Before the NBA heads into the All-Star weekend, the Nuggets, Bucks, Timberwolves and Lakers will look to excite the online gambling community and provide sports betting fans a teaser of what to expect from their All-Star players in the annual festivity.
Milwaukee and Minnesota, in particular, will look to get the attention of betting websites as they eye to make a statement before the break and solidify their positions in the playoff race.
Denver Nuggets @ Milwaukee Bucks (February 16, 09:00 GMT+8)
The Nuggets and Bucks meet in what should be a hard-fought encounter.
This game is the first time they’ll play this season, and it’s difficult to see who has the better form as they are both riding a two-game winning streak.
Sure enough, Milwaukee have All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo leading them, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that Denver have Nikola Jokic who is coming off a triple-double performance against the Spurs.
If there’s any silver lining for the Bucks, it’s that they’ll be playing at home where they have won their last five games.
I believe this will be close, but I think the smart money is still on Milwaukee to win on -2.50 @ 1.87.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Minnesota Timberwolves (February 16, 10:00 GMT+8)
Luke Walton’s men weren’t able to beat the Wolves in their first two battles this year, and it won’t help in their confidence that they were blown out by an average of 18 points in both games.
Minnesota lost to the Houston Rockets the last time out; however, that doesn’t erase the fact that they went unbeaten at home for 13 straight games before that.
The Lakers, meanwhile, have lost two road games in a row, the latest against a New Orleans Pelicans side that dropped 139 points against them.
