NBA best bets today (Predictions for Josh Hart, Immanuel Quickley and Blazers-Pelicans)

Another day, another sweep in the NBA best bets column on Tuesday night, and we’re looking to carry that momentum into Wednesday night’s slate.

Since we nailed our three-team moneyline parlay on Tuesday, I’ve got another one cooked up for Wednesday’s action. In addition to that, we have two player props and another favorite to bet for the action.

It’s been a good start to the week, so let’s keep the vibes up on the first day of March:

Portland Trail Blazers Moneyline (-120) vs. New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans @ Portland Trail Blazers | Current Best Odds

Mar. 01, 9:00 PM

NO

30-32, 28-33-1 ATS

POR

POR

29-31, 30-29-1 ATS

This is a prime bounce-back spot for the Portland Trail Blazers, who are half a game behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 10 seed in the West.

The Pelicans are just 10-21 straight up on the road, and they have struggled as road dogs, going 6-14-1 ATS.

After a terrible collapse in the second half against Golden State on Tuesday night, Portland should take advantage of the banged up Pels (no Zion Williamson, Larry Nance Jr. or Jose Alvarado) on Wednesday.

Josh Hart OVER 9.5 Points (-105)

Josh Hart is averaging just 10.0 points per game on the season, but he’s stepped up in a big way in six games with the Knicks, averaging 13.8 points per game on 8.2 field goal attempts per game.

With RJ Barrett struggling, Hart is playing a huge role off the bench for Tom Thibodeau (26.3 minutes per game).

He dropped 27 against Brooklyn in his second game with the Knicks, and I think he gets in double figures for the sixth time in seven games.

Immanuel Quickley OVER 18.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-125)

This is a disrespectful line for Immanuel Quickley, who is averaging 12.9 points, 3.1 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game this season (20.0 PRA).

Quickley has cleared this line in seven of his last eight games, including a game where he posted 24 PRA against Brooklyn.

Take advantage of this discounted number on Wednesday.

Three-team Moneyline Parlay (+102)

• New York Knicks Moneyline (-305) vs. Brooklyn Nets
• Milwaukee Bucks Moneyline (-360) vs. Orlando Magic
• Phoenix Suns Moneyline (-520) vs. Charlotte Hornets

New York Knicks: New York has won six in a row, and it dominated the Brooklyn Nets at home the last time these teams played. Brooklyn is just 23rd in offensive rating and 3-7 over its last 10 games. Roll with the Knicks at MSG.

Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks are the hottest team in the NBA, winning 15 straight, and I think they’ll win this game against the Orlando Magic even without Khris Middleton. The Magic have seen their offensive rating drop four points when they’re on the road vs. at home.

Phoenix Suns: It’s Kevin Durant’s debut for Phoenix, and the Hornets just lost LaMelo Ball, broken ankle, for the season. This should be an easy win for the Suns.
