I’m up almost 14 units on the year for my daily NBA best bets, which is a high-water mark for me, I believe. But it’s not enough – I still want MORE! Here is your NBA prediction and preview for Thursday, January 30th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, January 30th
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
It’s hard to make bets on teams like the Utah Jazz who aren’t trying to win games this season, but my numbers say that this is a spread worth betting on, and I trust my numbers. And I’m not betting that Utah is actually going to win this game.
However, I do think that the Jazz can cover the spread for us against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The Wolves continue to disappoint this season, and should only be a 3.5-point favorite in this spot.
Best Bet: Utah +7.5 (-110)
Orlando Magic vs Portland Trail Blazers
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
The Portland Trail Blazers are another team not trying to win too many games this season. However, apparently someone forgot to tell their players this, as they’ve won five of their last six games.
And the Blazers are welcoming the Orlando Magic to town at an opportune time, as the Magic have lost six of seven and eight of 10, including their last four road games. Orlando -1.5 is the appropriate line.
Best Bet: Portland +5 (-105)
Overall Record: 91-69 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,380.36
Return on Investment: 9%
