Betseeker’s expert tipsters have you covered for the best NBA tips and predictions for every game of the NBA season.
After day off across the league on Wednesday, we’re back with 13 games on Thursday to get our NBA fix.
Best Bet
Cavaliers @ Kings (2:00pm)
Sacramento has been a good match-up for Centres for some time, and Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen should capitalise in this match-up.
Allen averages 13.5 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists totalling an average PRA of 26.9, and from his last eight games the Cavs Centre has covered the 25.5 PRA in six of those games.
Last season against the Kings, Allen recorded an average PRA of 33.5 from two meetings and with the Kings the third easiest team in the NBA for centres to score against, we should see something similar on Thursday.
Next Best
Rockets @ Raptors (11:30am)
The Raptors are one of the best coverage teams in the NBA, going at 72.7% across all games and 80% on their home floor.
They’ve faced some tough opposition in Toronto so far this season and come out with a 4-1 record, with the 2-9 Rockets their easiest match-up of the season so far. Despite Houston just beating Orlando on the road last game, their average losing margin prior to this was 11.6 points and they’ve only covered on the road at 37.5% this season.
Even without Pascal Siakam, the Raptors will be far too good for the Rockets, with a potential 20+ point win on the cards for Toronto.
Value Bet
Pelicans @ Bulls (12:00pm)
Zion’s should have no trouble clearing 3.5 dimes based on recent form and the 6+ assists looks great value when New Orleans head to Chicago.
The Bulls are the third easiest team in the NBA for power forwards to produce assists against this season, with Zion covering 3.5 assists four times in his last five games averaging 5.2 during that recent stretch.
From those five games, Zion’s actually produced seven assists on three occasions which might be worth a play at $4.55, but more than happy with the line and 6+ paying $2.85.
Thursday NBA Multi
Grizzlies/Mavericks/Bucks/Trail Blazers/Raptors = $4.50
