What to Bet on Today at the New Sportsbooks?

NBA: Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors (6 p.m. ET)
NBA: Indiana Pacers at Portland Trail Blazers (9 p.m. ET)

For Sunday’s best bets, we have two NBA bets. First, let’s go with the Toronto Raptors over the Dallas Mavericks. The Raptors have had a great season, while the Mavericks have been brutal this year, so expect the Raptors to win this game at home, where they play their best basketball. We also like the Portland Trail Blazers to beat the Indiana Pacers. The Trail Blazers are fighting for a play-in spot in the West, while the Pacers are trying to tank their way to a top draft pick, so look for the Blazers to get a big home win here.
