NBA Season 2023/24

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:

Grizzlies -1.0 @10/11 vs Raptors

This line doesn’t make sense to us, and feel like we have an edge with Memphis. Yes, they are on a B2B, but with only 50 games left for Memphis, we expect that to be a non factor when it comes to energy. Also, they are playing at home again tonight for their 3rd straight game. In addition to all of that, Memphis is actually pretty healthy right now.

Hawks vs Thunder -1.0 @10/11

Why.. because they’re young and they looked so so good last night against Boston. Atlanta has been underwhelming so far this season so the B2B does not bother us.

Rockets vs Nets +4.5 @20/23

This line seems a little crazy, we really could see either team taking it, Nets have been okay on back to backs, Rockets haven’t been playing great but beat up a bad Pistons team. No Brooks again for the Rockets. We know the Nets haven’t been playing great they just seem like they have a lot more scoring options and Claxton has historically kept Sengun in check. The Rockets are going to need solid scoring from everyone or a big game from like Jabari or FVV to cover a decently big spread.

Bucks vs Pacers ML @7/5

Bucks and Pacers will play for the fourth time in a month, and it’s the Pacers who have won 3 of the last 4 meetings. These teams just played each other on Monday, and it was the Pacers who won despite Antetokounmpo having a triple double. Neither team plays defense and the Pacers who are ridiculously good offensively seem way too comfortable. At home and no defense from either side.

Cavaliers vs Wizards – Over 239.0 @10/11

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the better team and should be favored, but this is a lot of points for a Cavs side that’s been hit or miss and is still down Garland and Mobley. The Cavs have been inconsistent at best. While I’ve bashed the Wizards all year, mainly for their lack of defense, they’re 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games and can score the basketball.

Pelicans vs Timberwolves – Over 222.0 @10/11

The Minnesota Timberwolves have the rest advantage and have been a nightmare at home, where they’re 14-1 SU. The New Orleans Pelicans played last night. Still, these are the spots we like to get behind the Pels, when everybody is doubting them or think the moment is too big. This Pelicans roster is too talented to leave this many points on the table.

Heat +5.5 @10/11 vs Lakers

The Heat are still shorthanded with Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin and Josh Richardson all out, while the Lakers are still without D’Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura. Both teams are missing plenty of players in this one, but it’s been the Heat who have dealt with it better. The Lakers really need a win to get their season back on track, but we think the Heat are going to surprise us again and push the Lakers to at least get the cover here.
