Sports betting fans are quickly changing their predictions of the Eastern Conference after the Cleveland Cavaliers experience a streak of continuous losses. LeBron James is obviously frustrated with his team, giving teams in the East a chance to snatch the throne from the Land.
There are only six games on offer tomorrow, but one of them feature the frustrated Cavs. Will you bet online for these struggling Kings of the East? Are they even worth the risk at this point?
Brooklyn Nets @ Detroit Pistons (February 8, 8:00 GMT +8)
The Pistons are so far enjoying the benefits of new acquisition Blake Griffin, given how the team hasn’t lost a game since the shocking trade. Meanwhile, the Nets have spectacularly lost all three of their last games. I don’t see the Nets winning this one by a long shot, so the proper bet to make here is Detroit -9.50 @ 2.04.
Houston Rockets @ Miami Heat (February 8, 8:30 GMT +8)
The Rockets can’t help but thrive under James Harden and Chris Paul’s shared floor generalship. While Goran Dragic and the Miami Heat aren’t a bad team by any means, the fast-paced Houston offence would simply just swallow them whole. There shouldn’t be any reason to doubt a bet on Houston -5.00 @ 2.04.
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Cleveland Cavaliers (February 8, 9:00 GMT +8)
The Cleveland front office won’t talk to LeBron James. Isaiah Thomas keeps on deflecting criticism. Kevin Love is out for a good chunk of the season. If this doesn’t spell trouble for the Cavs, I don’t know what will.
They need to get their stuff together if they wish to win against the Wolves. I personally see LeBron James getting it back together in a tight clash, so the best bet to make is on Cleveland +3.00 @ 2.02.
Utah Jazz @ Memphis Grizzlies (February 8, 9:00 GMT +8)
The Jazz are in their element, grooving through games and beating some incredible competition. I honestly don’t see the Grizzlies, who lost by 26 points to the Hawks, would be able to stop Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio and Rudy Gobert. Put your money on Utah -7.50 @ 1.99.
Indiana Pacers @ New Orleans Pelicans (February 8, 9:00 GMT +8)
Anthony Davis is struggling to keep the Pelicans afloat by himself, and a tough challenge awaits him when the Pacers come to town. Victor Oladipo is a game-time decision, but I don’t doubt the motor on this first-time All-Star. I see the game going from end to end as these two stars duke it out.
San Antonio Spurs @ Phoenix Suns (February 8, 11:30 GMT +8)
Both of these teams have endured tough losses over the past seven days, so a win here is a huge confidence booster for either side. Devin Booker will try to score his way to the W, but I don’t think Gregg Popovich will allow that to happen. We can also expect quality plays from LaMarcus Aldridge.
