Free NBA Picks: NBA Best Bets and Money Line Selections for 1/23/22

There were only three games on the schedule last night but we bet all of them on the Money Line and we cashed them all. That improved our Money Line record to 66-41. Our Best Bet was Indiana +12.5 against Phoenix and a late rally by the Pacers made that a winner also. That improved our Best Bet of the Day record to 16-13 and kept our hot streak going. There are 11 games on tap for today and, as always, they will be a challenge to hit. Let’s see what we can find and hit some winners.

Papa Dudes Best Bets for the NBA Today

Atlanta 20-25 at Charlotte 26-20 (-3): The Hawks have righted the ship as of late, and are on a three-game winning streak. They beat the Heat in their last outing and they are coming into Charlotte as a dangerous team. But, Charlotte has won 7 out of 8, and they are playing just as well, if not better. They are 13-6 at home and they are improving their playoff status during this winning streak. And the big plus for me; the spread is only three points.

PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Charlotte -3
