Today's NBA Bets
With Christmas now over, we only have New Years Eve to look forward to now this year. Well, that’s note entirely true, we have a five games of NBA today with what appears to be a bit of value on the cards.
We’ll start with San Antonio -3.0 at $1.91 at Sportingbet. The Spurs are playing well at the minute having won 7 of their last 9 games overall, and they take on New York who slumped on Christmas day and have won just 3 of their last 6. The Spurs have been hitting 50% from the field in their last 5 compared to that of New York 41% during this time and they’ve won 8 of the last 9 encounters between the two sides. We expect that trend to continue and suggest taking Spurs on the line.
Houston are $4.55 to win at Cleveland $1.23, but there looks a bit of value in the Rockets. Hosuton have won 4 of the past 5 clashes between the two, covering the spread in four of those games. In fact, they beat the Cavs by 10 pots only a fortnight ago. This one is a tough ask, but the IASbet are giving the Rockets a 8.5 head start which we believe is great value. Look at taking Houston +8.5 at $1.91.
The other games are a little less compelling. Indiana +7.5 could be value given the Pacers have form over their opponents Miami, but it’s hard to ignore their poor form throughout December. Denver have won their past 10 against Dallas, covering the spread in 9 of those games. Denver -5.0 could be the bet here. Boston travels to LA to take on the Clippers in today’s final game. The Celtics are firing at the minute, but their record against the Clippers in recent times is less than flattening. We’d suggest not betting in this one.
