NBA Betting Tips – 16 December

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.

16 Dec 03:00 Memphis Grizzlies v Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are underdogs heading into this game but that’s expected with the way the Grizzlies have been playing, Memphis is on a six-game winning streak but this could end tonight. When it comes to the defense the Bucks are much better than the Grizzlies, Milwaukee allows only 107.6 points per game and are leading the league in rebounds and behind them is the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies certainly cannot stop Giannis, in every competitive game they have played each other he’s always the leading scorer. Both teams are 2nd in their conferences, it’s going to be a good game but the Bucks like to show up against teams over 500, back them here.

Suggested Bet: Milwaukee Bucks +7.5

16 Dec 03:00 Houston Rockets v Miami Heat

The Rockets are on high momentum right now after beating the Bucks and the Suns. Here they face a Heat side that is coming off a close win against OKC where they were made to sweat. Heat have so many players which are doubtful, including Jimmy Butler. Now if Jimmy Butler plays then Miami wins this game but I still don’t see them blowing away this confident Rockets team.

Suggested Bet: Houston Rockets +12.5

16 Dec 04:00 Utah Jazz v New Orleans Pelicans

Utah Jazz is averaging 117.4 points per game and the Pelicans are averaging 117 points per game, the bet for this game is the over on points. The Pelicans are looking for revenge after the Jazz blew them out but the Jazz are not going to back down and go back and forth this will be a high-scoring contest. Last time the over could not come because of the blowout but this time take it.

Suggested Bet: Over 225
