NBA Betting Tips: 20 December

NBA is taking a centre stage tomorrow morning, and as usual, has prepared his best bets for tomorrow morning’s games. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

20 Dec 02:30 New Orleans Pelicans vs Memphis Grizzlies

Ja returning is good news not only for the Grizzlies but the league as a whole, but his season debut will not end in a victory. The Grizzlies are playing back-to-back here so the rest of the team will be more fatigued, The Pelicans have had a two-day rest, and this is a big advantage for them. In their previous 8 home games, the Pelicans have only lost once and that was to the Timberwolves, and they lost that game with one point. The Problem for the Grizzlies has also been the injuries they have suffered this season, taking the home team to win here.

20 Dec 05:00 Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics

One team here is first in the East and the other is below 500, it hasn’t been a good season for the Warriors, and I see them losing here. Steph Curry only had 7 points in his previous game against the Blazers but luckily for Golden State, Klay Thompson shot the ball well that night. Now Klay Thompson will not shoot as well here against this Celtics defense. Curry will have to step up this game, but he will not have the help, this is not the same Golden State that beat the Celtics for the championship 2 years ago. Take the Celtics to win here.

20 Dec 05:00 Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns

No other favourite in the league will give you a scare when you bet on their money line like the Suns. In 9 games they have only covered the spread once as favourites. If they were to lose this game it would not be a shocker, they are really not a good team defensively. Since Anfernee Simons’s return, the Blazers now have a good scorer alongside Jeremi Grant. I see them covering the spread here.
