NBA Betting Tips: 21 April

There are plenty of NBA matches to bet on this week, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for two of Friday morning’s matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

21 April 01:30 Brookly Nets v Philadelphia 76ers

The Nets return home here and they still remain underdogs, they are not a good enough squad and this series will be very short, I’m taking the Sixers to win here. The Nets are being led by Spencer Dinwiddie as the point guard and this whole series he’s -/+ has been negative. The 76ers clearly have a better point good in James Harden, who’s a former Brooklyn Net and will love the opportunity to perform in Brooklyn. The last time the Sixers lost to the Nets was last year all the back in March, I’m taking Philadelphia to make it a 3-0 lead.

Suggested Bet: 76ers ML

21 April 04:00 Golden State Warriors v Sacramento Kings

We have a good underdog here with the Sacramento Kings and that’s the team to bet on. The Warriors are favourites here simply because of how well they play at home but the truth of the matter is that they are not a better team than the Kings. During the regular season, they beat the Kings twice on homecourt but in both fixtures, Sacramento covered the spread. Here the Warriors play this game without one of their key players, Draymond Green. We saw during the regular season how Draymond is really a valuable asset for them and without him, they will struggle in certain areas. Take the Kings as the underdog with a spread.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings +10.5
