1. CELTICS MONEYLINE (-124)
Odds: -124Probability: 58.1%Edge: 2.8%Game: Celtics vs Rockets (8PM EST)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered the best bet of the day, taking place in the Celtics vs Rockets matchup. In this matchup, our model has determined that Celtics ML is a solid wager to place. Even on the second leg of a B2B set, the Celtics have a deeper roster in this matchup – and can kill teams when their three ball is falling. They had a close win over Minnesota last night, and should keep things rolling in Houston here.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Celtics Moneyline. With -124 odds and a 2.8% edge.

2. HORNETS +7.0 (+100)
Odds: +100Probability: 52.7%Edge: 2.7%Game: Hornets vs Pistons (7PM EST)
Our Model has determined one of the best NBA bets for Friday’s game slate, setting its sights on the matchup between the Hornets vs Pistons. Our Basketball forever betting bot has pinpointed Hornets +7 as a prime bet to take in tonight’s slate. Tonight marks the third time that the Hornets and Pistons face off against each other this season, and Charlotte are 2-0 on the season series thus far. They are without LaMelo Ball in this one, but should still be able to compete against an inconsistent Pistons unit.
The Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Hornets +7, at +100 odds and a 2.7% edge.

3. RAPTORS MONEYLINE (+100)
Odds: +100Probability: 54.6%Edge: 2.3%Game: Magic vs Raptors (7:30PM EST)
According to our model, the last best player prop bet for today’s NBA slate takes place in the Magic vs Raptors game, with our model finding value in the Raptors Moneyline. Even though the Magic are playing gritty and defensive oriented basketball at the moment, they are gutted by injuries, and it’s always worth playing against them for a small sprinkle at + odds.
The Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Raptors Moneyline, with an edge of 2.3% at +100 odds.
