NBA Betting Tips: 25 March

There’s NBA action to look forward to on Saturday morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for four matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

25 Mar 01:30 Toronto Raptors v Detroit Pistons

Not a lot of reading goes into this game, it’s a game between a team that is pushing for the post-season against a team that’s been tanking. The Raptors are going to win this game and I see them covering the spread. Detroit has lost their last 9 away games and in this game, they will lose every single quarter from start to finish, take Toronto.

Suggested Bet: Toronto Raptors -8.5

25 Mar 04:00 Golden State Warriors v Philadelphia 76ers

The problem with the Warriors this season has been their away record, they would be higher than the 6th seed if they played well away as they do at home. Now when they play at home they can beat any team, in their last 13 home games they have only lost once. Joel Embiid and James Harden are listed as doubtful for this game but will likely play. The Warriors are not happy sitting 6th on the log and I see them winning this game with yet another excellent performance from the splash brothers.

Suggested Bet: Golden State Warriors ML

25 Mar 04:00 Sacramento Kings v Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns since their trades and losing KD to injury have remained overvalued when it comes to odds. They are short-handed and do not have the offensive depth to compete with really good teams. Last time these two played each other the Suns couldn’t handle the Kings’ offense and were resulting in foul trouble. The Kings have been sloppy in their last 2 games but this is the one they bounce back at the Golden 1 Center.

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings ML

25 Mar 04:30 LA Lakers v Oklahoma City Thunder

This is a must-win game for the Lakers and they should win it. The Kings are playing back-to-back here and coming from a loss against the Clippers, in this game fatigue will be their issue. The Lakers are well rested and they know if they beat OKC they would be 2-1 against them this year and also climb above them on the log, take LA.

Suggested Bet: LA Lakers ML
