The National Basketball Association for the season 2024/2025, games playing on the 16th of Jan 2025

16 Jan 03:00 Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks

Both teams here are playing back-to-back but the difference here is that the Hawks are coming from a win and the Bulls are coming from a loss. The Hawks have 20 wins this season that’s two more than the Bulls have had. But regardless of the Atlanta being ahead of the Bulls even having played a game less, the Hawks are a fun team to watch.

Their four gaming winning run ending 2024 was amazing and one of those games they beat the Bulls by a scoreline of 141-133. I like this game to be close but i have to take the underdogs here with the spread.

Suggested Bet: (+5.5 Atlanta Hawks)

16 Jan 03:00 San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Spurs should be beaming with confidence after their blowout win against the Lakers.  Here they take on a team that’s better than them but Memphis is just inconsistent.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if their star player Ja Morant does not get 29 points like his last game because of Wemby Guarding the rim. The Grizzlies dont have lots of blowout wins, either the spurs pull a surprise but they will cover this spread.

Suggested Bet: (+7.5 Spurs)

16 Jan 04:30 Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors

If you want to know how the season is going for Golden State just know that they currently sit outside a play-in spot. The Warriors have one win in their previous five games played while Minnesota has four win in their previous five.

The injuries the Warriors have does not help, they have been poor on offense all season and even though Minnesota struggles with defense I’ll take them to win here.

Suggested Bet: Minnesota ML
