Best NBA Bets for Sunday, November 2, 2025

Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks: Bulls to cover +7.5 spread, -112 @ FanDuel

The Bulls (5-0) and the Knicks (2-3) have taken different paths this season. Even though the Knicks are widely expected to be among the best teams in the Eastern Conference, they're off to a rocky start under head coach Mike Brown and have lost three of their first five games. Meanwhile, the Bulls not only remain undefeated but also hold the best record in the East after five straight wins. These two teams already met this season a few days ago, on Oct. 31 at the United Center, and the Bulls walked away with a 135-125 victory. 

The Knicks might have the edge in this one since they're playing at home, but it'd be wrong to bet against the Bulls right now. Even if the Bulls will be without Coby White (calf), they've shown enough ability on both ends of the court to believe they can make a game out of this. Chicago should be able to cover the spread here, as they've done so in every game so far this season. At the other end, it's worth noting the Knicks are on a three-game losing streak and have dropped each game by eight points or more.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns: Victor Wembanyama to record over 28.5 points, -111 @ DraftKings

The Spurs have been one of the best teams in the first two weeks of the 2025-26 regular season and remain undefeated through their first five contests. Most of that impressive run can be attributed to the impressive play of Wembanyama, who's averaging 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 4.8 blocks and 1.4 steals while logging 33.8 minutes per game. He's already established as the Spurs' go-to weapon on offense and has scored at least 27 points in all but one of his five appearances, so there's good floor and value to see him hit this 28.5-point mark. 

The Suns have opened the season with a 2-4 record, but given their wins over the Jazz and Kings, it's hard to see them putting up much of a fight against a red-hot Spurs team. Plus, Phoenix doesn't have a dominant frontcourt, and even though Mark Williams can be an imposing presence down low, Wembanyama's skill set should give him the upper hand in this individual duel. The Frenchman should deliver a dominant performance as the Spurs will look to secure a sixth consecutive victory.

Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Under 233.5 total points, -110 @ Caesars Sportsbook

The Lakers and the Heat are going through complicated starts to the 2025-26 season. The Lakers are still without LeBron James (nerve), and Luka Doncic only returned in the win over the Grizzlies on Oct. 31. This is an offense that has failed to reach the 120-point plateau in four of their six contests, going under 130 points each time, so they're far from being a dominant unit when it comes to scoring the rock. 

Plus, four of their six games have also seen under 233.5 total points scored, so there shouldn't be a lot of confidence in Los Angeles clearing this line. That's also because the Heat have been inconsistent as a scoring unit. They're 3-2 to start the season, but they've scored under 125 points three times -- but in the other two contests, they've cleared the 140-point mark. Two of Miami's last three games have had under 233.5 total points as well, so it wouldn't be surprising if this game hits the under.
