NBA Betting Tips: 16 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.

16 Feb 02:00 Indiana Pacers v Chicago Bulls

The Pacers have fallen short with their form but this is a game they should win, considering the Bulls will not have their superstar Demar DeRozan. Last time these two played against each other the Pacers won on home court and they won this game because they outscored the Bulls on 3-point FG made. When playing at home the Pacers shoot at 35.9% and the Bulls when playing away they shoot at 33.8%. In this game, the Bulls will get outscored and I see Tyrese leading the Pacers to a win breaking their bad run of games.

Suggested Bet: Indiana Pacers ML

16 Feb 02:00 Charlotte Hornets v San Antonio Spurs

There is very few games during the season that you can bet on the Hornets and this is one of them. The Spurs are just trying to get a top pick at this point so winning games does not matter to them. They recently lost Jakob Poeltlas he now plays for the Raptors and was their best defender. I can’t take the spread for this Hornets team but the Moneyline has good odds, take them to win here.

Suggested Bet: Charlotte Hornets ML

16 Feb 02:30 Brooklyn Nets v Miami Heat

Here we get a good underdog, Miami is just not playing good basketball and hasn’t been covering the spread. Miami is short-handed and will be lacking shooters for this game meanwhile Brooklyn is stacked with shooters. If Miami wins this game it will be a close and ugly win but I don’t see them covering the spread here. Take the underdog.

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets +6.5
