The NBA is going through a wild phase at the moment, but I don’t think betting websites are losing their marbles just yet.
The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the live betting favourites to meet in the Finals for the fourth straight year. Their slow start only means that the rest of the league upped their games this season!
It’s a great time to bet online as these clubs vie for wins!
Denver Nuggets @ New York Knicks (October 31, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Madison Square Garden will be raring to see their Knicks after an impressive victory against the Cavaliers. Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway, Jr. were impressive in Cleveland and will try to start a winning run against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
San Antonio Spurs @ Boston Celtics (October 31, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Celtics are slowly getting behind Kyrie Irving’s talents and are winning their games. However, the San Antonio Spurs will provide them with a big test. LaMarcus Aldridge will be a tough assignment for Al Horford. I think this game would go down the wire, but the C’s should emerge with the W. Go for Boston -3.00 @ 1.92.
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Miami Heat (October 31, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Minnesota Timberwolves are impressing NBA fans with their impressive lead in their season series with the Oklahoma City Thunder. I think Karl-Anthony Towns, Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins should have no problem dispatching a Miami Heat side with an unhealthy Hassan Whiteside. Chock this up for Minnesota -3.00 @ 2.00.
Orlando Magic @ New Orleans Pelicans (October 31, 08:00 GMT+8)
Aaron Gordon is seriously gunning for the Most Improved Player honours with his physicality and surprisingly accurate shots from long range. I still don’t think the Magic have enough to overcome the powerful giants of New Orleans. Shoot for the Pelicans’ -7.00 @ 1.90.
Philadelphia 76ers @ Houston Rockets (October 31, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Houston Rockets are still doing fine without Chris Paul, thanks largely to the sensational work put in by James Harden. The Beard should have no problems shutting out the Philadelphia 76ers at home. I think the Sixers will put up another impressive fight this time even if the Rockets get the W, so place your bets on Philadelphia +6.00 @ 1.95.
Charlotte Hornets @ Memphis Grizzlies (October 31, 08:00 GMT+8)
The FedExForum is still an indomitable fortress for the Memphis Grizzlies after Marc Gasol and company chewed out the Rockets at home. I don’t expect much to change for Grind City when the Hornets come to ball. If you’re looking at this game, make it a big one for Memphis -6.50 @ 1.98.
Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz (October 31, 09:00 GMT+8)
I like the way the Dallas roster is built. I just find it a bit sad that Harrison Barnes still hasn’t found the shooting stroke that should have made him the perfect cornerstone for the Dallas Mavericks. I don’t see them going past the high-intensity defence of Utah, either, so make a nice punt for Utah -7.50 @ 1.92.
Toronto Raptors @ Portland Trail Blazers (October 31, 10:00 GMT+8)
The Raptors are struggling to find the winning formula against strong teams in the West despite the efforts of DeMar DeRozan. Kyle Lowry needs to figure out his shots fast if he wants his team to have a chance against Portland. Unless Toronto’s starting floor general sorts out his shot, this game is an easy punt: make a huge splash on Portland -2.00 @ 1.94.
Golden State Warriors @ LA Clippers (October 31, 10:30 GMT+8)
We may be looking at a preview of the Western Conference Finals when these two ball clubs play ball.
Blake Griffin is playing some amazing basketball, with his three-point shooting being close to his career-high averages. Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams are doing fantastic work as well. Meanwhile, the Warriors are struggling to find some scoring production outside of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.
Things will be tight, and I think the home crowd can will another shocking upset.
