The Lakers, Mavericks, Suns and Wolves will all look to get some much-needed victory to keep their chase for the Western Conference eighth seed alive.
However, with their losing records, betting websites and the betting odds won’t be on their side when the NBA‘s battle for survival resumes this Monday.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks (January 23, 04:30 GMT+8)
Dallas won their first two meetings this season, so online betting fans will back them to take the W in this game. Nonetheless, with the Mavericks clearly struggling on the glass with Dirk Nowitzki anchoring the centre position, the Lakers’ Timofey Mozgov and Tarik Black—who dominated Indiana the last time out—may prove to be difficult opponents for them.
That being said, the Lakers +6.00 for 1.92 should be a good bet.
Phoenix Suns @ Toronto Raptors (January 23, 07:00 GMT+8)
The Raptors will be in deep trouble if they fail to get their offence going in this game. Their 78-point outing against the Hornets is far from their usual display, and they can’t afford another terrible shooting performance as they’ll be facing the Suns that can go hot anytime with the backcourt duo of Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe.
Denver Nuggets @ Minnesota Timberwolves (January 23, 08:00 GMT+8)
This battle will be an interesting meeting between the Wolves’ Karl-Anthony Towns and the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, who has been playing excellent basketball over the past weeks.
Jokic’s emergence has propelled Denver to take the eighth seed in the Western Conference, and they will surely be a threat to Minnesota who had a hard time dealing with a Clippers side playing without their All-Stars.
Golden State Warriors @ Orlando Magic (January 23, 01:00 GMT+8)
Golden State have won six in a row now, and there’s no stopping them from making it seven. Orlando’s frontcourt of Aaron Gordon, Serge Ibaka, Bismack Biyombo and Nikola Vucevic will certainly make things a little harder for the visitors, but the Warriors’ high-octane offence led by the consistent Kevin Durant should still prevail.
This one is a no-brainer. Choose Golden State -13.50 for 2.04.
