NBA Best Betting Picks: Five Best oddschecker+ Positive EV Bets for Monday's NBA Slate

We will dive into my five favorite NBA props powered by our oddschecker+ Positive EV tool tonight.

Our AI tool now has over a month of data to back its daily best bets and advantages over the sportsbook odds. With NBA season heating up, now is the best time to sign up for OC+ to get all +EV bets.

NBA Best Betting Picks - November 18

1. Trey Lyles Under 7.5 Rebounds +110 Click here for the latest Hawks vs. Kings odds

We are getting incredible value on this prop tonight.

Our OC+ tool shows us that Lyles has gone under this number in nine of his last ten games.

The expected value of this wager is 82.64%.

2. Zach LaVine Over 3.5 Assists -120 Click here for the latest Bulls vs. Pistons odds

LaVine is the top playmaker on this Bulls team.

The veteran is in a strong position to exceed this number tonight, playing against a below-average Detroit Pistons defense.

We are getting an expected value of 49.78% on this wager tonight.

3. Norman Powell Under 20.5 Points -132 Click here for the latest Warriors vs. Clippers odds

The veteran has gone over this number in three straight games.

However, our +EV tool loves the value of this under tonight.

Powell is due for regression shooting the basketball, making this an attractive prop tonight.

4. Jared McCain Under 20.5 Points -108 Click here for the latest 76ers vs. Heat odds

The rookie has been sensational to begin his NBA career.

McCain is the current betting favorite to win Rookie of the Year.

Despite his great start, he will not have enough volume to exceed this total tonight.

5. Franz Wagner Under 27.5 Points -115 Click here for the latest Magic vs. Suns odds

The Magic young star has been on a roll lately.

Wagner has scored 29 points or more in three straight games, but I expect regression from him tonight.

We are getting an expected value of 25.24% on this wager.

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December. With a long-awaited Tyson Fury showdown potentially awaiting later this year, Joshua should pursue an emphatic early finish rather than allow the dangerous but unproven Prenga to build confidence.
