bucks to win this game by at least four points.


NBA Best Bet #2: Brooklyn Nets +6.5 (-110)

The Brooklyn Nets have won three of their last four after a 1-5 start to the season. Despite Kyrie Irving's suspension and Steve Nash's firing, Brooklyn enters their matchup with the Dallas Mavericks coming off back-to-back wins. After allowing at least 105 points in each of their first eight games, the Nets allowed their opponents to score just 86 and 94 points. With Ben Simmons questionable to return tonight, Brooklyn's defense may have another good defender.

This will be the second time the Nets and Mavericks face off this season. Although they won their first game, they needed overtime to do so, winning by four points. Look for another close game in the two teams' second and final meeting of the season. If Brooklyn loses, expect it to be by no more than six points.


NBA Best Bet #3: Phoenix Suns -2.5 (-110)

At 7-2, the Phoenix Suns have the best record in the Western Conference. They have been excellent on both sides of the ball in the early season. While an injury to Cam Johnson may hurt them in the long term, don't expect it to tonight.

The Philadelphia 76ers enter this matchup coming off back-to-back losses to the Washington Wizards and New York Knicks. They will be without James Harden, while Joel Embiid is questionable to return from an illness. Look for the Suns to take advantage of Philadelphia's absence and win by at least three points.
