NBA Moneyline Picks for Wednesday, November 11
- Raptors Moneyline (+200)
- Rockets Moneyline (-249)
Parlay Odds: +320 (DraftKings)
Celtics vs Raptors Moneyline Pick
The Celtics head to Toronto on Wednesday night for an Eastern Conference showdown versus the Raptors at their home ‘Scotiabank Arena’ as Boston comes in as a 6.5-point road favorite.
Despite having lost its second-leading scorer in SF Jaylen Brown to the Sixers this past offseason, the Celtics have still had tremendous success thus far this season – entering Wednesday night’s contest with a 9-2 overall record on the season.
While Boston is currently riding high on a 4-game win streak, the Raptors are trending in the opposite direction having lost six of their last eight games prior to Wednesday night.
Despite the Celtics being the far superior team up until this point, I feel Toronto has a ton of value at +210 to warrant an outright upset pick for a number of reasons.
Boston is coming off of a very emotional, hard-fought victory having just defeated the NBA’s most stacked lineup (76ers) by over 20 points on the road in Philadelphia.
Now, the Celtics are coming off of a back-to-back having to travel from Philly all the way to Toronto to face a hungry Raptors squad eager to turn its season around.
While a great deal of Boston’s success this season can be attributed to both the phenomenal play from superstar forward Jayson Tatum and also the team’s uncanny ability to crash the offensive glass, the Celtics draw a tough matchup versus a Raptors squad that actually ranks second in the entire NBA in rebounding.
Though Boston appears to have a definitive edge particularly because Toronto is expected to be without both Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard, I actually think this is far less significant than betting markets indicate in a league where any team can prevail on any given night.
In addition to the team’s next two scorers in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, the Raptors boast a young rotation that will undoubtedly be extremely motivated to seize the moment with a massive performance in front of a Toronto home crowd.
Former Houston Cougars guard Jamal Shead has been phenomenal since entering Toronto’s starting lineup with the 24-year-old having racked up 30 points and a whopping 17 assists over his last two games.
Toronto has also seen massive contributions from center Jakob Poeltl and second-year guard Ja’Kobe Walter who thrives at both ends of the floor largely due to his spectacular athleticism.
The Raptors have one of the most underrated rotations in the entire NBA, and I expect Darko Rajakovic’s bunch to be the far more motivated team with a young core that I expect to make a statement versus a Celtics squad that is surely worn-down following last night’s victory.
Short-handed teams frequently prevail throughout the NBA’s regular season, and I think this could be a prime spot to target the Raptors who present a ton of value at +210 to reign supreme on Wednesday night in Toronto.
Pick: Raptors Moneyline (+200)
Warriors vs Rockets Moneyline Pick
For the second game I will be targeting as a part of my two-leg moneyline parlay for Wednesday night’s NBA slate, I favor backing the Houston Rockets on their -240 moneyline in a spot I expect Golden State to be very due for regression after eight consecutive victories.
While many were uncertain what to think of a very young Warriors lineup led by star point guard Steph Curry, Golden State has quickly established itself as one of the NBA’s premier squads boasting several young players in the midst of remarkable breakout campaigns.
Aside from Curry’s over 30 PPG over the Warriors' first 11 games, Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg is making a serious case for ‘NBA Rookie of the Year’ in a Draft Class that features the most talent since 2003 from my perspective.
The former Michigan National Champion has posted over 21 points per game this season, along with over seven rebounds and four assists.
Both veteran forward Draymond Green and young guard Brandon Podziemski have also made sizable contributions at both ends of the floor throughout the Warriors’ eight consecutive victories.
That said, while the Warriors have undoubtedly been extremely impressive over the last two weeks of action, I think Kerr’s bunch is a prime regression candidate on Wednesday night versus a Rockets squad that matches up phenomenally with Golden State.
While Lendeborg and Green have both been stellar rebounders thus far, the Rockets have a massive interior size advantage over Golden State with Houston boasting an elite frontcourt featuring the likes of Kevin Durant, and Alperen Sengun.
Though both Capela and Steven Adams remain sidelined, Houston still holds a sizable physicality edge with a rotation also featuring several versatile youngsters like Amen Thompson, and Jabari Smith.
The last six wins throughout this impressive eight-game stretch for Golden State have come on its home floor, and I expect Wednesday night’s matchup to be a textbook regression spot for the Warriors who will definitely have trouble with a massive Rockets lineup.
Houston’s rotation also features one of the NBA’s premier on-ball defenders in Amen Thompson, who should make it very difficult for the Warriors young core to find open looks near the basket.
Despite the stellar play from Curry and Lendeborg, I think the Rockets moneyline is a great way to round-out our value moneyline-parlay for Wednesday night.
Pick: Rockets Moneyline (-249)
