<p>Wednesdays are always a great NBA betting day, and that is once again the case. There are nine games on today’s NBA schedule, with the best being saved for last as the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Utah Jazz. </p>
<p>Elsewhere, it will be interesting to see if the Cleveland Cavaliers can win a second straight game after finally seeing their long, ugly losing streak come to a glorious end last night. </p>

<h2 id="a84ac">February 24 Super Six NBA Best Bets</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>1. Lakers to cover vs Jazz (Best Bet):</strong> As noted in our <a target="_blank" href="/articles/nba/nba-betting-preview-odds-trends-best-bets-los-angeles-lakers-utah-jazz-february-24-2021/" rel="noopener">Lakers vs Jazz preview</a>, this is the kind of spot to not bet against LeBron James and the Lakers. </li>
<li><strong>2. Pistons vs Pelicans OVER:</strong> Keep rolling with it until it loses. </li>
<li><strong>3. Suns vs Hornets OVER:</strong> The Suns are rolling offensively, and the Hornets have been held to under 110 points only once in 10 February games. </li>
<li>4. Timberwolves vs Bulls OVER: </li>
<li>5. <strong>Cavaliers to cover vs Rockets:</strong> With one under their belt, the Cavs should be confident tonight to notch a second straight against a Rockets team that can’t buy a win right now. </li>
<li>6. <strong>Hawks to cover and win vs Celtics: </strong>The Celtics are struggling mightily, and tonight is not a favorable matchup even though the Hawks have not been all that great either. Trae Young will surely be playing with a point to prove after not being named an All-Star. </li>
