Best NBA Bets Today (Sunday, Feb. 1)

Orlando Magic vs. San Antonio Spurs: Spurs to cover -5.5 spread, -110 @ BetMGM

The Spurs are coming off a 111-106 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, and they'll look to bounce back in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Spurs have been dealing with a fair share of inconsistencies of late and have gone 3-3 over their last six games, but they've covered the 5.5-point spread in the three wins they've clinched over that span. The Magic have played poorly on the road this season, with a 10-12 record, while the Spurs boast a 16-6 home record. The Spurs should take advantage of the familiarity that comes with playing at home to secure a comfortable victory here against a Magic team that has gone 19-28-0 ATS — the fourth-worst mark in the Association in 2025-26.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks: Luka Doncic over 32.5 points, -104 @ DraftKings

Doncic is coming off an impressive triple-double in the 142-111 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday, and the star guard should play a big role for Los Angeles in this matchup. He has a tough matchup against the Knicks' elite defensive scheme, but the one-on-one matchup against Jalen Brunson should be favorable for Doncic. The Slovenian guard has scored at least 32 points in five of his last six outings, and he's averaging a robust 34.0 points, 9.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: Nikola Jokic over 36.5 points + rebounds, -122 @ FanDuel

Jokic made his long-awaited return from a knee injury in Friday's win over the Clippers, where he finished with 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes. The Nuggets are likely to continue monitoring his playing time, but the big man should operate as the focal point of Denver's offense once again. He has recorded at least 36 points + rebounds in his last four full games and is averaging 30.8 points with 11.9 boards per game over his last 10 contests. The potential restriction in minutes might be the only roadblock to Jokic reaching this proposed line.
