NBA Betting Tips: 25 January

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

25 Jan 03:00 New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic was out for the last Nuggets game and they lost, but he returns for this game and so do Bones Hyland and MPJ. Brandon Ingrams’ status has changed and he could make a return for this game but even with him starting, I’m backing the Nuggets to either win or cover the spread.

The Pelicans are a nuisance when Zion is playing but without him, they are not a team to fear, in their last 9 they are currently 2-7. When it comes to shooting the Nuggets are up there with the best, their offence will be too much for this Pelicans side. The Nuggets are still the best in the west, Take them on the spread.

Suggested Bet: Denver Nuggets +1.5

25 Jan 03:30 Dallas Mavericks v Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards got their last win against the Magic in a game they won by 20 points, and in that game, the star of the show was Rui Hachimura. Now the Wizards already do not have Porzingis and now they will not have Rui because he is going to the Lakers. Luka Doncic is a hungry player, he was angry that the Mavs did not win their previous game and against this Wizards team, he is going to lead his side to a home win here.

Suggested Bet: Dallas Mavericks ML

25 Jan 04:00 Phoenix Suns v Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets are a terrible side, the Suns have 5 regular players out because of injury and yet they are still favourites to win, that should tell you how bad Charlotte is. The Suns right now are picking up momentum having won their last 3 games and with veteran Chris Paul back he will lead this game.

Phoenix has more than enough offensive depth for this game with the likes of Mikal Bridges, and Cam Johnson who will lead the scoring. The Hornets are playing back-to-back while Phoenix has had enough rest, take them to win here.

Suggested Bet: Phoenix Suns ML
