Latest NBA Predictions

The Spurs have been playing at a relatively fast tempo, ranking 12th in pace over the last 10 games. With the Knicks just 22nd in opponent fast break points per game during that same stretch, do not be surprised to see the Spurs push the ball up the court faster to try and take advantage of this. It is also worth noting that over the last 10 games the Knicks are 2nd in the NBA in 3-point percentage. With the Spurs just 26th in opponent 3-point percentage per game during that time, the hosts look set to wreak havoc from beyond the arc. If they keep their recent scoring streak going, they will help this game easily hit the over.

Minnesota is on a 3-game losing streak, they just lost by double digits in Atlanta with Randle and Edwards combining for 13 turnovers. Dallas beat them by 6 in the first meeting of the season in Minnesota, they should be able to repeat that here after winning 10 of 12 games and covering in 6 of their last 7 at home.

Boston just lost to a Orlando team that’s without their two best players. Jayson Tatum didn’t play due to an illness, he might also miss Wednesday’s game. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is on a roll with 5 wins in 7 and they should be at full strength here. The Sixers will also be encouraged by their 4-1 ATS record in the last 5 road games.

The Lakers travel up the coast to play the Warriors in a Christmas Day showdown featuring LeBron vs Curry. Both teams have been inconsistent, with the Lakers struggling offensively and defensively and the Warriors lacking rhythm despite a strong defense. LeBron thrives on Christmas games, while Curry has underperformed historically. Expect a gritty, low-scoring battle where the Lakers look likely to cover the +4 spread, with a potential upset looming.

The Suns have lost 3 straight games, but it has not been completely on their offense each loss. Against Detroit, the Suns shot 57% in the loss, and they shot 48% in their loss against Indiana. The Suns have not been able to chain together stops in the past week, surrendering 123.3 points per game in their last 3 games. Unfortunate news for the Suns is they are going against a Nuggets’ offense that is cooking. In the Nuggets last 6 games, the Nuggets offense is averaging 127.3 points per game, and they have been doing it without Murray. The Nuggets’ offense runs through their star, Jokic. Between Jusuf Nurkic and Mason Plumlee, the Suns don’t have someone who can matchup with Jokic to slow this offense down. 

The Ravens’ strengths match up well to the Texans’ weaknesses and should enable them to come away from Houston with a win. Baltimore’s pass rush can exploit Houston’s inability to protect Stroud, who has been sacked 47 times this season. And only three teams have allowed more passing touchdowns than the Texans, which does not bode well going up against an in-form Jackson, who has thrown 10 TD passes in his last three games.
