Latest NBA Predictions
NBA Double Tip
The Knicks are playing their 2nd game in two nights, plus they had to travel in from Philadelphia. Chicago is not the team you want to be playing in this scenario, the Bulls play the fastest pace in the entire NBA. They’ve also covered the spread in 8 of 10 games vs East teams.
This should be all Cleveland. Philadelphia just lost by double digits vs the Knicks, they’ll be playing their 2nd game in 2 nights and will be without Joel Embiid and the already ruled out Tyrese Maxey. No need to overthink things, back Cleveland to cover.
NBA Accumulator Tip
Boston just lost at home last night to Atlanta, despite being a 15.5 point favorite. Jayson Tatum is having issues with his ankle after suffering a minor injury a couple of games ago, he might not even play here. These two teams met about a week ago and Brooklyn pushed the Cs into OT in their building, so they should be able to cover at home here.

The Thunder are basically playing without centers right now as all of them are out injured. That should force them to play at a faster pace, resulting in more scoring opportunities for both teams.
The Grizzlies made easy work of the Lakers just 1 week ago at home, but tonight they face off in Los Angeles, where the Lakers are a perfect 5-0 ATS. Memphis will also be without Ja Morant tonight, while the Lakers have returned Anthony Davis to the lineup. Back the Lakers to stay hot at home against an injured Grizzlies team.
US Sports Best Bet Double
The Kings have lost two of their last three in regulation. This is the Kings’ second-straight road game, and I see this as their second straight loss. Even with the injuries at hand, Colorado has found a way to not just stay in the mix, but to succeed at a high level. Led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, two of the NHL’s best, this team always remains a threat. It should be a fun game, but I will take the team who is riding on higher momentum on their own home ice.

What NBA tips do you offer?
Each night our expert tipsters put up the following NBA picks:
Accumulator – These are not only our most popular bet type but also one of our most confident NBA predictions. Our experts pick out the best NBA bets and put them into an accumulator, where we try to win big from a small stake.
Mega Odds Accumulator – Busy fixture schedule this week? This could be the bet for you. Our analysts pick out solid bets when there are eight or more games on and put them into a mega odds accumulator, usually between 50/1 and 150/1. Naturally, winning returns can be enormous!
Daily Double – Our tipsters pick out two of their favourite NBA tips from tonight’s games and put them into a double. If you’re looking to double your money each night then this is the bet for you.
Do you cover today’s NBA games on TV?
We preview all live NBA games shown on UK television. 170 games are broadcast by Sky Sports every season, and since these tend to be the week’s best games, we analyse them in extra detail.
How to bet on NBA basketball
In literal terms, you’ll first need to find the right betting site. You can see all of our recommended bookmakers, as well as compare their welcome offers, on our free bets page.
While our expert tips do all the research you’ll ever need, you can supplement our tips with some of your own research too. What should you take into account when betting on basketball?
The home team will normally have an advantage, particularly if the away team has a long way to travel (the US is huge!). In-play betting is also very popular in the NBA since most games see big swings in momentum – sometimes you can sense one team making a comeback from a mile off. But the best way to beat the bookies is to analyse form and statistics. But no stress, our tipsters will do that for you!
Who will win the NBA championship?
Formally known as the NBA Finals, this is a championship series played in June between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.

NBA betting terms explained
Money Line – This is an American sports term simply meaning ‘to win’. If you are backing a team on the money line then they must win for your bet to come in.
Point Spread – This is a handicap system based on points, and works the same as handicaps in football betting. For example, a Miami Heat -2.5 point spread means they must win the game by 3 clear points or more for your bet to come in, with the opposite being the case for a +2.5 point spread. If the spread is a whole number and the team end up winning by or losing by exactly that number, then the bet becomes a push and your money is refunded.
Alternative Point Spread – This is the same as a standard point spread but with a different number of points. Not many bookies offer this market but some, like bet365, offer 10 points either side of the point spread line. We love putting accumulators and banker doubles onto these as part of our NBA tips!
Game Totals – This is simply betting on the total number of points scored in a game. This might look like: Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat – Over/Under 195 =. This means you need 196 or more total points in the game to win the Overs and 194 or less to win the Unders. If the game total is a whole number and ends up being the same as the total points scored then your bet becomes a push and your stake is refunded. Note that all of the above includes overtime!
Alternative Game Totals – This is the same as ‘game totals’ but with a different number of points. Again this can be found on bet365, found under the alternative game totals tab.
Parlay – This is an American term for an accumulator. But don’t worry, our basketball betting tips use the British term!
