NBA Betting Tips – 5 January

NBA action continues tomorrow morning and Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for four matches. Feel free to take his tips and use them on your bet slip.

05 Jan 02:00 Charlotte Hornets v Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies could be set on an amazing run, as they could win at least their next 5 games, they’ve also won their last 3 games. The Hornets got Lamelo Ball back from injury but then they lost Kelly Oubre, it’s still going to be a very long season for them. Recently this fixture has had one denominator and that is Memphis, they have won 7 times in their last 8 games head-to-head. Ja Morant is playing excellent basketball right now, the Hornets don’t have the defense to stop him, bet on the Grizzlies.

Suggested Bet: Memphis Grizzlies ML

05 Jan 02:00 Cleveland Cavaliers v Phoenix Suns

This Phoenix team is not the same as last season, in their last game against the Knicks, they only had 31 points in the first half. Now they should struggle here too because the Cavs are the best defensive team this season, allowing only 106.9 points per game. Donovan Mitchell is coming off a historic game where he registered 71 points, he won’t get the same points here but he will certainly dominate. The Suns are still without Devin Booker, the Suns have lost their last 3 on the road, it will be 4 after this game.

Suggested Bet: Cleveland Vacaliers ML

05 Jan 02:00 Philadelphia 76ers v Indiana Pacers

The Line for the over is set really high here but this is going to be a high-scoring game, the bet for this game will be over on points. This fixture doesn’t disappoint when it comes to overs, the last 4 head-to-head the over was covered and in their last 9 games only once was it not a high-scoring game. The Pacers are high-scoring machines, in their last 4 they’re averaging 121 points per game, The Sixers over has also come 5 times out of their last 6. Both teams are rested, bet on the over.

Suggested Bet: Over 226

05 Jan 03:00 Chicago Bulls v Brooklyn Nets

Jacque Vaughn has transformed the Nets and his work speaks for itself, the Nets have won 12 games in a row. This Nets team has the best field goal percentage in the league at 51.5%. Lots of players have improved like the likes of Nic Claxton and Ben Simmons is now gaining confidence with each game played.

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets ML
