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.
10 Feb 02:00 Orlando Magic v Denver Nuggets
As good as Orlando are as underdogs, I am not taking them here to beat the best team in the West. The Nuggets really have good squad depth, they shoot the ball better and will control this game. Nikola Jokic had a triple-double in the Nuggets’ last game, he had this triple-double in the first half! Nikola is currently averaging a triple-double every game right now, an interesting fact is that the Nuggets are 17-0 when he has a triple-double this season. Take the Nuggets to win here.
Suggested Bet: Denver Nuggets ML
10 Feb 02:30 Atlanta Hawks v Phoenix Suns
The Suns have recently traded Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, these two players were starters. I have to back the team with a full squad here and that is Atlanta. Atlanta played the Suns last week and Phoenix couldn’t stop Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, and the Hawks were better defensively too. The News of KD arriving in Phoenix is great news for the Suns but after this game, it won’t be a great result.
Suggested Bet: Phoenix Suns ML
10 Feb 05:00 Los Angeles Lakers v Milwaukee Bucks
There is too much drama around the Laker camp involving the coach and certain players, and I don’t see them winning this game too. Anthony Davis has not looked like himself since returning from injury and with the trade deadline getting closer Russel Westbrook looks to be leaving the franchise. Now a team without much drama and just playing good basketball are the Bucks! The Bucks have won 8 games in a row, and knowing how Giannis is playing right now, the Lakers don’t have a defense that can stop him.
Suggested Bet: Milwaukee Bucks ML
