TST Best Bets: November 6, 2026

The NBA Cup continues this Friday night, as we see two likely contenders to win the whole tournament look to improve to 2-0 on the road. 

First, we see the Philadelphia 76ers head to Cleveland for their second matchup with the Cavaliers this season, after pulling off an insane comeback in their home opener to stun Cleveland in their season opener. 

Then, we see the Boston Celtics take on a floundering Charlotte Hornets who are still without star sophomore shooting guard Kon Knueppel.

First Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 over the Cleveland Cavaliers

Rundown: Philadelphia keeps finding ways to win, and I’m sticking with the Sixers while they’re playing this well. They’ve won five straight and are 4-0 on the road, including a strong result in Detroit.

Cleveland has stumbled lately, dropping three of its last four, and Philadelphia already handled the Cavs by eight earlier this season. I like the Sixers to cover again.

Second Pick: Boston Celtics -8.5 over the Charlotte Hornets

Rundown: Charlotte has lost five straight and hasn’t scored more than 104 points in any of those games. Knueppel’s absence is another challenge for a team already struggling to generate offense.

Boston has won six of its last seven and held its past three opponents to 109 points or fewer. I like the Celtics to take advantage of Charlotte’s slump and cover on the road.
