Best bets for January 16

NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers at Philadelphia 76ers (7 p.m. ET)
NBA: Los Angeles Clippers at Toronto Raptors (7:30 p.m. ET)

For Friday’s best bets, we have two plays in the NBA. First, we like the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 76ers have had a nice bounce-back year after missing the playoffs last season, while the Cavaliers are the total opposite, as they have really struggled this season after being the top team in the East last year. Then, we like the Toronto Raptors to beat the Los Angeles Clippers. The Raptors have had a great year, and they always play well at home, so look for them to pick up a big victory here over an inconsistent Clippers squad.

Top games for January 16

NBA: New Orleans Pelicans at Indiana Pacers (7 p.m. ET)
NBA: Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets (7:30 p.m. ET)
NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves at Houston Rockets (9:30 p.m. ET)
