NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, December 21st

NBA Predictions & Preview for Saturday, December 21st

Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

My numbers tell me to zero in on this game, but it’s a tough one because neither the Utah Jazz nor the Brooklyn Nets are very interested in winning too many games this season, thus weakening their chances with the NBA Draft ping pong balls. But someone has to win this game, and I expect it to be the home team Nets.

The Nets are a much better team, plus they are playing at home, so I think they cover for us. I have this game handicapped as Brooklyn -8, so the value is on the Nets’ side of the spread.

Best Bets: Brooklyn -2 (-110)

New York Knicks VS New Orleans Pelicans

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

Let’s make this an all-New York City day of picks, and fade another garbage NBA team once again. I’m continuously making plays against the New Orleans Pelicans because they continue to be overvalued at the books.

We’ll see no Zion Williamson and no Brandon Ingram tomorrow, as usual, for the home team. While New Orleans is much better at home than on the road (1-14 on the road!), they aren’t better than the Knicks. This line should be New York -13.5.

Best Bets: New York -8.5 (-105)

Overall Record: 54-33 (62%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1629.67
Return on Investment: 19%
