NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, January 18th
Phoenix Suns vs Detroit Pistons
Start Time – 4:00 PM EST
I’ll be in person for this game tomorrow in Detroit to cheer on the Phoenix Suns, but that doesn’t mean I’m taking the Suns on the spread. I, in fact, am not. Despite their improved play lately, I don’t expect them to cover tomorrow against the Pistons.
The advanced stats have Detroit as a slightly better team than Phoenix this season. Then you consider probably no Bradley Beal for Phoenix tomorrow plus the home-court advantage for Detroit, and the line for this game should be Detroit -3.
Best Bet: Detroit +2 (-110)
Washington Wizards vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 8:30 PM EST
Not only are the Washington Wizards the worst team in the NBA this season, they are an amazingly terrible 1-15 on the road. Do I expect them to get win #2 tomorrow in the Bay? No, I do not.
How bad are the Wizards? Despite the Golden State Warriors being a completely average team, they should be favored by 17.5 points tomorrow night at home. Because Washington hasn’t just been losing games – they’ve been getting obliterated by double digits in games.
Best Bet: Golden State -13.5 (-110)
Overall Record: 78-59 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1207.69
Return on Investment: 9%
