Best NBA Bets Today (Thursday, March 5)
Denver Nuggets +1.5 (-110) vs. New York Knicks
DraftKings Sportsbook
3:30pm ET
Kirien Sprecher: The Nuggets have not been playing their best ball since Nikola Jokic returned to action, and this is the second night of a back-to-back set. While they aren't trending in the right direction, Denver could be getting a jolt with reinforcements Friday if Cameron Johnson and Aaron Gordon are able to shed questionable tags. If Gordon is cleared to make his long-awaited return, that should make Jokic's life a whole lot easier on both ends of the court. The MVP candidate has struggled with efficiency recently, as Jokic and Jamal Murray have been forced to carry the offense on a nightly basis, but Jokic should feast against Karl-Anthony Towns if New York's other defenders have to respect Gordon and Johnson's offensive talent.
Jerami Grant U24.5 PTS+REB+AST at Rockets
FanDuel Sportsbook, -110
3:00pm ET
Nick Whalen: Grant has been running hot of late with Deni Avdija missing time, but he typically doesn't provide much outside of raw scoring. This is a difficult matchup against the Rockets -- an excellent defensive team that plays at one of the league's slowest paces. Houston ranks in the top-10 in the NBA over the last 10 games in limiting both opponent three-point attempts and three-point efficiency. Over the last month, more than half of Grant's field goal attempts have come from beyond the arc.
Coby White O1.5 made threes vs. Heat
BetMGM, -120
3:00pm ET
Nick Whalen: White is seeing relatively limited action off the bench, but he's still gone over this number in three of five games with the Hornets. This should be a pace-up spot for the Hornets against a Heat team that allowed 84 total three point attempts to Charlotte in two previous matchups.
