NBA Betting Tips – 8 December

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.

8 Dec 02:30 Toronto Raptors v Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers started their road trip with two fantastic wins but last night they were beaten by the Cavs, the reason for this is that this Lakers team is very good but only when AD is playing. AD left early in the game against the Cavs because of illness and the Lakers went on to lose. Now, this Raptors team is well rested unlike the Lakers who are playing back-to-back, AD is doubtful for this game but with confidence back the Raptors to win on the home court.

Suggested Bets: Toronto Raptors ML/ -5-5

8 Dec 02:30 Brooklyn Nets v Charlotte Hornets

The Nets are not having a good season but they are having a much better season compared to the Hornets. Injuries have been the main factor for their disappointment of a season as Lamelo Ball, and Gordon Hayward are still out. The Nets were not defending well at the beginning of the season but it’s December now and they are top 10 in allowing the fewest points and leading the league in Blocks. The Hornets do not have a good offensive team and that is what’s going to hurt them. Edmond Summer returns to Brooklyn which is good news for them, take the home side.

Suggested Bet: Brooklyn Nets ML

8 Dec 03:00 Milwaukee Bucks v Sacramento Kings

As good as the Kings have been this season I don’t see them winning this game. The Kings have been excellent offensively all season but the Bucks have a way better defense. The Kings are bottom ten in allowing points per game at 115.5, they have no defense that can stop Giannis, and it was his birthday yesterday so he will celebrate in style. If History has anything to say heading into this game is that the Bucks don’t lose to the Kings, they haven’t lost to the Kings since 2016.

Suggested Bet: Milwaukee Bucks ML

8 Dec 04:00 Utah Jazz v Golden State Warriors

The Warriors have a terrible record when playing away from home and have only managed to win twice away from the Chase Center. Now the Warriors won’t have Andrew Wiggins for this game and without him, we saw how badly they really need him in their defeat to the Pacers. Now the Warrior’s best player Steph Curry is out for this game and also their best defensive player Draymond Green is also out for this game. Bet on Utah here.

Suggested Bet: Utah Jazz ML
