Three NBA Totals Worth Betting Friday, January 6

After a bad Thursday, I'm betting on the totals in Knicks-Raptors, Nets-Pelicans, and Wizards-Thunder.

The first Knicks-Raptors game squeaked over the 216.5-point total with a 113-106 victory in New York on Dec. 21. This time the teams are going to play a game with long possessions. The Knicks are fourth in offensive turnover rate and Toronto has the fewest turnovers per game in the NBA. Both teams have subpar half-court offensive execution.

There are three NBA bets worth betting on Friday, January 6. NBA Best Bet #1 is under 217 in Knicks-Raptors at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Brooklyn Nets (25-13) are playing New Orleans Pelicans (24-14) on Friday, January 6. The Pelicans beat the Nets 130-108 in Brooklyn earlier in the season. Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson scored a combined 453 points for NOLA. Both teams are in top-seven of non-garbage time offensive rating vs. teams in Top-10 of net rating. Nets are 4-1 Over/Under in their last five games vs winning teams. Pelicans are also 4/1 O/U in last 5 games against teams with 60% winning rate or higher.

NBA Best Bet #2 is over 231 in Nets-Pelicans at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Washington Wizards are without All-Star Bradley Beal. Oklahoma City Thunder is without three bigs from its rotation. Kristaps Porzingis was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week in the first week of 2023. Both teams play more to the Over in cross-conference games. Wizards-Thunder part I soared over the 230-point total by 11 points.

DraftKings Sportsbook has the best bet for Wizards-Thunder at over 231. PointsBet Sportsbooks offers users the chance to make their first bets risk-free up to $2,000 and get a refund if the bet loses.
