NBA Betting Tips – 13 January

NBA action continues tomorrow morning and Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for three matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

13 Jan 02:00 Philadelphia 76ers v Oklahoma City Thunder

One thing about the thunder is that they can cover the spread and have done well so far this season but they are going to lose this game. The Sixers are now healthy, and this team loves to dominate the first half. In their last 6 games only once did they not win the ML for the first half. I trust the same thing to follow here, OKC doesn’t have the defence that can stop Joel Embiid. The first half ML odds will have more value than the full time, take those.

Suggested Bet: Philadelphia 76ers First Half ML

13 Jan 02:30 Brooklyn Nets v Boston Celtics

The Brooklyn Nets will be playing their first game without Kevin Durant due to injury. Now the Celtics will take advantage of this news and try to get their 5th win in a row. The Celtics can already beat the Nets with Kevin Durant on the team, they proved this in the playoffs last year. There’s no reason to bet on the Nets here when they won’t have their top scorer.

Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics -2.5

13 Jan 02:30 Toronto Raptors v Charlotte Hornets

These teams are playing each other again after seeing each other 2 nights back. The Hornets are really struggling this season but away is nothing to brag about, 17 losses and this should be their 18th. Fred VanFleet did not have a good game last time around but the Raptors still managed to cover the spread, Fred won’t put the same numbers on this game. The Hornets are horrible at defending and we can’t back them here, take the home team.

Suggested Bet: Toronto Raptors ML
