NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, April 16th

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

In the East, either the Miami Heat or the Chicago Bulls will be cleaning out their lockers after Wednesday’s game. This one is very close in my calculations and very close on the board as well, unfortunately.

My line is Chicago -1, right where we can get it, and that’s what my play is going to be. Chicago has some really positive momentum heading into the postseason (three straight wins and six W’s in their last seven), as well as the home-court advantage.

Best Bet: Chicago -1 (-105)

Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings

Start Time – 10:00 PM EST

The late game isn’t nearly as close – at least on paper – but sadly the books have lined up the game identically with my line. And that line has the home team Sacramento Kings ending the Dallas Mavericks nightmare season prematurely.

While their record doesn’t indicate it this season (they only went 20-21 at home), historically the Kings have a very strong home-court advantage. I have this one lined up as Sacramento -5, so the Kings are the play.

Best Bet: Sacramento -4.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 164-130 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,977.76
Return on Investment: 7%
