NBA Betting Tips: 06 April

There are plenty of NBA matches to bet on this week, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for three matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

06 April 01:00 Detroit Pistons v Brooklyn Nets

No team in the league has registered more losses than the Pistons and they have 1 win in their last 21 games. The Nets may be inconsistent but they are the better team here by far and should get the win. The Nets are in a contest with the Miami Heat for the 6th seed, they know they cannot afford to lose this game. Just like Miami who beat the Pistons last night, the Nets will collect a win here. Both teams are playing back-to-back so it will be a fair game in terms of fatigue but not quality, take Brooklyn.

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets -4.5

06 April 01:30 Boston Celtics v Toronto Raptors

The best to go for this game is the under. Boston just like Toronto are playing back-to-back but the difference is that Boston are coming from a heated/competitive game against the Sixers while Toronto blew away their opponents. It won’t be a surprise if the Celtics rest some players here. The Raptors are a good defensive team and they are in the bottom half when it comes to pace. The two previous head-to-head between the teams have had the under and I see the same happening here.

Suggested Bet: Under 225

06 April 02:30 Dallas Mavericks v Sacramento Kings

The Mavericks used to be an under team because of their style of pace and defense. But since their traded away some of their key defenders, the over has been the bet to go for on their games. Dallas has no defense but they can score and this game is a must-win for them. Now here they play the Kings a team that is already going to the playoffs and dont have to win this game. But win or lose the Kings always score, they are going to frustrate the Dallas defense and the over is going to come, take it here.

Suggested Bet: Over 235
