There’s NBA action to look forward to on Thursday morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for three matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.
23 Mar 01:30 Dallas Mavericks v Golden State Warriors
The Warriors finally won an away game ending their 8-game losing streak on the road but what we all know is that it was a win against the bottom-seed Rockets. Now here Dallas is hosting the Warriors and I know they are great underdogs. The Mavericks know they are one win from getting out of a play-in position and they are going to make Golden State sweat. Luka remains doubtful for this game but if he plays the bet to go for is Dallas Mavericks otherwise take a spread here.
Suggested Bet: Dallas Mavericks +5.5
23 Mar 01:30 Toronto Raptors v Indiana Pacers
There is one team to go for here and that is the Raptors, they head into this game knowing that a strong season finish and they can finish in the top 6. The Pacers are without Haliburton and without him it’s looking like their post-season hopes are over. The Pacers were good underdogs when they surprisingly beat the Bucks but they shot well from behind the arc that game, converting 22 threes. Now the Raptors can defend the threes well and also shoot well, with home-court advantage I have to take Toronto.
Suggested Bet: Toronto Raptors ML
23 Mar 03:00 Utah Jazz v Portland Trail Blazers
It’s still not statistically over for the Blazers but the team is defeated and they think their season is over. The Blazers have lost their last 6 games and have covered the spread in neither game. The Jazz got a big win against the Kings in a game they were underdogs with odds of 3 on the home court. Utah Knows that if they win this game then they are 36-36 for the season. The West is a difficult conference and the Jazz won’t waste this opportunity against a short-handed Portland team.
