After that blowout of a game by the Warriors, betting websites move on to the other intriguing games that the NBA has on paper. The teams who will be playing tomorrow’s games will also liven up online betting forums and will make you want to glue your eyes to the screen.
There is one game that will surely interest the live betting crowd: the Spurs-Timberwolves matchup. Many easily look at the Spurs as the team to beat, but the Wolves have interesting youngsters that may shock Gregg Popovich.
Besides that, there are more than enough games to go by for everyone.
Houston Rockets @ Miami Heat (January 18, 08:30 GMT+8)
The Houston Rockets will surely get a lot of love from bookmakers when they make the trip to sunny Miami. The Heat are struggling at home and away, so it’s really impossible to expect a win coming from Erik Spoelstra and Hassan Whiteside. The question now is this: can the Heat keep the score to less than 10?
Seeing the way James Harden and co manhandled Brooklyn, I don’t think the Heat have enough manpower to stop these rockets. Punters should take advantage of this fact and choose Houston -7.50 @ 2.00.
Toronto Raptors @ Brooklyn Nets (January 18, 08:30 GMT+8)
This game is just like the Houston-Miami game; I don’t believe that Brook Lopez can single-handedly outscore Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas. The Nets will likely try to take advantage of Toronto’s injury-struck bench, but the quality of the starters should be the kiss of death for these Nets.
Again, I advise you to go big and bet on Toronto -11.50 @ 2.03.
Dallas Mavericks @ Chicago Bulls (January 18, 09:00 GMT+8)
The Mavericks are still among the worst teams in the Western Conference, but their last two games prove that they are starting to regain their rhythm. Chicago will be the first real test in a while for Mark Cuban’s team. One important assignment for Rick Carlisle is stopping Jimmy Butler from scoring.
If they manage to stop Butler, then Dallas +6.00 @ 1.90 is a tempting proposition.
Minnesota Timberwolves @ San Antonio Spurs (January 18, 09:30 GMT+8)
Even if the Minnesota Timberwolves lost their last game against Dallas, the young Wolves managed to beat Houston and Oklahoma City, squads with established superstars and talented role players. Tom Thibodeau has more than enough tools in his roster to beat Gregg Popovich. However, the Spurs are too strong a team at home to be beaten by a still-mediocre Minnesota squad.
I believe Minnesota should at least be able to keep the game close, so I’ll recommend Timberwolves +11.00 @ 1.98 for those who are interested.
Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers (January 18, 11:30 GMT+8)
The Lakers have been struggling against an array of teams, and this is music to Mike Malone. Nikola Jokic will surely stretch the Laker defence with his beautiful brand of passing basketball. Luke Walton needs to sort his men if they have any chance of winning against Denver.
I think the Nuggets will actually win this, so punters should seriously consider Denver +1.50 @ 2.00.
