NBA Betting Tips: 08 December

NBA is taking a centre stage tomorrow morning, 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.

08 Dec 00:00 Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks

The first game in Vegas here and the best bet for this game is the over. These two met already during the regular season in a game that ended 126-124 for the Pacers. This fixture has been great for the Over in recent years, the last time the Under came was in 2021. We already know the Bucks aren’t as good defensively as they used to be and with the Pacers, they allow the most points in the league. I see this game to be fast-paced, both teams can shoot well from beyond the arc, and take the over.

Suggested Bet: 76ers ML

08 Dec 04:00 Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Pelicans

I think the Bookies have got it wrong with this one, this game is going to be close and that is why I am going with the underdog. When you look at their stats these teams are very similar when it comes to FG percentage or ppg, but the Pelicans do have a better offense though. For the Lakers to win this game Lebron James will have to play more minutes than he desires. In the period that he will be resting the Pelicans will take advantage of that opportunity. Take them with the spread here, as this game will be decided in the fourth.

Suggested Bet: (+7.5 New Orleans Pelicans)
