The coming NBA games tomorrow have enough star power to make you want to bet online!
The leading candidates for the regular season MVP will be starring in the various games NBA offers during the first week of the year. The league’s biggest stars will brighten up your day like fireworks on New Year’s Eve!
New Orleans Pelicans @ Cleveland Cavaliers (January 03, 08:00 GMT+8)
Anthony Davis and LeBron James will attract betting odds with their beautiful play when the Pelicans visit the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. With J.R. Smith still out of the rotations and Kyrie Irving questionable, it will be quite hard to tell if the Cavaliers can win comfortably against New Orleans.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Milwaukee Bucks (January 03, 08:00 GMT+8)
Russell Westbrook is one of the heaviest favourites to win the MVP race due to his insane numbers this year. His team will be slight favourites when they go to Milwaukee and face the Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo will prove to be a challenge for Westbrook, but I believe that the Thunder should be able to eke out a win. Oklahoma City +1.50 @ 2.00 seems like a worthwhile punt.
Orlando Magic @ New York Knicks (January 03, 08:30 GMT+8)
It is unknown whether Evan Fournier will be able to suit up for Orlando’s away game against the Knicks at the MSG. Thankfully for them, Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis are also unsure about their involvement in this game. However, the Knicks need the win more than the Magic and will be hustling a bit more for the W.
Utah Jazz @ Brooklyn Nets (January 03, 08:30 GMT+8)
The Brooklyn Nets are still struggling without Jeremy Lin running the show. While the Jazz are also without a deep point guard rotation due to injury, the quality of their players should easily overwhelm the Nets. Utah Jazz -7.00 @ 1.95 is a very attractive punt for many.
Washington Wizards @ Houston Rockets (January 03, 09:00 GMT+8)
James Harden’s jaw-dropping performance against the Knicks validated the claims that support his spot in the MVP race this season. Expect the Bearded One to jump on this hot streak and continue the rampage against John Wall and the Wizards.
Charlotte Hornets @ Chicago Bulls (January 03, 09:00 GMT+8)
Jimmy Butler and Kemba Walker tried to lift their teams to win against tough competition but fell short. Expect more hero ball from these two players when they meet for the second time this season. Charlotte won the first game, so Bulls want payback. It will be a close game, but I think the Bulls will win this one. Punters should consider Chicago -1.00 @ 2.02 when they go and make a bet.
Denver Nuggets @ Golden State Warriors (January 03, 11:30 GMT+8)
Kevin Durant isn’t making as much noise as LeBron James and all of the other superstars, but he is having a great season himself. He is filling the Dubs’ need of a defensive stopper, and his shooting is as deadly as ever. I don’t think the Nuggets have enough in the tank to stop the 29-5 Warriors.
A 20-point blowout won’t be that surprising, so online betting regulars should go big and choose Golden State -15.00 @ 2.04.
Phoenix Suns @ Los Angeles Clippers (January 03, 11:30 GMT+8)
On a normal day, the Clippers will easily wipe the floor with the remnants of the Suns.
However, Blake Griffin is still out and Chris Paul’s hamstring problem still makes him a question mark for this game. Even if we stay positive and say that DeAndre Jordan’s hip is all fine by tip-off, only one of the Clippers’ Big Three is present. Their deep bench should help them stay competitive against the young Phoenix squad.
