NBA Tips - Friday, December 26 NBA Picks & Multi

NBA Christmas Day always presents the blockbusters, and this year is no different, with five games that could be decided by a coin toss.

Best Bet

Houston Rockets @ L.A Lakers (12:00pm)

Austin Reaves

Over 7.5 RA

Bet Now

$1.88

Reaves returned last game, and Doncic will hopefully return for L.A’s Christmas game against Houston.

In Games this season, with the Lakers at full strength, Reaves has averaged 6.5 rebounds per game which is actually a 20% increase, up on his season average of 5.4RPG.

Reaves had a triple double last Christmas Day against Golden State, after Anthony Davis went down early, of course with an injury. Monitor this one during pre-game, as Reaves is making his way back from a calf strain and only managed the 22 mins last game. If he is a starter in this one, it’s good to go.

Next Best

San Antonio Spurs @ OKC Thunder (06:30am)

Harrison Barnes

Over 9.5 Points

Bet Now

$1.84

San Antonio versus Thunder in a rematch of three days ago, where the Spurs handed OKC its fourth loss for the season, but second loss to them.

Barnes averages 15.6PPG against the Thunder in the five games they have met, since becoming a Spur. He had 20 points against them in the 20-point victory just gone. He continues to play 25 minutes since the return of Wembanyama and his dip in production looked to be from poor shooting, which he has since corrected.

His 3P% over his last 6 games is just 17.9% which is abysmal, but that’s due to a horrid 0/16 stretch over three games. Since then, Barnes has gone 5/12 at 41%. OKC have enough offensive threats to worry about without worrying about Barnes, he gets the same treatment as opposition teams choose to defend Lu Dort.

Value Bet

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets (2:30pm)

Tim Hardaway Jnr.

3+ Threes

Bet Now

$2.30

Has made a career out of shooting from deep and has found himself another opportunity to produce here, for Denver.

The Nuggets have an injury list full of forwards with Gordon, Braun and now Johnson all missing. Hardaway looks to have figured out how to play with Joker and Murray and has made 13 of his last 24 shots from deep.

He is averaging 10+ attempts from deep over his last five games and is shooting them at 46%. Has cleared this in 100% of his last five games and with those attempts, presents a great value spot.

Hardaway Jnr 3+ Threes/ Murray 6+ Assists/ Brown 5+ Points
