NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, December 23rd

Utah Jazz vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

This play is similar to the one I wrote about below (which I wrote before I wrote this one if that makes sense). One of the top teams in the league, playing at home, against one of the worst teams in the L.

The Cavs are 16-1 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse this season and have won their last three games by 20+ points. My calculations say they could cover a 20.5-point spread tomorrow night as well.

Best Bets: Cleveland -14.5 (-110)

Washington Wizards vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

Despite a wide 18-point spread, my numbers say that the Oklahoma City Thunder laying the points is the best bet for tomorrow’s NBA slate, so I’m going to trust the numbers. My results so far this season say to do so.

This is a matchup between the best and worst teams in the league, with the best team playing at home tomorrow night. And OKC has blasted plenty of mediocre teams by 18+ points this season.

Best Bets: Oklahoma City -18 (-110)

Overall Record: 55-35 (61%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1524.91
Return on Investment: 17%
