NBA Betting Tips: 25 February

There’s NBA action to look forward to on Saturday morning, and as always, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for three matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

25 Feb 02:00 Washington Wizards v New York Knicks

We’ve got a great underdog here and I’m taking the New York Knicks here. In the Knicks’ last 3 victories what has helped them is their rebounding. They out-rebounded their previous 3 teams, which led to their wins. Their last loss was to the Sixers who out-rebounded them, now here the Knicks get more boards than the Wizards.

The Knicks are the third-best rebounding team while the Wizards are seventh. This game is going to be close but I am taking the team with the better offence and defence.

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks +5.5

25 Feb 03:00 Chicago Bulls v Brooklyn Nets

The Bulls are on a 6 game-losing streak and even though DeRozan returns for this game, I’m still not taking them. The Nets have so much offensive depth that they are going to push the bulls, it’ll end up being the Nets winning or them covering the spread.

Last time these two played the Nets made seventeen 3-point field goals and the Bulls only made 5! Chicago is ranked 17th when it comes to shooting from behind the arc, while Brooklyn is now 2nd. Take the Nets here

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets +5.5

25 Feb 05:30 LA Clippers v Sacramento Kings

This will be the game Russell Westbrook makes his debut for the Clippers, and I see the reception ending with a nice win for the Clippers. The Kings will be playing back-to-back here, so the Clippers will be better rested. The Kings have a very good offence but their defence needs improvement, the Clippers don’t score that much but they also don’t allow that many points. This team has really improved after the trade and they know they can charge for the title, take LA here.

Suggested Bet: LA Clippers ML
