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


 

Grizzlies @ Magic


BET: 🔥
Magic at the moneyline with Unibet (+500)

📈4.9% edge on the sportsbook's odds

We're not afraid to make the big calls here at Dimers, and when we see betting value we are going to call it out. Orlando should not be +500 odds against Memphis on the second night of a back-to-back; it's plain and simple, that's why DimersBOT has detected an edge.

The Griz did take care of business last night, but typically back-to-backs are split more often than not. This is worth a stake for sure.

Yo, Virginia! Unibet is now live in VA. Why is that good? Because they're giving you the best welcome offer we've ever seen! For a limited time, you can claim a $100 free bet with Unibet - no deposit required! That's right; just open an account and get $100 of absolutely free money to bet with.

Don't miss out! Sign up with Unibet in Virginia today. Not from VA? That's ok. Unibet still offers free $20 bets to new customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana - no deposit required!

Pelicans @ Timberwolves

 

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

📈 52.1% probability

With hope of landing a play-in spot to go to the postseason slipping away, the Pels need to wake up and wake up fast. They've dropped a lot of winnable games, but this one against the Wolves is a non-negotiable. Win and they've still got a chance. Lose and it's all over. Our data likes New Orleans to keep the dream alive.

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

Raptors @ Jazz

BET: 🔥 Toronto Raptors at the spread with BetMGM (-110)

📈 53.2% probability

The Jazz have lost three of their last four games and the doubts that have lingered among many NBA fans throughout the season are starting to come to the fore. Is Utah an actual threat in the Western Conference? Time will tell, but tonight against the Raptors, our data has projected that the line is far too big against a team that is having a tough time of things right now.
