NBA Betting Tips: 02 November

There are plenty of NBA matches this week, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his best bets for tomorrow morning’s games. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

02 Nov 01:00 Detroit Pistons vs Portland Trail Blazers

There are only two players in the league currently who are averaging a double on 60+ FG%, that is Nikola Jokic and Jalen Daren of the Detroit Pistons. Jalen has been the Centre causing problems in the paint for other defenders and I see it happening here. The Blazers got their first win against the Raptors, but they are still a team that will finish under 500, this Pistons side is better than the Blazers. This Pistons team has leveled on their defense, they are leading in rebounds per game at 50.8 boards per game, also averaging 0.7 blocks per game. They have more consistent players and should get their win here.

Suggested Bet: Detroit Pistons ML

02 Nov 03:00 Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies are 0-4 into the season, being without their best player Ja Morant has really been the cause of all this and I don’t see them winning here. Both teams here have a near-field goal percentage which is why the spreadline is very small, but it will all come down to the team that can get the most boards and that is Utah.

Suggested Bet: Utah Jazz ML

02 Nov 04:00 Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings

The Kings always struggle against Golden State and now this time they won’t even have their best player De’Aaron Fox due to an ankle injury. These two have already played this season in a game where Steph Curry had 41 points in a Golden State win, they were the underdogs. The Kings are struggling with their defense, especially at the 3-point line. Golden State is known for their threes, take them to win here.

Suggested Bet: Golden State Warriors ML
