NBA Predictions & Preview for Sunday, December 22nd

Indiana Pacers vs Sacramento Kings

Start Time – 6:00 PM EST

Two teams that were hoping for much more out of their season meet up tomorrow in California. Both the 13-15 Indiana Pacers and the 13-15 Sacramento Kings have underachieved this season, but at least the Pacers are in the Eastern Conference and are therefore still in the playoff hunt.

Despite the Pacers playing well of late, my numbers tell me that the Kings are the play here on the spread. Adding in the home-court advantage (they’re historically one of the best teams at home), the Kings should be favored by 6.5 points.

Best Bets: Sacramento -2.5 (-115)

Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

Right on cue I’m back again fading the New Orleans Pelicans. They aren’t good, their two best players are out again tomorrow, and Sunday is the second night in a back-to-back for them. And the Denver Nuggets are in town.

For all the reasons listed above, the line here should be Denver -14. Since it’s not close to that on the books, Denver is our play.

Best Bets: Denver -8.5 (-105)

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