NBA Betting Tips: 13 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.

13 Dec 02:30 Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers

The Celtics haven’t played a single game of basketball in 5 days, while the Cavs just played last night in a defeat to the Magic. Fatigue will be an issue for the Cavs, and it won’t be surprising if they rest Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell, without their star guards they will get blown away here. Boston is healthy right now and will put a show in the garden.

Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics ML

13 Dec 03:00 Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets

Jokic hasn’t been himself recently and for this Nuggets team to flourish they need their best player to be at his best. Last night the Nuggets played the Hawks in a win where Jokic was 9/13 and only 1 turnover with 3 steals and 2 blocks. Both teams here are playing back-to-back and there is one bet I see only here and that is the under. The Bulls are underdogs at home court, but this is where they play the best basketball and haven’t caused many upsets, and the Nuggets don’t always have their way when playing in Chicago. Take the under here.

Suggested Bet: Under 224

13 Dec 05:30 LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings

Ty Lue said that it will take time for this Clippers team to get on their groove and it looks like they are now starting to pick things up. They have more offensive depth than Sacramento and the Kings have listed Malik Monk as questionable for this game. I have to take the Clippers to win here, they have 4 in their last 5 at home, and both teams are playing back-to-back, the Kings might cover their spread so don’t expect a blowout from the Clippers.

Suggested Bet: Clippers ML
