NBA Week 5 Rundown: Top Betting Matchups and Picks for the Week

2022 NBA Week 5

When: Monday, Nov. 14 – Sunday, Nov. 20

Los Angeles Clippers at Dallas Mavericks

Tuesday, Nov. 15

Heading into the week, the Clippers have a 7-6 record, which means they’re a couple of games behind the Suns. Dallas is 7-5.

Both teams’ stars, Paul George for LAC and Luka Doncic for Dallas, will get their points. The winner ATS and SU will come down to which team’s unsung heroes get it done. In that sense, the Mavericks are the play because their unsung heroes are more talented than LAC’s.

NBA Week 5 Pick: Dallas Mavericks

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns

Wednesday, Nov. 16

Since the season started, the Warriors have struggled. Golden State has especially struggled against the spread, they’ve gone 3-7 ATS in their first 10 games.

Phoenix heads into the week after a 114-97 loss to Orlando. But although the Suns aren’t playing exceptional ball, this happens on their floor. Expect Phoenix to get it done.

NBA Week 5 Pick: Phoenix Suns

Brooklyn Nets at Portland Trail Blazers

Thursday, Nov. 17

The Nets had played well up until their last, a 116-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Before the loss, the Nets had won 2 straight SU. Brooklyn had won 4-of-5 with a push against the spread in their previous 5 matches.

On Thursday, Kevin Durant and his mates take on a solid Blazers teams. Portland has won 7-of-10 straight up. The Blazers have gone 8-2 ATS in their last 10 and have won 4 straight ATS heading into the week. Blazers take this SU and against the spread.

NBA Week 5 Pick: Portland Trail Blazers

Milwaukee Bucks at Philadelphia 76ers

Friday, Nov. 18

Philadelphia’s form has turned for the better. The 76ers are 7-7 straight up in their last 14 games. 3 of the 7 wins have come in Philly’s last 4 contests.

Milwaukee has a 10-2 record to start the week. The Bucks are close to unbeatable but this happens in the Sixers’ arena. Playing the 76ers’ to win and cover makes sense.

NBA Week 5 Pick: Philadelphia 76ers

Orlando Magic at Indiana Pacers

Saturday, Nov. 19

The 4-9 Magic head into the week after their biggest win of the season, the 17 points win over the Suns. 6-6 Indiana beat the Raptors in their last game.

Orlando should bounce off the effort versus Phoenix. Not only that, but the Pacers have won 7 straight against the spread. Indiana notches another ATS win.

NBA Week 5 Pick: Indiana Pacers

Miami Heat at Cleveland Cavaliers

Sunday, Nov. 20

After winning their second straight, the Heat are on a mini-roll. Ah, but both victories came against the Charlotte Hornets.

Cleveland has lost 4 straight. The Cavs list Donovan Mitchell as questionable for Cleveland’s Wednesday tilt versus Milwaukee. Even if Donovan doesn’t play on Wednesday, he should be good to go on Sunday. Mitchell and backcourt mate Darius Garland will lead the Cavaliers to a win and cover.
