The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t looking like the sure Finals contenders many betting websites pegged them to be at the moment.
Their consecutive losses have made betting odds uncertain, Tyronn Lue nervous, LeBron James livid, and Kyrie Irving laughing all the way from London. Putting your money on The Land right now won’t get you a sure win. Something has to give for the Cavs if they want to win it all.
Don’t worry if you don’t feel like betting on the Cavs; there are a lot more games that you could catch and bet on.
Utah Jazz @ Charlotte Hornets (January 13, 8:00 GMT +8)
The Jazz pulled off an impressive victory against the Washington Wizards, making it a nice flash in a terrible losing run they are currently in. Donovan Mitchell is doing great work for the Jazz, but I’m not sure if they can control Kemba Walker and the Hornets without Rudy Gobert. Punters would win a lot with Charlotte -4.50 @ 2.03.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Indiana Pacers (January 13, 8:00 GMT +8)
The popular video of LeBron James going off on his team-mates is the perfect imagery to display the amount of panic probably going through the heads of the Cleveland faithful. Sure, they are the overwhelming favourites when they visit Indiana, but the possibility of another collapse won’t escape the minds of LeBron’s team-mates and fans.
Orlando Magic @ Washington Wizards (January 13, 8:00 GMT +8)
Orlando haven’t been playing up to par in comparison to their opposition, so we can expect the Washington Wizards to simply overpower their lowly visitors. However, Washington themselves are struggling to get wins and will likely fight their way to a W. The best punt to make in this game is Orlando +10.50 @ 2.00.
Brooklyn Nets @ Atlanta Hawks (January 13, 8:30 GMT +8)
Both clubs are playing terrible basketball, but Atlanta will be playing at the Philips Arena with renewed confidence. Brooklyn as a team struggle to win on the road and will likely exert a lot of effort in winning against these Hawks. Atlanta -3.50 @ 1.98 is a great punt to make.
Golden State Warriors @ Milwaukee Bucks (January 13, 9:00 GMT +8)
The Warriors endured a puzzling defeat to the LA Clippers, and Steve Kerr should have already patched their holes up with a bit of discipline and drills. Expect the Warriors to be back in full form when they head up north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and straight into Giannis Country.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will mount a fierce resistance, but Klay Thompson’s return to the lineup should make them deadly once more. Golden State -6.00 @ 1.96 is a sure win in my book.
New York Knicks @ Minnesota Timberwolves (January 13, 9:00 GMT +8)
The Timberwolves are building a nice winning after winning consecutive blowouts against the Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Given their strong performances at home, it wouldn’t be weird to root for them when they host the New York Knicks.
Portland Trail Blazers @ New Orleans Pelicans (January 13, 9:00 GMT +8)
Damian Lillard and Portland did all they could against the Rockets, but Chris Paul was just too good that day. All the Blazers could do now is move on and pounce on the injury-ridden Pelicans. With Anthony Davis’ condition still in doubt, it’s the perfect game for Lillard and CJ McCollum to bounce back on.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Denver Nuggets (January 13, 10:00 GMT +8)
The Grizzlies are keeping themselves competitive thanks to the efforts of Marc Gasol and Tyreke Evans. Grind City will definitely try to claw away at the Nuggets, a team currently on a three-game losing skid. I think there’s something wrong with the current rotation if Nikola Jokic can’t even pass his way to a win over the Kings.
Memphis +7.50 @ 2.00 is the best betting decision to make when it comes to this game.
Houston Rockets @ Phoenix Suns (January 13, 11:30 GMT +8)
Barring his issues with refereeing, Chris Paul is having a wonderful time leading the Houston Rockets. He and Eric Gordon have been helping Houston snag some wins. Meanwhile, Devin Booker and the Suns capitalized on OKC’s troubles and got away with a blowout win at home.
This game should make for very entertaining television, but I think the Rockets take the cake on this one. Betting on Houston -7.00 @ 1.89 is not a bad choice if we consider the roster quality of both sides.
