The best NBA bets for Monday launch us into a new week.
Four games, four best bets and four same-game multis to get cure your ‘Monday-itis.’
Dallas @ Cleveland
May 10th 9:00am
Dallas visits Cleveland after dominating the reverse fixture at the American Airlines Arena on Saturday.
The 110-90 result in favour of the Mavericks meant it dealt the Cavaliers with a ninth straight defeat and in the process improved their own record to 39-28 for the season.
A 20-13 on-the-road record for the Mavericks has them poised to lock in a playoffs spot as has the form of Luka Doncic.
The star point guard, that is Doncic, launched home 24 points in 23 minutes to guide the Mavericks to the 10-point victory against the Cavaliers.
A home-court advantage for the Cavaliers should bridge the margin from the performance in Dallas but even with Colin Sexton averaging 24.4 points per game it’s hard to the results of Saturday flipping.
Suggested Bet: Cleveland Cavaliers +10.5 point spread at $1.94
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Cleveland Cavaliers +10.5 point spread
Leg 2: L. Doncic under 26.5 points
Leg 3: C. Sexton over 23.5 points
Combined odds = $6.25
New Orleans @ Charlotte
May 10th 9:00am
The Zion Williamson-led New Orleans Pelicans trek to the Spectrum Center for a clash against the Charlotte Hornets.
The Pelicans boast a losing 12-20 record on the road and will attempt to improve that record by forcing the issue in the paint.
New Orleans is second in the Western Conference scoring 54.3 points per game in the paint with Zion Williamson averaging 20.3.
Both two teams square off for the second time this season with The Hornets defeating the Pelicans 118-110 in their last meeting on January 8.
Gordon Hayward led Charlotte with 26 points, and Williamson paced New Orleans scoring 26 points.
Suggested Bet: Charlotte Hornets -3.5 point spread at $1.91

Phoenix @ Los Angeles Lakers
May 10th 12:00pm
The Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers are ready to do battle at the Staples Centre as the home team look to arrest a poor run of form.
Los Angeles has slid back to seventh place in the Western Conference standings after dropping eight of its last 10 games.
The Lakers own a 37-30 overall record, leaving them one-and-a-half games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for the coveted number six seed with just five games remaining on the regular-season schedule.
Los Angeles was unable to stop its current free fall on Friday night, losing a crucial battle 106-101 on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers +7.5 point spread
