NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, December 20th

The NBA is really not giving us much to work with again tomorrow. We had one game on Tuesday, none on Wednesday, and now only three games on Friday. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, December 20th.

NBA Predictions & Preview for Friday, December 20th

Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

I really don’t understand why the Philadelphia 76ers are laying so many points tomorrow night against the visiting Charlotte Hornets. Yes, it’s the second night of a back-to-back for the Hornets, and they’re bad on the road, but Philly is 3-9 at home! And Joel Embiid, as per usual, is questionable for the game.

Plus, Charlotte – knock on wood – is finally healthy. A more reasonable line for this game would be Philadelphia -2.5, but I’ll gladly take advantage of the one we’re being given.

Best Bets: Charlotte +9.5 (-108)

MILWAUKEE BUCKS VS CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

The Milwaukee Bucks are bound to be overvalued for a bit after winning the NBA Cup. They definitely will have their hands full tomorrow night in Cleveland against the Cavaliers, minus Damian Lillard and probably Khris Middleton.

The Cavs are 14-1 at home, while Milwaukee is a very poor 4-7 on the road. Cleveland should be favored by 11 points in this spot, so the play is on them.

Best Bets: Cleveland -7.5 (-120)

Overall Record: 51-32 (61%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1468.47
Return on Investment: 18%
