The NBA makes it London stop tomorrow, and UK sports betting fans are surely in for a fantastic time with the marquee matchup of the next decade’s most probable title contender—the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers.
Besides that, the battle between Cleveland and Toronto and the intra-conference games of four West teams also provide great betting odds that are certain to thrill live betting enthusiasts.
Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers (n) (January 12, 04:00 GMT+8)
It will be a test of contrasting philosophies at the O2 when the Celtics and Sixers meet. Philadelphia are having one of the best offensive stretches as they won four consecutive games, while Boston are continuing to cement their status as the league’s best defence.
Whether they can keep up their form in an unfamiliar and neutral ground remains to be seen, though the Celtics have some edge considering that they already beat the Sixers twice this season—both with a double-digit lead. With that in mind, I suggest betting on Boston -3.00 @ 2.04.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors (January 12, 09:00 GMT+8)
Coming off an embarrassing defeat to Minnesota, the Cavs have every reason to step up in this game and take the W. However, defence remains their Achilles heel and should be a problem against the Raptors.
Toronto continue to produce good numbers on both ends of the floor, and despite their recent loss to Miami, they look better than ever with DeMar DeRozan averaging 32 points a game in their last six outings.
LA Clippers @ Sacramento Kings (January 12, 11:00 GMT+8)
Sacramento put up some fight against the Spurs the last time out, but they failed to build on the momentum as they lost horribly to the struggling Lakers.
Meanwhile, the Clippers are still inconsistent, no thanks to a string of injuries that hampered their continuity. Nonetheless, after their win over the Dubs, their attack led by Lou Williams should also be able to find its way past the Kings’ brittle wall.
San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Lakers (January 12, 11:30 GMT+8)
Kawhi Leonard’s return was expected to give the Spurs a much-needed offensive boost to bring them back to elite level. But with Leonard out (again) with a partial tear on his shoulder, San Antonio need to make do with their current roster led by LaMarcus Aldridge.
Luke Walton’s Purple and Gold won their last two games, though those are both against lower-ranked teams. It shouldn’t also help that the offensive outbursts of their supposed leaders continue to be sporadic.
