It’s been boom or bust with the NBA recently, with 14 games on the schedule Saturday, one on Sunday, then 12 tomorrow. Plenty of juicy lines to get in on. Here is your NBA prediction and preview for Monday, January 27th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, January 27th
Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
Let’s kick things off with a play on a road dog. As I’ve mentioned before, the advanced stats have the Memphis Grizzlies as a top-four team in the NBA this season (and their win-loss record has them top-five, so it’s pretty close), so I’m liking them as a dog tomorrow at Madison Square Garden.
This game should be a pick ’em on the spread, instead of New York as a sizable favorite. So Memphis is the play.
Best Bet: Memphis +4 (-110)
Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks
Start Time – 8:30 PM EST
Oh boy do the Washington Wizards ever stink, especially on the road where they have won once in 21 tries. Will it matter that the Dallas Mavericks will be without Luka Doncic tomorrow night? Probably not.
Dallas is only 11-13 without Luka this season, but that is baked into the numbers I use to handicap these games. Even with Doncic out a large chunk of the season, the numbers still say Dallas -19 is the appropriate spread for this game.
Best Bet: Dallas -11.5 (-112)
Overall Record: 87-68 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,122.30
Return on Investment: 7%
