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.
04 Feb 02:00 Detroit Pistons v Charlotte Hornets
This is going to be an interesting game, both sides are bottom in the East but I am taking the underdog here and the over on points. Both Detroit and Charlotte have terrible defences and that is why you should take the over on points here, this will be a high-scoring back and fourth game. Now the primary bet here is to take the spread for the Hornets. The Pistons do not have a defence and injuries have cost them a lot this season and the Hornets have enough fire-power to outscore them here.
Suggested Bet: Charlotte Hornets +1.5
04 Feb 02:00 Washington Wizards v Portland Trail Blazers
This Wizards team has had a nice run, winning their last 6 games and I’m taking them to win here. Jerami Grant will likely play this game but Jusuf Nurkic is completely out for this game and he’s Portland’s best Center, they will miss him. The Wizards have had a long break and haven’t played a game since the 31st, so this game might be a bit slow not bringing the over.
Suggested Bet: Washington Wizards ML
04 Feb 02:30 Boston Celtics v Phoenix Suns
Devin Booker will be returning for this game but he will likely be limited on game time. The Suns are no match for the Boston Celtics, this is a no-brainer here. The Suns were humbled at home in their last fixture and will be humbled here. The Celtics have the best points differential of any side in the league at +6.1, so I’m giving them a spread here to cover.
Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics -5.5
