NBA Betting Tips: 10 January

NBA continues in the New Year, 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.

10 Jan 02:00 Detroit Pistons vs Sacramento Kings

The Kings are favourites to win this game and they should, but I am going with a more valuable bet, and that is the over. These two haven’t played an under game since 2021 and I see runs here. The Kings have a bad defense, they allow 118 points per game, the Pistons will push them here, and being at home it wouldn’t be a surprise if they covered the spread here. It’s no secret Detroit’s games have been going over, they are playing much better now, and I see the over-following here.

Suggested Bet: Over 230

10 Jan 02:30 New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers

Since OG Anunoby arrived in New York the Knicks have been excellent, in the 4 games played they have covered the spread in 4. Here they are home as favourites and it wouldn’t be a surprise if this game resulted in a big blowout. Jalen Brunson’s efforts cannot go unnoticed, he has been one of the best guards in the league and will lead the Knicks to win here. For much more value I have taken the Knicks to win the first half.

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks first half ML

10 Jan 03:30 Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies

Things were starting to look up for Memphis but now their guard Ja Morant is out for the season due to surgery. Against really good sides the Grizzlies will struggle and here they will lose in Dallas. Dallas are in good form and they have the duo of Kyrie and Luka both healthy and the Grizzlies won’t be able to stop them. Don’t overthink this one, the Grizzlies are very efficient and should win with ease.

Suggested Bet: Dallas Mavericks ML
