As the NBA action heats up on a six-game Sunday slate, let’s delve into the NBA matchups and identify potential betting opportunities.
LA Clippers vs. Brooklyn Nets
Pick: LA Clippers -10.5 points (-105)
Despite a substantial spread, the Clippers, with Kawhi Leonard back, boast an impressive record, winning 16 of their last 18 games with a significant scoring margin. Fresh legs and home advantage make them likely to cover against a struggling Nets team.
Washington Wizards vs. Denver Nuggets
Pick: Washington Wizards +13.5 points (-110)
In this matchup, the Wizards, despite their overall record, tend to keep games close at home. The Nuggets face a potential trap game, being the only matchup against a lottery-bound opponent in a 10-game span. Expect the Nuggets to win, but the Wizards to cover.
Houston Rockets vs. Boston Celtics
Pick: Houston Rockets +11.5 points (-110)
While the Rockets have slowed down, their solid home performance (16-6) makes the double-digit line aggressive. The Celtics, though dominant at home, may not be overwhelming favorites on the road against a team performing well at home.
Tyrese Haliburton Prop Bet
Pick: Tyrese Haliburton over 11.5 assists (-140)
Returning from injury, Haliburton showcased his playmaking with 17 assists in his last game. Facing the Suns, who allow a significant number of assists to point guards, Haliburton’s performance should exceed 11.5 assists.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Pick: Portland Trail Blazers +10.5 points (-115)
The Lakers, struggling recently, have lost seven of their last 11 games. The Trail Blazers, especially with Malcolm Brogdon in the lineup, have been more competitive. Expect them to at least keep the game close against the Lakers.
