Happy Friday! We went a perfect 2-for-2 in yesterday’s edition of our NBA best bets, highlighted by Orlando Magic star forward Paolo Banchero notching his third straight 30+ point performance and paying out at a cool +230.
Let’s keep it rolling as we tackle tonight’s busy ten-game slate!

1. Atlanta Hawks +5 (-114) @ Boston Celtics
Few spots on the board are as compelling as Atlanta catching five points on the road. The Hawks soar into TD Garden having won three consecutive games and 14 of their past 15 overall, a stretch during which their offense has averaged a scorching 124.1 PPG. The Celtics, meanwhile, are managing a fairly crowded injury report as both Jaylen Brown (calf) and Derrick White (knee) are listed as questionable. At the same time, Nikola Vucevic remains out with a fractured finger. Factor in Atlanta’s reliable 14-9 ATS mark (60.9%) as a road underdog this season, and I’m all in on the Hawks against a potentially depleted Boston lineup.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder -19.5 (-114) vs. Chicago Bulls
Yes, laying nearly 20 points in an NBA regular-season game looks aggressive on the surface, but the situational context makes this one difficult to fade. Oklahoma City’s league-best 57-16 record comes attached to a staggering +801 scoring differential, and the Thunder are gunning for their eighth consecutive home win. On the other side, the Bulls are firmly in tank mode with their sights locked on the lottery. Chicago just surrendered a jaw-dropping 157 points to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday and has gone a dismal 1-6 ATS in its last seven matchups against OKC. If anything, this line might not be big enough.
