NBA Wednesday Best Bets, Jan. 18
Hawks vs. Mavericks Prediction
7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ ESPN
Sharps spotted a soft line right when odds were released.
The Hawks opened +3.5 but are now as low as +2. It’s a legitimate move, too.
We tracked a heavy Sharp Action alert on the Hawks plus the points tonight. Atlanta’s been bet down to the aforementioned number, but FanDuel has +2.5 available for those flexible enough to shop for the best odds.
Pick: Hawks ATS |

Pacers vs. Thunder Prediction
8 p.m. ET ⋅ BSOK
The Thunder are 4.5-point home favorites against the Pacers. Sharps love the road team to cover tonight.
Indiana is generating fewer than one-quarter of the overall tickets against the spread (23%). However, that same team is catching close to half the handle (45%), or dollars wagered.
It’s a signature pro play, and both Sharp Action and Big Money alerts sounded on the Pacers.
Pick: Pacers ATS |
Wizards vs. Knicks Prediction
7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ MSG
The Wizards are the sharp side tonight. We tracked a medium-sized signal on Washington plus the points, as wiseguys felt the opener of 5.5 was a bit too steep.
Although the edge is not enough to green-light a bet by itself, projections also think this line is a tad inflated, making the Wizards +4.5.
Pick: Wizards ATS |
