NBA Betting Tips: 15 November

There are plenty of NBA matches this week, 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.

15 Nov 02:00 Detroit Pistons vs Atlanta Hawks

One of the worst teams in the league are the Pistons, they are bottom in the East on an 8-game losing streak. Jalen Duren is out for this game, and he is averaging 10.6 boards per game for the Pistons, also having their best FG percentage at 62%. Atlanta could be outrebounded in this game, but the Pistons have been getting more boards than their opponents but still lose their games. Take the Hawks here.

Suggested Bet: Atlanta Hawks ML

15 Nov 02:30 Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs

OKC is not getting the best of Shai, who is averaging 29.4 ppg and 6 assists per game. The Thunder returned home here after being victorious against the Suns and they were underdogs. Victor Wembanyama and company are now on a 5-game losing streak and I don’t see it ending here. The Spurs do not have a good defense and OKC can even cover the spread here, besides Victor, no one else is a threat on the Spurs team.

Suggested Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder ML

15 Nov 04:00 Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers

Injuries keep piling up for the Trail Blazers and this is not just more game time for their rookies. The Utah Jazz finally snapped their four-game losing streak against the Grizzlies and have the opportunity to make it two wins on the spin against a side that has lost their last 3 games. For Utah to win here Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen both have to shoot well, and I see them both dropping 20+ points here, take the home team.

Suggested Bet: Utah Jazz ML

15 Nov 05:00 Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves

I think the bookies got it wrong here, the odds should be much closer than they are but I am going with the Timberwolves. Steph Curry is listed as questionable for this game and if he doesn’t play the Wolves are definitely winning. Steph Curry has been carrying Golden State on his back so far this season, he is their only player to get 20+ points. The Wolves beat Golden State in their last game and Steph even played that game. The Warriors have 1 win in their last 5, they struggle against good teams and Minnesota has the best defense in the league right now. Take Minnesota to cover the spread.

Suggested Bet: (+6.5 Minnesota Timberwolves)
