Best Bets - 12/16/2024
76ers vs Hornets
Best Bet: 76ers -3.5
Reasoning:
The 76ers are on a three-game road win streak, indicating they’ve found some rhythm away from home.
Charlotte’s offensive woes and the absence of LaMelo Ball give Philadelphia a distinct advantage.
Philadelphia’s balanced play and recent competitiveness suggest they can cover a modest spread against a Hornets team in disarray.
Secondary Bet: Under 216.5
Reasoning:
Both offenses have struggled recently, especially the Hornets who are missing their primary playmaker.
The 76ers don’t need a high-scoring affair to win, and a slow-paced, defensive game is likely given current rosters and form.
Projected Score:
76ers 108, Hornets 99
Heat vs Pistons
Best Bet: Heat -4.5
Reasoning:
Miami’s four-game winning streak and superior defensive record position them well to cover a modest spread against a struggling Pistons team.
The Heat’s strong three-point shooting and defensive consistency give them a clear edge.
Secondary Bet: Over 218.5
Reasoning:
While the Heat’s defense is strong, Detroit’s poor defense and Miami’s capable offense could still produce enough points to push the total over.
The Pistons can contribute just enough scoring at home to lift the combined total above 218.5, especially if Miami’s threes are falling.
Projected Score:
Heat 114, Pistons 108
