What to Bet on Today at the New Sportsbooks?

NBA: Charlotte Hornets at Indiana Pacers (7 p.m. ET)
NBA: San Antonio Spurs at Brooklyn Nets (7:30 p.m. ET)

For Thursday’s best bets, we have two NBA bets. First, let’s go with the Charlotte Hornets over the Indiana Pacers. The Hornets are one of the most underrated teams in the league right now, and we believe they have what it takes to pull off a road win here against a tanking Pacers squad. We also like the San Antonio Spurs to beat the Brooklyn Nets on the road. The Spurs are one of the top teams in the West, while the Nets are another tanking team in the East, so we fully expect the Spurs to dominate this game and cover the spread.

NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Clippers (10 p.m. ET)
