Tiny Nick’s Top Betting Picks for November 18

Tiny Nick’s betting insights for November 18 focus on key matchups across NBA and NCAA sports. Here are his top picks for the day.

Tiny Nick’s Top NBA Betting Pick

Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets

Time: 6:30 PM CT

Nick recommends the Boston Celtics in the first half at -6.5 against the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets recently secured a win against Washington but are expected to struggle tonight.

Brooklyn ranks last in average first half margin with a -10.0 deficit at home. Conversely, the Celtics have been effective against teams looking to lose this season. They have led by substantial margins at halftime in their recent games:

11 points
10 points
10 points
19 points

Despite some inconsistencies, the Celtics’ offense is positioned to exploit the Nets’ struggling defense.

Tiny Nick’s Top NCAA Betting Picks

Ohio Bobcats vs. UMass Minutemen

Time: 6:00 PM CT

In college football, Tiny Nick highlights Sieh Bangura’s rushing performance. He suggests betting on Bangura to surpass 96.5 rushing yards against UMass. Ohio is heavily favored at -33.5 points, and UMass has shown little competitiveness this season.

Bangura has garnered impressive stats, exceeding this total in 6 of his last 7 games and averaging 104.7 rushing yards in MAC play. Poor weather conditions also suggest a run-heavy game plan in Athens.

Navy Midshipmen vs. UNC Tar Heels

Time: 6:00 PM CT

In NCAA basketball, Nick recommends a bet on UNC at -25. He believes this line undervalues the Tar Heels, who have demonstrated superior performance against weaker teams.

Navy faced a tough loss to Yale, and their lack of size will hinder them against UNC’s Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. A significant win for UNC seems likely.

Idaho State Bengals vs. Santa Clara Broncos

Time: 9:00 PM CT

Another basketball pick features Santa Clara, favored at -17.5 against Idaho State. Santa Clara has been impressively competitive, with multiple double-digit wins.

With a strong three-point shooting percentage ranked 22nd nationally, Santa Clara may capitalize on Idaho State’s weak perimeter defense. A 20-point win on home turf is a realistic prediction.
