NBA Betting Tips: 13 April

There are plenty of NBA matches to bet on this week, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for two of Thursday morning’s matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

13 April 01:00 Toronto Raptors v Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are going to struggle here, the Raptors won the season series and two of the wins were on home court. For the Bulls to win this game DeRozan AND Lavine would need as much space and freedom but this is impossible because the Raptors have a good defence with the likes of OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes.

Billy Donovan could come to Toronto with a different lineup but either way, the Raptors have the defence and Pascal Siakam could end up guarding Demar. The Raptors should come out on top here as the matchups favour them, take them with their homecourt advantage to win.

Suggested Bet: Toronto Raptors ML

13 April 03:30 New Orleans Pelicans v Oklahoma City

I am going to take the under in this bet, during the regular season the under came 3 times in 4 games. The game that went over this season between these two was because the game went into overtime. Ending the season both of the teams were averaging less than 115 points per game. This young OKC squad really lacks the post-season experience and this game may prove that.

Suggested Bet: Under 232
