Best NBA Betting Picks Tonight | Nov. 30
Grizzlies vs. Raptors
The Grizzlies come into tonight’s matchup with a 10-10 record after a 128-101 win on Sunday against the Kings in their first game without Ja Morant. Morant is dealing with a knee sprain that he experienced last week against the Hawks. He is currently without a timetable to return. Memphis will need to rely on Dillon Books and Desmond Bane to pick up the missing production while Morant is off the floor. The Grizzlies currently rank 11th in offense efficiency, averaging 110.7 points per game. On the other side of the ball is where the Grizzlies have seen their issues. Memphis is dead last in defense, letting up a league-high 115.6 points per game.
Memphis will be up against an injury-riddle Raptors team that is looking to get back in the win column after losing seven of their last ten games. The Raptors have struggled on their home court this year (2-7 record). Tonight they will look to turn things around and get back in the win column but will have to do so without their top scorer O.G. Anunoby. Anunoby is still dealing with a left hip pointer that has forced him to miss the last six games. Gary Trent Jr. comes into tonight questionable with a calf injury. Khem Birch will be sidelined for his fourth game in a row battling a knee injury. Precious Achiuwa will see an increase role with Birch out. The Raptors are averaging 105.9 points per game on 43.7% shooting from the field.
These two teams have met once this season, resulting in a 126-113 victory for the Raptors. Even though both these teams have had success this season in cashing the over, tonight will be a different story due to all the missing offensive production. The Raptors have failed to score 100 in three of their last five games. Take the under in this one, as both teams will be playing without their leading scorer.
Best Bet for Tonight’s Game: Total Under 216.5 Points

The Warriors are dominating on both ends of the floor, ranking first in defensive efficiency and second in offensive efficiency. The Suns are just as balanced as the Warriors, ranking top 10 in both statistical categories as well. The one spot where the Warriors can look to take advantage of the Suns in from beyond the arc. The Warriors lead the league in 3-pointers made with 15.2 per game. Jordan Poole is averaging 2.7 3’s per game and continues to impress in his third year in the league.
The Suns are coming off an impressive 4-0 road trip and are knocking out any team that they face. Devin Booker and Chris Paul continue to be a dominant one-two combo. Deandre Ayton will be a key player to watch in tonight’s matchup. Ayton is averaging 17.1 points and 10.6 rebounds in eight career games against the Warriors, which is slightly above his career averages. If Booker and Paul are able to limit the Warriors 3’s, they will have a chance at making history with 17 straight wins.
The Warriors are a leagues-best 15-4 against the spread overall and 2-0 against the spread as underdogs. Phoenix is only 5-5 against the spread at home this year and 9-8 against the spread as a favorite. Given both teams have been impressive to start the season, the play is the team getting the points in tonight’s matchup. Look for Golden State to spoil the Suns’ 16-game win streak on the road and continue to show why they are the best team in the league.
Best Bet for Tonight’s Game: Golden State Warriors +2.5 points
