There are many fantastic teams to catch in today’s NBA, but today’s focus will be on two strong basketball teams that have built their success through differing schools of thought.
The Golden State Warriors have established themselves as the darlings of casual SBOBET fans due to their very attractive offence and star-studded starting five. The San Antonio Spurs continue to quietly dominate the league despite losing their superstar wing just this summer.
The fact that these two giants will meet tomorrow at this point of the season is enough to keep any basketball fan worth their salt intrigued. However, the Golden State-San Antonio game isn’t the only match worth watching.
Detroit Pistons @ Cleveland Cavaliers (March 19, 07:00 GMT+8)
It took an incredible team effort from Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, and the rest of the Detroit Pistons in order to manage a slightly undermanned Toronto Raptors team. Blakes 25-8-3 stat line reminded everyone that he is still a tough opponent to face.
The Pistons shouldn’t have any problem facing the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Quicken Loans Arena. While Kevin Love will put up a great fight against Griffin, I don’t think the Cavaliers have enough quality on their bench.
Utah Jazz @ Washington Wizards (March 19, 07:00 GMT+8)
The Wizards continue to defy NBA 2019 betting odds as they pulled off another fantastic result against Memphis. Bradley Beal is doing pretty well in John Wall’s absence as he leads this ragtag team into an unlikely playoff push this late in the season.
Beal, Bobby Portis, and Trevor Ariza will be putting up a good fight, but there’s enough reason to doubt their chances against the Utah Jazz. The team is rallying behind Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and they should have the quality to see Washington off with a smile.
Betting Tip: Utah Jazz -4.50 @ 1.96
Denver Nuggets @ Boston Celtics (March 19, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Boston Celtics are still considered strong contenders for the NBA title, but their erratic form this season has brought up a lot of question marks as to whether Brad Stevens’ team can actually make the push for the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Moreover, they face an impressive Denver Nuggets squad that has an outstanding Nikola Jokic that is leading the team from the five spot. Boston can win against the Nuggets, but the fight for the W will be a very tough one.
Betting Tip: Denver Nuggets +3.00 @ 2.03
New York Knicks @ Toronto Raptors (March 19, 07:30 GMT+8)
No matter what the New York Knicks do this season, they will always be at the butt of everyone’s jokes. Until they make big NBA 2019 news in the summer by drafting Zion Williamson in the draft, a lot of diehard NYK fans will be going at the franchise for trading away their franchise centrepiece for peanuts.
They may have gotten a break from losing after stealing one against an equally laughable Los Angeles Lakers, but things should return to normal when they face Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors.
Miami Heat @ Oklahoma City Thunder (March 19, 08:00 GMT+8)
Dwyane Wade’s One Last Dance takes him to Oklahoma City where he will square off against Russell Westbrook and Paul George for the final time. OKC fans haven’t forgotten what he did to them in the 2012 Finals, but they will happily see the future Hall-Of-Famer off with a smile.
However, those smiles will turn to scowls if the Thunder somehow buckle and lose against a middling Miami Heat squad.
Golden State Warriors @ San Antonio Spurs (March 19, 08:00 GMT+8)
In case you need reminding, the Golden State Warriors are still the best team in the entire association. The manner in which they took down the Houston Rockets and the OKC Thunder are evidence enough of their class.
However, they are not immune to upsets. Moreover, they will be facing the San Antonio Spurs, one of the better defensive teams in the league. The fact that they found another diamond in the rough in Derrick White is another notch in Gregg Popovich’s legend as a coach.
This will be a very exciting game that has all the bells and whistles attached to it. Expect some great plays between the Stephen Curry-Kevin Durant and DeMar DeRozan-LaMarcus Aldridge duos.
Betting Tip: Golden State Warriors -2.50 @ 1.88
New Orleans Pelicans @ Dallas Mavericks (March 19, 08:30 GMT+8)
Both the Pelicans and the Mavericks are pretty much out of the playoff conversation, but everyone can agree that Dallas’ future is brighter and more certain than their guests’.
Luka Doncic has become an instant favourite in and around the league, and his on-court skills (such as his impressive late-ge heroics against Denver) has made him a dangerous player in many coaches’ eyes.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans are still trying to figure out how they can play ball without Anthony Davis. They have a tough couple of seasons ahead of them.
Chicago Bulls @ Phoenix Suns (March 19, 10:00 GMT+8)
I will not be surprised if only a few people even bothered considering to watch the Chicago Bulls play at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Both franchises are out of playoff contention, and there’s no doubt that the fringe players will be played a lot to give them some experience.
However, what could make this interesting is the potential matchup between Zach LaVine and Devin Booker. Both of these young scorers have played well this season, and they may engage each other in a friendly scoring contest to see who scores more.
Betting Tip: Phoenix Suns -3.00 @ 1.92
Indiana Pacers @ Portland Trail Blazers (March 19, 10:30 GMT+8)
The Indiana Pacers have hardly won a game without Victor Oladipo, but their narrow victory against Oklahoma City defied logic and pre-game expectations a bit.
However, there’s not a shred of doubt that the Pacers will take the L when they play the Trail Blazers at the Moda Center. Damian Lillard is still averaging 26-5-7 a night, and he should be more than enough to carry his Blazers past a struggling yet competitive Indiana squad.
Betting Tip: Portland Trail Blazers -4.50 @ 2.00
