Free NBA Picks For Wednesday October 20, 2021
Pacers vs. Hornets
BET: Hornets at the moneyline (Best odds -125)
📈 55% probability
Both of these teams know the importance of games like this as they are both likely to finish the season right around the Play-In Tournament section of the standings.
In saying that, the home team look to be the better team on paper, with Lamelo Ball and Miles Bridges both set to take leaps this season.
This one should be pretty close, but with Charlotte playing at home, they look to be the safer bet to get their season started with a W.
Injury Report for tomorrow's game at Charlotte:
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) October 19, 2021
Malcolm Brogdon - Probable (left shoulder)
Jeremy Lamb - Questionable (right wrist)
Justin Holiday - Questionable (left ankle)
Kelan Martin - Out (left hamstring)
Caris LeVert - Out (lower back)

Wizards vs. Raptors
BET: Raptors at the moneyline (Best odds -139)
📈 59% probability
Next up is another home team at the moneyline, with the Raptors taking on the Wizards.
Toronto are finally back on their home court after spending last season in Tampa, and with their fans behind them once again, we're backing them in to get the dub.
The Raptors are going to be absolutely devastating to deal with defensively this season, with guys like OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes all nightmares to come up against.

76ers vs. Pelicans
BET: 76ers -3 (Best odds -110)
📈 52% probability
A lot of the talk around Philly right now is about Ben Simmons, when really it should be about Joel Embiid. The monster center from Cameroon is coming off a career-best season in 2020-21 and looks set to be even better this season.
Even without Simmons, the Sixers are the much stronger team on both offense and defense here and should have enough to see off a Zion-less New Orleans team with relative ease.
