Here is what the data is telling us for tonight's NBA games ⏬

---

Pelicans @ 76ers

BET: 🔥 New Orleans Pelicans at the spread with Unibet (-110)

📈 55.0% probability

Both of these teams have plenty to fight for (even if they're very different goals) and there's a good chance this one goes right down the wire!

Zion will face one of his biggest tests so far in the NBA, coming up against Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons but no one's been able to stop him and he'll see this as a chance to cement himself as one of the best players in the Association.

Check out some Zion highlights!

Rarely does our model make a spread pick and such a high probability, but honestly this looks like a great bet!

Magic @ Hornets

BET: 🔥 Orlando Magic at the spread with PointsBet (-110)

📈 52.5% probability

At the time of writing, the Magic are 9-point underdogs and this looks very gettable for them! Despite being basically out of the play-in race, Orlando has continued to fight hard wince Vuc was traded and they should be good to keep this to single figures.

ROTY favorite, LaMelo Ball, hasn't quite been himself just yet since returning from injury (including just 4 points last night) and if the Magic can keep it that way, it'll go a long way to us cashing this ticket.

But more than just that, when PointsBet is offering free bets like they are in the offer below, why wouldn't you take advantage!?

Knicks @ Suns

BET: 🔥 New York Knicks at the spread with BetMGM (-110)

📈 52.6% probability

Last but not least we have the Knicks to cover against the red-hot Phoenix Suns.

The Knicks were disappointing last time out, going down to the Nuggets by 16 points and they'll be out to rectify that against Phoenix tonight.

The Suns are the best team in the league right now but this should go down to the final buzzer, with the Knicks are sneaky chance of even stealing the win!

To best use this pick, you can't go wrong when signing up to BetMGM where new customers you can cash in even if your bet doesn't win!

Simply deposit $20 into your account, place your bet, and then wait for the money to come in, regardless of the result! It's free money.
