NBA Betting Tips: 09 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.

09 Dec 02:00 Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons

The Magic will be without Jalen Suggs, now this would be a positive for any other team in the league but not the Pistons. The Pistons look likely to end the year without a win. Paolo Banchero had a career-high in his last game when he scored 42 points and had 6 boards, now that was against a good Cavs defense the Pistons won’t even think of stopping him here. The Moneyline has little to no value so take the spread for the Magic.

Suggested Bet: (-6.5 Orlando Magic)

09 Dec 02:30 Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards

The Nets host the Wizards here and the home team has only lost once in its last 5 home games, while the away team has only won once in its previous 5 games. The Nets should be higher on the standings but in most of their losses this season they managed to cover the spread but now they are getting their wins. This game could also have the over because both sides averaged over 115 points per game.

Suggested Bet: (Brooklyn Nets ML/ -5.5 Nets)

09 Dec 04:00 Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings

Both teams are not in form but the Suns here have more injuries compared to the Kings. The Suns will be without Kevin Durant and Grayson Allen, now Kevin Durant is really a big loss for them here. For the Suns to win here Devin Booker must really have a game but Devins’s last two against the Kings have ended in two defeats for the Suns. The Suns are ranked 22 when it comes to their bench, it’s a very unpredictable bench, while the Kings have a top-5 bench. Take the Kings here.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings ML

09 Dec 04:00 Denver Nuggets vs Houston Rockets

Houston plays their best basketball in Houston, the last time they won away was back in October against the San Antonio Spurs. The Nuggets have always been a good home team, with only a total of 14 wins this season, 11 of those have been in Denver, and they have won 11 straight home games. The last time Houston won in Denver was back in 2018 when James Harden was still on the team, dont overthink this one take the Nuggets.

Suggested Bet: Denver Nuggets ML
