NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, December 6th

I’ve only gone 50% on my daily NBA best bets over the last three days, an unacceptable rate for me. Time to pull up my socks heading into the weekend. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, December 6th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, December 6th

Milwaukee Bucks vs Boston Celtics

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

This is the game that my numbers like the best, but there are a bunch of question marks heading into it. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford are all questionable for the game. Of that bunch, It looks like Giannis is the most likely to suit up.

I’m still going with the Celtics, regardless. Milwaukee is terrible on the road (3-6), and Boston, even with players out of action, has superior depth. The numbers say this line should be Boston -12.5, so we have a bit of wiggle room if someone doesn’t play for Boston.

Best Bets: Boston -6 (-110)

Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

With all the talk about how bad LeBron James has been of late, maybe it’s a good thing he’s questionable to suit up tomorrow night against the Atlanta Hawks. Whether he plays or not, I’m in on Atlanta in this spot.

The Hawks are actually not terrible this season – better than the Lakers, believe it or not. Adding their home-court advantage into the mix, they should be a five-point favorite for this game.

Best Bets: Atlanta -3.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 42-21 (67%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1750.88
Return on Investment: 28%
