We’ve got some squash matches on the NBA slate tomorrow, with at least three of the games expected to end up in double-digit deficits. I think I’ll skip those and find some winners for us elsewhere. Here is your NBA prediction and preview for Saturday, February 1st.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, February 1st
Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The NBA’s best team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, actually lost two of their last three games – a very rare occurrence. But they’ll be getting back on track tomorrow night against the Sacramento Kings.
Sacramento is in turmoil, as per usual, with trade rumors swirling around De’Aaron Fox. Turmoil or not, OKC is going to thrash them at home. Oklahoma City -13.5 is my spread (ok I lied – I am getting in on one of the double-digit spreads I projected).
Best Bet: Oklahoma City -9 (-110)
Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
Break out the Blazers! The Portland Trail Blazers are blazing hot currently, winners of two straight and six of their last seven. So, for the second day in a row, I’m fading my beloved Phoenix Suns here.
As alluded to, this is the second night of a back-to-back for the Suns, which helps out the Blazers on the spread. Crunching the numbers, I have this game lined up as Portland -2.5.
Best Bet: Portland +3.5 (-110)
Overall Record: 93-70 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,470.83
Return on Investment: 9%
