By: Kim Smith Published 11/21/2025, 04:45 AM ET

With so many sports going on right now it is easy to find a game in almost all the sports to call our best bets. That is what I have here is the best bets across college basketball, NBA, and the NHL for Friday 11/21/25. To catch even more of our best bets make sure you check out our best bets page.

My Best Bets

  • Evansville vs Oregon State - Evansville Purple Aces +8.5 (-110)
  • Carolina Hurricanes vs Winnipeg Jets - Winnipeg Jets ML (+105)
  • Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers -13.5 (-115)

Evansville vs Oregon State

This game here should be interesting in the fact that the Purple Aces are actually scoring more points per game on average than the Beavers, but also the defense for Evansville is better. The Purple Aces, though, have only had wins over teams that are not really well known, but still had decent offensive showings in the games and the defense was not that bad either. The Beavers for their part have faced somewhat stiffer competition, but still in the game against North Dakota State only managed to put in 67 points and the defense allowed 65. With the closeness of the Oregon State games, even the ones at home I do not see them being able to cover the 8.5 point spread in this game here. Be prepared by checking out the full Evansville vs Oregon State pick.

Hurricanes vs Jets

The Jets are facing the Hurricanes at home in this game here and that could be interesting from the standpoint that the Hurricanes are on the road and are coming off of a road loss to the Minnesota Wild in a shootout. The Jets are coming off of a win over the Blue Jackets and it was a dominating victory for the Jets. Look for this to continue in this game here as the Jets are able to do a little bit better than Carolina in this game here, but also the Hurricanes are going to continue to experience some road woes in this game here as the white out conditions that Winnipeg has become known for will creep up and win out. Check out the full Jets vs Hurricanes Pick.

Cavaliers vs Pacers

This game here should be one that the Pacers continue to have their struggles scoring and the opponents are able to take advantage of a weak defense. The Cavaliers offense is only averaging 120 points per game and the defense gives up 116 points a game. Still, the Pacers are coming in with a total of only 110 points per game scored and that is overall. The defense for Indiana, though, is a nightmare and does not even show up on the courts in most cases as the Pacers are giving up a horrible 123 points a game. That type of points allowed would definitely explain the 2-13 record on the year. Now, the other factor that is making me look more at the Cavaliers in winning this game is the fact that Cleveland is shooting at 46% from the field versus the Pacers who are shooting at only 41%. Those factors are all combined to make it easier for me to see the Cavaliers winning in this game and covering the spread. Check out the full Cavaliers vs Pacers pick.
