There’s some NBA action in the early hours of the morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared some betting tips for three matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

02 Feb 02:00 Detroit Pistons v Washington Wizards

The Wizards are on a good run right now and as long as that is going on I have to capitalise on that. Kendrick Nunn has fit in right with the Wizards he is averaging 12 points per game and is 3-0. The Pistons are the second-worst team when it comes to their defense, they allow 120.1 ppg. They do not have the defense that will stop the Wizards and the last time they played against each other the Wizards won 120-99, I’m not expecting the same scoreline considering the Pistons will have some home-court advantage but they are still losing here. Trust the Wizards to make it 7 wins in a row.

Suggested Bet: Washington Wizards ML

02 Feb 02:30 Boston Celtics v Brooklyn Nets

As good as the Nets were against the Lakers, this Celtics team will be playing their superstars. If the Nets had KD for this game then they would be good underdogs but heading into this game they do not match the Celtics offensively and defensively. In their last 10 head-to-head the Celtics have come out on top 9 times. This should be a nice win to kickstart a good month for the Celtics.

Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics ML

02 Feb 03:00 San Antonio Spurs v Sacramento Kings

The Kings are now third in the West and I am backing them to win this game. The Kings have a field goal percentage of 49.3 which is the top 3 in the league and they are averaging 119.5 ppg which is the best in the league. Even when De’Aaron Fox has a bad game, they still have enough players who can pull up their socks. The Spurs are getting blown out, even as underdogs they struggle to cover their spread. Bet on Sacramento here.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings ML

02 Feb 05:00 Phoenix Suns v Atlanta Hawks

Here we get a great underdog to bet on and I am going with the Atlanta Hawks. As good as the Suns have been, here they are gonna get tested. This Hawks side is fitter than the Suns who remain without 4 players. Trae Young returns for this game and the last time he played the Suns he dropped 43 points. Now Trae has more than enough help here with Dejounte Murray. As good as the Suns have been on defense recently, we have to take note that the majority of their good defensive displays were against teams below 500, here they get a challenge and the Hawks will outscore them.

Suggested Bet: Atlanta Hawks +1.5
