Monday’s four-game NBA action is brewing to be another exciting sports betting affair with both the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs looking to get back in the win column.
The two online gambling heavyweights are struggling recently, but they now have a great chance to turn things around and get their season back on track against teams that are also in a slump.
Besides that, the Lakers-Knicks and Nets-Pistons matchups are also promising to provide plenty of mobile betting drama, especially with New York’s Kristaps Porzingis aiming to show why he’s an All-Star.
Orlando Magic @ Boston Celtics (January 22, 02:00 GMT+8)
It’s saddening to see how far the Magic have fallen after their bright start to the season. They are now bottom of the East and have lost 17 of their last 20 games.
Boston are also in a poor run of form after losing to New Orleans and Philadelphia, but the possible return of Kyrie Irving should help them return to winning ways. Not to mention that they are up against a struggling squad they blew out twice already. Given their record, betting on Boston -10.00 @ 1.87 is a no-brainer.
New York Knicks @ Los Angeles Lakers (January 22, 04:30 GMT+8)
Lakers beware: Kristaps Porzingis is on a mission.
After not being selected as an All-Star starter out East, the Latvian star will certainly look to prove why fans are mistaken for not putting him ahead of the NBA’s undisputed Twitter king, Joel Embiid.
Unfortunately for the Lakers, they have to face a motivated Porzingis who exploded for 37 points the first time they met this season.
Brooklyn Nets @ Detroit Pistons (January 22, 05:00 GMT+8)
Detroit have been performing inconsistently this year; however, they’ll head into this match with their heads held high knowing for a fact that they defeated this Brooklyn team by 34 points a couple of weeks ago.
Although the Nets will hope for a different result this time with D’Angelo Russell back, it’s still difficult to expect the talented guard to produce good numbers in just his second game since returning from injury. If you’re punting, the Pistons -6.50 @ 2.02 seem the best choice.
Indiana Pacers @ San Antonio Spurs (January 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
Offence is the main issue for the Spurs, and it doesn’t help that Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out until early February.
Victor Oladipo and Indiana will undoubtedly pose a threat. After all, they already took down San Antonio in their first meeting. Nonetheless, if there’s any silver lining for Gregg Popovich’s side, it’s that they rarely lose at home…in fact, they haven’t suffered a defeat at AT&T Center since November!
I expect this match to be close, though picking the Spurs -6.50 @ 2.04 is a tempting move to make.
