NBA Betting Tips: 08 March

There’s NBA action to look forward to on Wednesday morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for four matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

08 Mar 02:00 Detroit Pistons v Washington Wizards

The Pistons are on an 8 game losing streak and they are playing back-to-back here in a game they won’t win. The good news for the Wizards is that Kyle Kuzma and Monte Morris should return for this game. You cannot overthink this game, this depleted Detroit Pistons side is not a team to bet on, take Washington.

Suggested Bet: Washington Wizards ML

08 Mar 02:30 New York Knicks v Charlotte Hornets

The Knicks are the team with the best form in the league right now, they have won their last 7 games and will win this one. Jalen Bruson has been amazing for the Knicks but in the last game he was out and the Knicks still managed to win with Quickley dropping 38 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The Knicks clearly can cope with a few absentees while the Hornets have been struggling all season. Take the Knicks to win this game comfortably, they will outscore this Hornets side.

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks ML/ -5.5 Knicks

08 Mar 03:00 Houston Rockets v Brooklyn Nets

As inconsistent as the Nets have been, one player who has remained consistent is Mikal Bridges. The team has had to adjust to the way he plays and this has resulted in them winning their last 2 games, even beating the Celtics as underdogs.

It’s no secret that this Rockets team is not good and their last two wins were against the San Antonio Spurs. I have to take the Nets here, they will use this game as an opportunity to get the team to grow and build on confidence.

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets ML

08 Mar 02:00 Orlando Magic v Milwaukee Bucks

If there is one team Milwaukee knows how to beat, it’s Orlando. They haven’t lost to Orlando in the regular season since 2019 in the days of Aaron Gordon and Vucevic. Now here we’re taking the Bucks they know the Sixers ended their winning streak, but they know they can easily start another. The last time these two faced the Bucks blew them out, it might not be a blowout this one but the Bucks will come out on top.

Suggested Bet: Milwaukee Bucks ML
