Best NBA Betting Picks Tonight | Nov. 9
Hawks vs. Jazz
After starting the season red hot, the Jazz dropped two of three on the road to move to 7-3 on the season. Utah is back home to kick off a five-game homestand where they will face the Hawks. The Hawks are coming off a loss to Golden State last night after leading by 4 points at the half. They will now play on a back-to-back against a Jazz squad that is undefeated at home.
Utah comes into this series winning four straight against the Hawks, including a 116-98 victory last Thursday in Atlanta. This was a rather strange game, with the first half total ending at 78 points, followed by a 135-point second half. Utah was without Donovan Mitchell, and Jordan Clarkson seized the opportunity with a 30-point performance, shooting 10-for-19. Utah is the favorite again in tonight’s matchup with Mitchell back in the lineup, but the focus is on the total.
Utah has cashed the under in seven of their first 10 games this season. The Hawks are 5-5 on over/unders on the season. The under has cashed in the last four meetings, with the average total ending at 210.5. Utah comes into this game ranked fifth in defensive efficiency. Utah will look to limit the Hawks from deep, holding opponents to 29.3% from 3, second lowest in the league. Look for Utah to control the pace and get the win in a bounce back on Tuesday.
Best Bet for Tonight’s Game is Total: Under 223 Points

Trail Blazers vs. Clippers
The Trail Blazers open up their road trip in Los Angeles well rested. Portland is still searching for their first win on the road, going 0-4 straight up and against the spread. Damian Lillard has struggled through the first 10 games, shooting 35.4% from the floor and a lousy 26.8% from 3. On a positive note, Lillard put up 25 points and went 6-for-14 from 3 in a win against the Lakers on Saturday. He will look to string together another solid performance tonight against the Clippers.
The Clippers are riding a four-game win streak, with their last loss coming on the road in Portland on Oct. 29. These two teams have already met twice this season, splitting the series 1-1, with both winning by double digits on their home court. Tonight they face off for the season series at Staples Center, with the Clippers looking to make it five straight wins.
Paul George is handling the offensive workload without Kawhi Leonard to start the season, averaging a career-high 27 points per game. The Clippers have won six of the last seven in the series matchup. Los Angeles is 3-1 against the spread after a win this season. The Clippers have covered the spread in their last three games. Expect Tyronn Lue to make the necessary adjustments in this matchup and for the Clippers to continue their winning ways on Tuesday night.
Best Bet for Tonight’s Game is Spread: Los Angeles Clippers -3
