Slam Dunk
The NBA Games will come thick and fast so check back daily for our predictions.
Were well into the season now and with lots of competitive balls thrown now we will go for value until with some solid stats to go by, BOL
Our Picks:
Knicks vs Bucks
Our Pick: Bucks -3.5 @10/11
The Bucks match up well against the Knicks as the interior presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez causes all sorts of trouble for the rim-attacking style of Knicks scorers like Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.
The Knicks are also missing their best center Mitchell Robinson, which is especially problematic when facing Antetokounmpo around the rim. Damian Lillard tends to destroy defenses who play drop coverage.
Nuggets vs Warriors
Our Pick: Nuggets ML @5/13
Even though the Warriors have righted the ship and won three straight games. They are playing better despite the absence of Draymond Green and the lackluster performance of Andrew Wiggins. However, the Denver Nuggets are a different beast. Their starting five is healthy and very difficult to beat in Denver.
Lakers vs Celtics
Our Pick: Lakers ML @5/4
I know we say Lakers always let us down but its Christmas so here goes. This game is a toss-up and heavily dependent on availability. Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle last game and Kristaps Porzingis is dealing with an injury. Regardless, the Lakers are a dominant home team with a 10-3 record, and the Celtics struggle in away games with a 6-6 record. We know how much LeBron James loves to put on a show when the attention is on him. He will likely play a lot of minutes and put in his best effort to try to secure the win in the primetime Christmas Day showdown.
Heat vs 76ers
Our Pick: 76ers ML @6/5
The 76ers have been the best team in the league over the last month, and have the best point differential in the NBA for the season. Joel Embiid is playing the best basketball of his career as he continues to be an unstoppable offensive force. The Miami Heat finally have their full roster healthy and available, and they usually match up well with Philadelphia, so they will certainly make this a contest. But, the Sixers have been the better side all year, and the Tyrese Maxey and Embiid duo are likely to score very well against the Miami Heat defense that has been disappointing for the majority of the season.
Suns vs Mavericks
Our Pick: Mavs +4.5 @10/11
The Phoenix Suns are the only team with a losing record at home among teams with playoff hopes. They have been deeply underwhelming all season, with a frustrating inability of their Big Three to stay healthy. They need to get back on track soon, but Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have had Phoenix’s number for a while.
