The Golden State Warriors came to the top of the NBA’s online betting circles as these darling boys that play great team basketball. With Stephen Curry as their face, the Dubs quickly made their way to the hearts of hardcore live betting fans and casual spectators alike.
However, their recent antics with referees and opposing players have turned them into quite an interesting watch. While they are far from being the Bad Boy Pistons of the 80s, their attitude makes for exciting basketball.
We’ll be in for a treat when they square off against Russell Westbrook’s Thunder!
Orlando Magic @ Philadelphia 76ers (February 25, 6:00 GMT +8)
The first order of action tomorrow is between the lowly Magic and the entertaining Sixers.
Nikola Vucevic’s return should offer some additional firepower to a Magic side that have lost their spark. His presence down low should take some of the pressure off Evan Fournier, Mario Hezonja and Jonathon Simmons. However, I don’t see them winning against Joel Embiid on his home floor.
You shouldn’t doubt The Process and a punt on Philly with a 9.50 Asian Handicap nets 1.91.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Miami Heat (February 25, 8:30 GMT +8)
The Grizzlies were chewed out by the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier, while the Heat put on a brilliant display before falling short of the W. Goran Dragic alone could dismantle the entire Memphis starting lineup, and I see an easy home win for Miami.
Boston Celtics @ New York Knicks (February 25, 8:30 GMT +8)
The Celtics finally snapped their skid with a dominant win over the Detroit Pistons. While the Knicks also did the same against Orlando, I don’t think Enes Kanter can outscore Kyrie Irving.
This is an easy win for Boston, and a -4.50 handicap for the C’s will reward you with 1.91 odds.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors (February 25, 9:30 GMT +8)
Easily the most intriguing match of the day, this game will send off loud fireworks all over the Bay Area.
The Thunder are somehow getting by, but a narrow win against Sac-Town doesn’t bode well for a squad that’s supposedly gunning for the best team in the world. Meanwhile, the Dubs will still play their brand of basketball and will force the Thunder to keep up to their beat.
I think this is still a win for the Thunder, but we know just how extra Russell Westbrook becomes when he faces Kevin Durant. Oklahoma City +8.50 @ 2.03 is a perfect punt to make.
Chicago Bulls @ Minnesota Timberwolves (February 25, 10:00 GMT +8)
Jimmy Butler won’t likely be suiting up for the Wolves after suffering an unspecified knock on his knee. With that being said, Tom Thibodeau would have to make do with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins as they welcome the high-scoring Zach LaVine back to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Portland Trail Blazers @ Phoenix Suns (February 25, 10:00 GMT +8)
The Blazers enjoyed a comfortable win in Utah while the Suns didn’t see any changes after the All-Star break. Devin Booker will try everything on his own again, but Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum will likely keep him in check.
Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz (February 25, 10:00 GMT +8)
The Mavericks’ ugly loss to the Lakers only adds to the strain experienced by the franchise due to its off-court scandals. While Harrison Barnes and Dennis Smith Jr. will probably do the heavy lifting this time, I don’t think they can stop the Jazz: the hosts simply have a better roster than them.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Sacramento Kings (February 25, 11:00 GMT +8)
There is a bit of hype n this North-vs-South-California battle.
The Kings nearly brought down the Thunder in what was an interesting game while the Lakers thrashed the Mavericks out of Hollywood. NCAA fans would also be kind of excited for this match, as the oncoming March Madness would remind people of the schooling De’Aaron Fox handed Lonzo Ball last year.
I don’t think the Big Baller Brand’s poster child would allow a repeat of that tragedy.
