NBA Betting Tips – 14 January

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

14 Jan 02:00 Indiana Pacers v Atlanta Hawks

The Pacers have been one of the teams you enjoy watching and they are having a fairly good season. One reason behind their success this season is their star player Tyrese Haliburton. Now the star point guard will not feature in this game and that is only good news for the Hawks. The Pacers lose so much without Tyrese on the court and Trae Young should play this game, he’ll return and help the away side get the win here. The Hawks are a much healthier side compared to the Pacers, back them.

Suggested Bet: Atlanta Hawks -3

14 Jan 02:00 Detroit Pistons v New Orleans Pelicans

The Pistons have become an ‘over’ team and that’s primarily because of their defensive capabilities, which are none. The Pistons allow 119.6 points per game which is the second worst in the league and in their last 6 games, the over has come in all their games. The Pelicans allow 113.3 per game and even without Zion or Brandom they still have offensive depth. Take the over here.

Suggested Bet: Over 229

14 Jan 05:00 LA Clippers v Denver Nuggets

This Nuggets side might be the best team in the league right now. The Nuggets have faced the clippers twice so far this season and each time they have beaten them and covered the spread. In their last 6 head-to-head the Nuggets havent lost to the Clippers. Clippers have a good defense but the Nuggets have one of the best offenses in the league, and good news for the Nuggets is that Jamal Murray is returning. The Clippers wont have Paul George. I have to take the Nuggets here, they will be on top of the western conference after this game.

Suggested Bet: Denver Nuggets +1

14 Jan 05:00 Sacramento Kings v Houston Rockets

There’s not much to read into here besides the fact that the Kings are going to win. The Rockets are on a 8 game losing streak and sitting bottom of the league standings. They will also not have Kevin Porter Jr and he’s leading the assists and steals for them. The Kings beat the Rockets just 2 nights ago and should do it again here.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento King ML
