NBA Betting Tips: 17 November

NBA is taking a centre stage tomorrow morning, 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.

17 Nov 02:30 Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets

Miami is a good team, yes, they are currently on a 6 game-winning streak. But the problem with the Heat is that they struggle when it comes to covering the spread. Now the Nets are a young team that can really shoot the ball well, in 5 away games played they only failed to cover the spread once. These two have already played this season and it ended with the Nets winning and they were big underdogs with odds of 3. Brooklyn averages 114.2 ppg while Miami averages 109.6 ppg. Last season the Nets swept the Heat, either they take another win here or cover the spread. Miami focuses more on defense and why they fail at covering the spread.

Suggested Bet: (+9.5 Brooklyn Nets)

17 Nov 05:00 Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Steph Curry is ruled out of this game and that’s a big advantage for OKC and I see them winning. The Warriors are going through a slump right now having lost their last 4 games played, and Draymond Green is also suspended for this game. The Thunder are top 10 in ppg and have a field goal percentage of 49.2%. They lost to the Warriors already this season, but it was only by 2 points in a game Steph played. OKC is the better team here, they have won 4 of their last 5, take them to get revenge.

Suggested Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder ML
