Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets visit Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns for a nationally televised game on Friday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

Betting the over/under is a strange experience if all you’re used to is rooting for one team. If you take the over, you’re rooting for both teams to score. When the Los Angeles Lakers have the ball.

The game tips off at 10:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on ESPN.

The Suns have been one of the best teams in the NBA against the spread this season, with a record of 8-5, while the Nuggets have been one of the worst at 5-9. Will the Suns cover on Friday? Let’s take a closer look at the game.

Michael Porter Jr. is listed as questionable for the Nuggets, while Dario Saric and Damian Jones are out for the Suns.

Betting Over Under In Ufc

1. For example, you could bet on the over/under total points score in a basketball game. The bet might be over/under 165. If the total number of points scored by BOTH teams is over 165, the over bet wins. If the total is under 165, the under wins. Usually, the points will be in half points to prevent ties (Over/Under 165.5).
2. In football, moving a line from -3 to -2.5 has the ability to win you more money over time should the favorite actually win the game. The best times to move the line in football to avoid the push.

Advice and prediction

The Nuggets are undoubtedly in a better place since their slow start to the season, and have won three of their last five with respectable losses to Brooklyn and Utah – but the Nuggets are 0-4 against the spread as an underdog this season.

The two teams have already met once in Denver, with the Suns winning 106-103 – but Nikola Jokic had his quietest night of the season in that game, and has been markedly better in every game since. I like the Nuggets outright, but I’ll take the safer bet on Nuggets +2.5.

I’m also taking Over 219.5. Over bets on the Nuggets are 10-4 this season, and they rank 27th in the league in adjusted defensive rating. This will be a higher-scoring game than the first meeting was.

Prediction: Nuggets 121, Suns 117

After finishing off their road trip with a comeback win in New Orleans, the Hornets (4-5) host the Hawks (4-4) for the second time in three games on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

In their game on Wednesday, the Hornets jumped out to a massive first-half lead, saw that advantage completely evaporate then came from behind and won on the back of Gordon Hayward’s career-high 44 points.

The Hornets have a habit of playing to the level of their competition, which is great for the neutral fan and terrible to the better. Taking that into account and adding in that the Hornets not only are on the second night of a back-to-back but are fresh off the heels of a four-game road trip.

Atlanta should be motivated to take on Charlotte. The Hawks have had two days off since falling to the Hornets at home on Wednesday.

On the season, Atlanta is the best fifth-best first-quarter team this year while the Hornets are 19th after Friday. Bet MGM’s prop bet of Hawks -3 at +145 odds is a great bet. While it’s become a trend to pick against the Hornets in these previews, Charlotte pulling off a win on Saturday would be mighty, mighty impressive. Because of that, Hawks -3.5 would also be a good bet.

Prediction: Atlanta 113, Charlotte 108
