There might be only three NBA games scheduled this Wednesday, but every match won’t lack the intense basketball action you’re craving for as the six teams vying for a win all aim to impress the live betting crowd.
Not to mention that the Charlotte Hornets, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks will also be determined to delight online betting with their fantastic plays.
Brooklyn Nets @ Charlotte Hornets (February 8, 08:00 GMT+8)
Both teams have the current longest losing streak in the NBA, with Brooklyn losing nine in a row and Charlotte seven. However, the result of this battle will be more important for the Hornets as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Nets aren’t much of a threat without a consistent go-to guy; and although they are deadly when they get hot from deep, it hasn’t worked out well for them so far. Hence, the Hornets can take advantage of this to pull away early and secure a comfortable lead, especially with their defence boosted by the acquisition of Miles Plumlee.
With that said, go for Charlotte -10.00 for 1.86.
Orlando Magic @ Houston Rockets (February 8, 09:00 GMT+8)
If there’s one thing that opponents have proven about the Rockets in their past ten games, it is the fact that Houston are only a scary team when they are sharp and hitting it from the three-point territory. Thus, with such an obvious weakness, Orlando are expected to exploit it to keep the game close.
The presence of a terrifying frontcourt of Serge Ibaka and Nikola Vucevic should also make life harder for Houston, particularly with their need to strengthen in that area.
I think this game will be close like their first encounter, so I’ll pick Orlando +10.50 for 2.06.
Portland Trail Blazers @ Dallas Mavericks (February 8, 09:30 GMT+8)
Yogi Ferrell has brought his winning pedigree to Dallas, and the Mavericks are reaping the benefits as they won four of their last five games now. The same goes for Seth Curry who has been a revelation, partnering with Ferrell to form a surprising energy-packed backcourt.
Portland have seen what this improving Mavs can do, so they will surely aim to stop them from getting any momentum. Though, they will need their defence to do better than their meeting last Saturday in order to achieve that.
