Monday is the best day of the week when it comes to the NBA. There are so many great games on the calendar every week.

This means there are tons of opportunities to win money betting. The best way to win is by spreading your money over multiple markets.

Straight bets are great in NBA betting, but you want to use a variety of means to win. Let’s break down some of the best bets and find value.

Point Spread: Celtics +4 (-110)

Celtics vs. Raptors Prediction

The Boston Celtics are coming off a dominant win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. They will travel to Toronto to face the Raptors on Monday. It’s not easy to play on the second day of a back-to-back.

Additionally, Jayson Tatum is questionable for the game, and Al Horford is out. The team needs a break, and this is the game to make it happen. However, the money is coming in on the Celtics.

This team is hot, and even though they will miss players, it’s hard to bet against Boston. The team is 5-1 ATS in their past six games.

They are also 10-4 ATS in their last 14 contests against the Raptors. Tatum is a big loss, but Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown should be able to cover the spread.

NBA Money Line Odds

Money Line Underdog: Hornets (+145)

Nuggets vs. Hornets Prediction

The Hornets will host the Nuggets on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back. This is never an easy task, but it’s the case for most teams on Monday. Charlotte beat Brooklyn as a seven-point underdog on Sunday.

The team has now won seven of their past eight games. They will face a Nuggets team that has not been very successful as of late.

The team is 1-4 ATS in their last five games. They also have not covered the spread in their past five road games in Charlotte.

Game Total: Hawks / Pacers Under 235 Points

Hawks vs. Pacers Prediction

When I bet on totals, I like to look at trends. The Hawks and Pacers have a trend that needs to be revealed for bettors looking to win. The under is screaming in this game, and here are the reasons you should bet on it Monday.

The injuries in this game are glaring on both sides of the floor. This will keep the total down, and it has recently been for both teams.

Atlanta has gone under in four of their past six games. The Pacers have gone under in four of their last five contests.

These teams have gone over more than under this year, but injuries are changing this fact.

NBA Money Line Picks

Parlay Bet: Knicks +4.5 / Rockets +7

Bulls vs. Knicks Prediction / Spurs vs. Rockets Prediction

The Knicks will host the Bulls on Monday. The money is coming in on Chicago, but they are not playing well. The team is 3-11 ATS in their past 14 games and 1-9 ATS on the road.

The Knicks are 9-4 ATS in their past 13 games and 8-4 SU in their last 12.

The Rockets are 4-2 ATS in their last six games. San Antonio has been playing well, but seven points is a big ask. The combined odds of the parlay are +284.
