We are already into the second half of the NBA season, but there are still plenty of betting opportunities. ESPN has a doubleheader Friday with the Celtics visiting the Bucks followed by the Warriors hosting the Hawks. Our analysts -- Doug Kezirian (16-4), Joe Fortenbaugh (6-3), Andre Snellings (18-10) and Tyler Fulghum (13-10) -- are here to give their best bets from Friday's 11-game slate.

Friday's games
Phoenix Suns (-4.5) at Toronto Raptors
Snellings: Though the Raptors traded Norman Powell, they kept Kyle Lowry. With the rest of their primary lineup healthy again after extended bouts with COVID-19 and injury, they are back to the team that ESPN BPI identifies as the eighth-best team in the NBA. And with no more trade rumors hanging over their heads, the team should play to that level.
