Top NBA picks for Friday, Nov. 14
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is backing the Bucks (-9.5) to stay within the spread against the Hornets in Milwaukee at 8 p.m. ET.
Both teams should be at full strength after the Bucks rested Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) in a 111-100 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday. The Bucks are the defending NBA Cup champions and have just one loss in the tournament since its inception in 2023. Milwaukee has not lost back-to-back games this season, while Charlotte has lost six of eight.
The model is projecting seven Bucks players to score 10 or more points, led by Antetokounmpo, who is projected to score nearly 32 points. The model is also projecting that this game will be decided by double figures as Milwaukee covers in nearly 70% of simulations. See which other NBA parlay picks to make here.
