NBA Betting Tips – 20 December

NBA action continues tomorrow morning and Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for four matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

20 Dec 02:00 Philadelphia 76ers v Toronto Raptors

The 76ers are getting into their groove and have won 4 in a row while the Raptors are in a slump losing 6 straight games. The Raptors are allowing in too many points and being without their best defensive player OG Anunoby has certainly cost them. The 76ers are averaging 120 points per game, they should cover the spread and win this game.

Suggested Bet: Philadelphia 76ers ML

20 Dec 02:00 Cleveland Cavaliers v Utah Jazz

The Cavs are an under team, they are bottom in pace and the likes of Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell love to keep the ball. The Cavs went into overtime against the Mavericks and the game couldn’t even go over 200 points. Cleveland has a better defense than the Jazz. The Cavaliers are currently the best defensive team in the league allowing only 104.6 points per game but they only average 110 points per game, take the under here Utah won’t have a free-scoring game here.

Suggested Bet: Under 228

20 Dec 03:00 Oklahoma City Thunder v Portland Trail Blazers

When playing at home the best bet for OKC is the spread, they have managed to cover the spread 5 times in 6 home games. Now, whats even better is that Shai and Josh Giddey returns for this game. OKC beat the Grizzlies without Shai their best player, I have to go with them here to cover the spread.

Suggested Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder +10

20 Dec 05:00 Sacramento Kings v Charlotte Hornets

This Sacramento side hasn’t played a game in 3 days while this Hornets side is playing back-to-back. The Hornets haven’t had time to rest, they put up 115 points against the Nuggets, and they will be tired heading into this game. The Hornets last won a game on the third of January, and on their 8-game losing streak, I cannot bet on them.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings -3.5
