Today's Best NBA Bets: Odds, lines & picks for Friday, Jan. 6

There are 11 games on Friday's NBA schedule. Some of the most intriguing lines are in the Trail Blazers-Pacers, Hornets-Bucks, and Nets-Pelicans games. BetQL's experts have sorted through the odds to help you find the best wagers.

The Trail Blazers play the second game of their three-game road trip tonight. They play against the Pacers. The Pacers had a four-games homestand and won each game, but they also gave up 121 points. Jusuf Nurkic should be back for the Blazers.

The Hornets are bad. They've gone 3-14 since the beginning of December. The Hornets have the second-worst offensive rating over their past five road games. Milwaukee is coming off a game where they nearly blew a 16-point lead in the final 1:14 against the Raptors before winning in overtime.

The Nets and Pelicans meet tonight for the second and final time this season. New Orleans lost to Chicago on Wednesday. Brooklyn won't be as motivated after that. The Pelicans destroyed Brooklyn on their home floor in the first game of the season and they will do the same tonight.
