NBA Betting Tips: 15 February

There’s some NBA action in the early hours of the morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared some betting tips for three matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

15 Feb 02:30 Milwaukee Bucks v Boston Celtics

The Celtics managed to beat the Grizzlies and the reason behind this is that they out-shot them from behind the arc. Now the Bucks are not struggling right now when it comes to scoring, the reason for them being on a 10-game winning streak. This Celtics team will be short-handed as they will be without Jaylen Brown, Malcom Brogdon, and Marcus Smart. Their star player Jayson Tatum remains doubtful but you have to take Milwaukee with a spread here. The Bucks have a home-court advantage and they know this is an opportunity to get closer to claiming the East.

Suggested Bet: Milwaukee Bucks -6.5

15 Feb 04:00 Phoenix Suns v Sacramento Kings

This game has two bets and the first bet I am going with is a Suns win. Getting Kevin Durant has brought nothing but optimism for the Suns as they are now focused on getting the title, and that was proof in their efficient win against the Pacers, in a game, the Suns were the underdogs. I see this game to be a competitive one and the second bet which is my favourite is taking over here. The Kings are playing good basketball, win or lose the over has been coming in their last 5 games and I am taking it here. The Kings have a problem defending three’s and The Suns shoot the threes with a 38.7% at home. This game will go back and forth, the Kings lead the league in scoring, take the over here.

Suggested Bet: Phoenix Suns ML/ Over 228

15 Feb 05:00 Los Angeles Clippers v Golden State Warriors

The Warriors will be without Steph Curry and the status of Klay Thompson remains doubtful. But this Clippers team will have Kawhi back and the likes of Mason Plumlee, Bones Hyland, and ERIC Gordon are set to make their debuts here. The Warriors are really a good offensive team but the Clippers can really play the defense, and they only allow 111.0 ppg. This is a game I see the Clippers winning with a nice lead, the Warriors are playing back-to-back and some players will feel the fatigue.

Suggested Bet: LA Clippers -5.5/ Under 232
